Itinerary for Dolomites Gold Highlights Ski Safari

6-Ski Days. 5-Star Taste. World-Class Terrain

There is something magical about staying on the mountain. As the other skiers drop back into their valleys and return to their hotels, you can pull up a chair, order a drink & allow the mountain tranquillity to wash over you. Watch the sun slide behind the mountain opposite, because, more than likely, you'll be skiing it tomorrow!

DAY 1: Arrival & Welcome

Private Taxi Transfer from Innsbruck or Verona to the Val Gardena where your first stop is Carlos Ski Rental for your Ski Equipment and then on to your base hotel.
18:00 Welcome drinks and briefing with your ski leader.
19:30 Dinner

DAY 2: Alpe di Siusi - Val Gardena - Alta Badia

HIGHLIGHTS: ★Val Gardena Ski Resort ★Ski under the Sassolungo ★Beautiful skiing in magical surrounds

DAY 3: Sella Ronda - Orange [Clockwise]

H8:30 - You're Off! An early start to take on the 44km of the world's greatest ski circuit, the Sella Ronda Orange. There's a lot of debate about whether the green or orange direction is better, but for us the longer runs and opportunities for small diversions along the Orange route make it a far more interesting itinerary. Start and finish the day at the same rifugio for a relaxing evening on the mountain.

HIGHLIGHTS: ★Sella Ronda Orange ★Sella Massif scenery
ACCOMMODATION: Rifugio Passo Incisa, Alta Badia

DAY 4: The Hidden Valley

8:30 - You're Off - AGAIN! An early start to the fringes of Cortina and up the spectacular Lagazuoi to take on the famous Hidden Valley and the icon horse tow. Then the group heads off to the Val di Fassa and along the way you'll experience some stunning views and highlights.

HIGHLIGHTS: ★Curves & Corners ★Pistes = Thöni, Thomba, Vulcano, Ciampac
ACCOMMODATION: Chalet Cima Uomo - Your Slopeside Hideaway at Passo San Pellegrino

DAY 6: A Fizzy Day - San Pellegrino!

08:15 - At Passo San Pellegrino, the adventure peaks literally at 2,513metres, with panoramic descents like Col Margherita and heart-pounding runs like La VolatA. You trail to trail, from crisp sunrise slopes to cozy mountain rifugi serving pasta and prosecco. There’s no rush - just you, the snow, and the thrill of moving freely across 68 km of open pistes. Each day is a journey, each run a memory in motion. This isn’t just skiing - it’s Dolomites magic.

Afterwards, ski back toward Val Gardena for the final night on the tour.

Accommodation & Meals

The Dolomites Gold Highlights Ski Safari starts with I nights in the boutique Mea Via Slow Farm Hotel, then 5 nights in various mountain rifugi, before finishing with a final night back to the Mea Vial.

Mea Via Slow Farm Hotel

During your Ski Safari you will spend 2 nights (1 night at the start & 1 night at the end of the tour) in the beautifully appointed Mea Via Slow Farm Hotel, located in the mountain village of Bulla above Val Gardena. Rooms will be on a double or twin share basis & an amazing locally breakfast and dinner is included. Perched above Ortisei in Val Gardena, the hamlet of Bulla (Pufels) is a quiet alpine village at 1,500 m, known for its rich geology and cultural heritage. Overlooking the village is Mount Bullaccia and its famous Witches’ Benches. A short walk away, you’ll also find three historic grain mills- Droch, Zaramin, and Rumanon - one of which has been restored, preserving a piece of Bulla’s past.

Mountain Rifugi

During the middle of the ski safari you will experience the ultimate Dolomites lodging experience spending 5 consecutive nights in different alpine rifugi. The rifugi include two nights at Rifugio Passo Incisa in Alta Badia; and single nights in Rifugio Baita Cuz (Val di Fassa), Chalet Cima Uomo (San Pellegrino), Albergo & Ristorante Baita Dovich (base of Marmolada).

Note that whilst most couples will get their own private rooms with en suite, it is impossible to guarantee this. It is most likely that you will, at some point, have to share with other members of your group, but that is part of the rifugio experience!

All rifugi on this tour include breakfast & dinner, plus full bars with local aperitifs, beer, wine & grappa. Stunning sunrises & sunsets are complimentary!
