Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

2Belluno to Rifugio Venezia via Zoldo Alto
Ready for your very first hike of the trip? This morning, we’ll hop on public transport and roll into the Zoldo Valley. Think: fresh air, forest trails, and fantastic Dolomites views. Okay, boots on! A Local Guide will join us for the trek, heading towards the slopes of Mount Pelmo as the scenery ramps up with every step. Today’s hike is around 6 km with roughly 700 metres of climbing to reach Rifugio Venezia, our mountain-home for the night. Bonus track: if you’re feeling extra energised, you’ll have the option to add Monte Penna (an extra 5 km with around 250 metres more uphill)

Day
3Rifugio Venezia to Rifugio Coldai
Set off from Rifugio Venezia and hike through conifer forest, opening up to wide views over the Zoldo Valley (with Mount Civetta stealing the show). Hungry? We’ll stop at an alpine hut in the meadows for a quick lunch and a chance to sample local produce. This afternoon, we’ll push on to Rifugio Coldai (trekking 12 km, with an elevation of 700m). It’s a proper hike, but the scenery’s doing most of the heavy lifting. And if you’re still feeling fresh come join us for an optional swing by Lake Coldai to catch it in that evening-light magic.

Day
4Rifugio Coldai to Rifugio Vazzoler via Rifugio Tissi
Goodbye, Rifugio Coldai. Today’s one of the most iconic Alta Via stages - crossing the Civetta Valley with that massive north-west face right beside us. Yep, this is big-mountain territory. First up: Rifugio Tissi, a panoramic “balcony” with front-row views of Civetta. Grab a drink, steal some sunshine, and get your camera rolling. Then we’ll keep moving towards Rifugio Vazzoler, covering around 10 km with about 400 metres of uphill. We’ll roll in just in time for Enrosadira (AKA that unforgettable, fiery sunset glow on the Dolomite cliffs). And… you guessed it: there’s an optional short detour to sprawl out on the Pelsa meadows.

- Breakfast
Accommodations: Rifugio Vazzoler (or similar) -
Day
5Rifugio Vazzoler to Rifugio Carestiato
Feeling well rested? Good. Today, we’ll set off from Rifugio Vazzoler and head into the southern stretch of the Alta Via. This is where it’ll start feeling wilder, quieter, and properly remote as we cross valleys beneath the Moiazza. Clocking around 10km today with roughly 600m of climbing, we’ll reach Rifugio Carestiato, perched on a rocky spur with big views over the Agordo Valley. Bonus track: if you’re keen, we’ll push on to Framont — a short, punchy summit detour with wide-open panoramas.

- Breakfast
Accommodations: Rifugio Carestiato (or similar) -
Day
6Rifugio Carestiato to Rifugio Pramperet
This morning, we’ll leave Rifugio Carestiato behind and step into Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park. It's the only national park in the Dolomites (and a seriously special one for untouched landscapes). Depending on the season, we’ll pass through clearings and trails dotted with wildflowers as we go. Clocking around 10km today with roughly 600m of climbing, we’ll reach Rifugio Carestiato, perched on a rocky spur with big views over the Agordo Valley. Bonus track: if you’re keen, we’ll push on to Framont — a short, punchy summit detour with wide-open panoramas.

7Rifugio Pramperet to Belluno via Forno di Zoldo
Okay. Final stage. Ready? We’ll hike a long downhill through forests and alpine meadows, soaking up the last of the scenery as we go. We’ll drop about 1,000 metres overall (your legs will love this one). After around 10km on the trail, we’ll roll into Forno di Zoldo and celebrate properly with the town’s famous gelato. Hungry for more? You can take a quick detour to check out Lake Al Vach before we wrap. Aaaand, you did it! Our hike's officailly complete. We’ll hop on public transport back to Belluno, swap hiking boots for comfy shoes, and wind down at the end of our adventure.
