Thanks for helping me extend my hiking career for another great set of hikes. I enjoyed it all greatly. - B.F. - Florida
We recommend flying in and out of the Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) for this tour.
From the Hilton Garden Inn in Mestre, conveniently located between the Marco Polo Airport and Venice, a 10 AM shuttle will transport the group to the alpine resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo.
We recommend arriving at least 1-2 days prior to the tour's start. While there are many beautiful accommodation options in Venice for pre-tour stays, the Hilton Garden Inn in Mestre is a convenient choice, offering an airport shuttle and being just a 10-minute bus ride from Venice. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our office staff for any pre-tour recommendations.
If you’d like to explore Venice before the tour, we recommend booking our Venice Getaway—a perfect way to add a little extra adventure to your trip before your trek begins.
The evening before your departure, we will arrange for a private shuttle to take you to a Venice airport hotel. If you wish to extend your stay in Venice, please contact our office and we would be happy to help make arrangements.
Our Alps experts are happy to assist with recommendations for your pre- and post-tour travel arrangements. Simply call or email us your plans and we are happy to help make the best of your vacation experience.
You will stay in carefully chosen inns and small 3- and 4-star hotels that capture the authentic charm of the Italian Dolomites.
The hallmark of an Alpenwild trip is our exceptional dining, including buffet breakfasts, snacks/lunches, and many dinner options. Alcoholic beverages, specialty drinks, and related gratuities are not included.
