Classic Italian Dolomites
The tour starts in Ortisei, Val Gardena, in the UNESCO Dolomites World Heritage Area where there’s great running in every direction. We’ll explore the Gardena and Funes valleys in the western Dolomites, carrying light trail running vests, while our bags are transported between villages. One night in a high mountain lodge will require a slightly larger pack for your overnight essentials.
Each day begins with a buffet breakfast featuring fresh bread, pastries, local meats, cheeses, eggs, juice and coffee. Then we hit the trails, running through pastures beneath the towering Dolomites.
On our first day, we’ll warm-up with a funicular ride and flowy alpine trails. Most of the days will offer a choice of distances, and we also have two optional rest days. On a typical day, we’ll finish by 4 pm, giving time to relax and enjoy the views before a delicious multi-course dinner of local specialties.
