Get acquainted to high alpine life in the Dolomites as you live above the clouds. Spend your days hiking through peaks, passes and sweeping views of pink limestone. At night you’ll sleep in remote refugios (mountain huts), accessible only by foot. This mountaineer’s pilgrimage will culminate in the exploration of historic tunnels caved through the rock during WW1.
Gear up with professional mountain guides and head out for the via ferrata (iron road) of Cinque Torri. Learn to navigate the equipment and adrenaline of technical mountaineering as you climb in rope teams up the challenging and stunning terrain of the Cinque Torri towers. Take in a whole new vertical view of the Dolomites.
Explore the inverted world, descending into the canyons and waterways of Parc National du Dolomiti Friulane. Canyoneering offers a unique vantage point to the inner Dolomiti world, and you’ll learn the techniques to take you there. Rappel into caverns carved by water, scramble across boulders, jump off waterfalls, and drop into the subterranean road less traveled.
Spend your last Italian moments exploring the ancient floating city of Venice. This world wonder is a place unlike any other, where there is only one main road, and countless canals, secret walkways, bridges and footpaths to discover in this cultural gem. Savor the gelato, gondolas and rich history of this incredible city.
