Dolomites Gold Highlights Ski Safari
Ski the Icons, Stay in Style
TOUR IS SOLD OUT FOR 2026 - ENQUIRIES FOR 2027 ONLY
This is a Dolomites Ski Safari for those who want the best of both worlds: iconic Dolomites skiing paired with handpicked high-end stays and refined mountain cuisine. With a medium pace and a focus on the greatest hits of the South & Central Dolomites, this tour blends adventure and indulgence like nothing else. Using only groomed ski slopes you travel from high-mountain rifugio-to-rifugio through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world - the Dolomiti.
Mornings begin before the crowds arrive, with untouched snow beneath your skis and silence all around. Each night, you’ll stay in a new mountain rifugio - warm, rustic, and filled with the flavours of South Tyrol. Designed for fit intermediate and advanced skiers, this small-group experience - max 6 guests - is both intimate and unforgettable. You won’t just ski through the Dolomites, you’ll ski into them, across hidden passes, sun-drenched ridgelines, and storybook valleys.

Small Groups
The Dolomites Gold Highlights Ski Safari is restricted to a maximum of six per group, plus your ski leader.
Ski Ability & Gear
This ski safari is suitable for fit, intermediate & advanced skiers that can ski at a medium pace all day. The term 'intermediate skier' is liberally banded about. Some overestimate, some underestimate. The tour operator has some clear, detailed descriptions of ski ability will be sent to you as all guests will be 'qualified' before booking to ensure that the group is of the necessary fitness & ski ability (they do their best to match groups with similar abilities). Together it can be ensured that your ski ability is what is needed for the itinerary of your choice. But remember, it is your fitness that is key and whilst the itinerary is flexible, put simply, the fitter you are, the more fun you will have.
On-piste trails are utilised throughout the tour. Off-piste skiing is possible along the way (as long as it doesn't slow the group down!), but it is at your own risk and will be without the ski leader.
Ski Equipment & Lift Passes
All mountain skis (Head Shape eV8 2026) and poles are included in the tour price. You will need to bring your own ski boots or organise to rent some for an extra fee. A price reduction is given for anyone that wishes to use their own skis & poles.
A full 6-day Dolomiti Superski lift pass is included in the tour. If you have an IKON Pass that is valid for skiing 6-days in the Dolomites, you will receive a price reduction on the overall tour tariff.
Getting There & Away
The tour starts with a pick-up from one of four locations; Innsbruck airport, Innsbruck Hbf (main train station), Verona airport, & Bolzano. To reach the start of the tour, Innsbruck (INN) is the best gateway airport. Yes, fly to Austria to ski Italy! If flights to Innsbruck are too awkward, then Verona (VRN) is the next best, but its flight schedule is even less than Innsbruck. Major international airports nearby are Munich (MUC) (just 2½hr train ride from Innsbruck) or Venice (VCE) and then train to Bolzano).
Either way, transfers can be arranged, or just get to either Innsbruck, Verona or Bolzano and get picked up by the included airport transfer. On the last day of the ski safari, after a great night’s sleep & breakfast, you will be driven to your preferred airport or other destination as negotiated with the tour operator.
