DOLCE TEMPO (Scenic) Dolomites Ski Safari

SOLD OUT FOR 2025 - Enquiries for 2026 only

A Relaxed Ski Journey Through the Dolomites on Groomed Ski Slopes 

Using only groomed ski slopes you travel from high-mountain rifugio-to-rifugio through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world - the Dolomites and experience the best on-piste skiing that the Dolomites has to offer at a relaxed pace.

Enjoy six ski days where each morning begins on a newly prepared groomed ski slope and no one else on the mountain. Each and every morning your host will say, "the mountain is yours". This is a unique Dolomites skiing experience, travelling through miles of UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE scenery and staying in a different high-mountain refuge each evening.

Itinerary

Be shown the best snow & ski trails, stunning mountain vistas, enjoy local cuisine and some lesser known, quieter ski slopes. Ski the resorts of Alta Badia, Civetta, the remote fringes of Cortina, 3 ski areas in the Val di Fassa, San Pellegrino & Val Gardena.

This seven night ‘soft adventure’ ski tour is fully hosted & guided with your own ski leader. You never have to puzzle over your trail map or think about where you're going. Just enjoy the slopes as they keep on coming ... and there are lots of them, but not too many to interfere with long lunches & delicious coffee breaks! For more info on the day to day program, see the Itinerary tab.

Accommodation & Food

The Dolce Tempo Ski Safari stays 3 nights in a high quality Val Gardena hotel, and 4 glorious nights high on the mountain in 3 different rifugi, where you will receive the warmest greeting from your hosts. All breakfast on the tour are included, plus 4 dinners whilst staying in the rifugi. Lunch options will include various mountain restaurants along the way, but are not included in the tour price. For more information on accommodation during the tour, see the Lodging tab.

Small Groups

The Dolce Tempo (Scenic) Dolomites Ski Safari is restricted to a maximum of seven per group, plus your ski leader.

Ski Ability

This ski safari is suitable for fit, intermediate skiers that want a more relaxed ski holiday. All guests will be 'qualified' before booking to ensure that the group is of the necessary fitness & ski ability.

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 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

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). Either way transfers can be arranged, or just get to either Innsbruck or Verona 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.
