Walk into Luxury has launched new 2026 Dolomites Journeys, including a new collection of private guided walking journeys designed to showcase the region’s most iconic landscapes while delivering a refined alternative to traditional hut-to-hut hiking.
Each itinerary combines expertly curated day hikes with hand-selected luxury hotels, wellness-led properties and elevated mountain rifugi, allowing guests to experience the Dolomites in comfort, privacy and style.
“The Dolomites offer some of the most rewarding walking terrain in Europe, but traditionally the experience has been either very rustic or very rigid,” Walk into Luxury founder and CEO Nikki King said.
“These journeys are about slowing down, walking well, and returning each day to exceptional comfort – redefining what luxury hiking in the Dolomites can look like.”
The Dolomites collection
- 7-Day Dolomites Luxury Walk: The collection’s most ultra-luxury offering, this journey is centred around stays at two of the region’s most exceptional mountain retreats, Forestis and Aman Rosa Alpina, with private guided walks tailored to guests’ pace and interests. From Forestis, explore panoramic routes including the Dolomites Panorama Trail and the Adolf Munkel Trail beneath the dramatic Puez-Odle peaks. The journey then continues to San Cassiano in the Badia Valley, where guided walks across the Pralongià Plateau and the landscapes surrounding Mt Lagazuoi reveal classic Dolomite scenery, balanced with ample time to enjoy Aman’s renowned wellness facilities, dining and sense of calm.
- 8-Day Alta Via 1 Luxury Hike, Dolomites: A refined interpretation of the Dolomites’ legendary Alta Via 1 ‘high route’, this 8-day guided journey covers approximately five days on trail from the emerald shores of Lago di Braies to Cortina d’Ampezzo. Highlights include walking through the protected landscapes of Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, the Fanes Valley, Mt Lagazuoi, Cinque Torri and Croda da Lago, with two nights in traditional mountain rifugi featuring private ensuite rooms, a rare upgrade from the shared accommodation typical of the route. A bonus day hike to Tre Cime di Lavaredo is also included, offering one of the most iconic alpine walks in Europe.
- 12-Day Best of the Dolomites: The most comprehensive journey in the collection, this 12-day luxury walking experience combines classic sections of the Alta Via 1 with additional hikes across the Gardena Valley and surrounding UNESCO-listed landscapes. Guests walk to iconic locations including Lago di Braies, Cinque Torri, Croda da Lago, Seceda and the wide-open meadows of Alpe di Siusi, Europe’s highest alpine meadow, as well as a spectacular hike to Rifugio Puez incorporating part of the Alta Via 2. With overnight stays in both traditional rifugi and luxury alpine hotels, the journey offers a complete immersion in the region’s most celebrated terrain.
- 8-Day Brenta Dolomites & Lake Garda Luxury Hike: Combining the dramatic limestone towers of the Brenta Dolomites with the Mediterranean atmosphere of Lake Garda, this journey features a series of iconic day hikes paired with luxury accommodation and seamless private transfers. In the Brenta range, highlights include the Five Lakes Hike above Madonna di Campiglio and the spectacular Grosté-Tuckett traverse ending at the Vallesinella waterfalls. The journey then continues to Lake Garda, where panoramic walks to Punta Larici and Monte Altissimo deliver sweeping views across Italy’s largest lake, concluding with a private boat cruise to the village of Gargnano and restorative time at Lefay Resort & Spa Lago di Garda.
Walk into Luxury’s Dolomites journeys are private journeys with no set departure.
