Today you head up to one of the key strategic passes from WW1 – the Passo Valparola for fabulous views over the San Cassiano valley. Heading through the delightful Pre de Costa meadows, and past the Malghe Valparola, you head up towards the pass. When you get there, you may want to stop for refreshments at the rifugio at the top. You can make this a history trip and continue on to the nearby WW1 museum or even to Passo Falzarego and a cable car up to the top of Lagazuoi – one of the most fiercely fought over mountains in the Dolomites. Another alternative is a tough 13km walk across towards the Setsas mountain with more fabulous views and back to the hotel. *Staying at Ciasa Salares.* Optional longer walks available.

The verdant plateau beyond (Plan de Ciaulunch) and the climb up to the Forcela dl Lech provide awe-inspiring views of the surrounding mountains and a sparkling, aquamarine mountain lake. You need a head for heights on this one as you descend via two steep gorges, with well trodden paths, to the Scotoni mountain hut and down a spectacular ski slope to the start point.* Staying at Ciasa Salares.* Optional shorter walk: 4.5 hrs, distance 10km/6mi

This is a centre-based independent walking holiday. Walks can easily be
extended/shortened by using the complimentary 7- day Mobil Card which gives
unlimited access to local buses and selected cable cars and chairlifts. The
walking is along varied and well signed footpaths, both at high altitude and
in the lower valleys. There are moderate ascents on most days, and longish
descents on days when a cable car is used to gain altitude. Walkers should
have a good fitness level and be confident on uneven terrain. This trip is
unsuitable for severe vertigo sufferers, but will appeal to people wanting
challenging high level mountain walking by day, and luxury 4-star hotel
accommodation at night.
As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. There may
be others on the same departure date as you, but you will not be organised
together. You are provided with route notes for each day, which begin with an
overview of the walk and advice on lunch, followed by detailed instructions.
The route notes contain a 24 hour emergency assistance telephone number
should you need it and in emergencies, the hotelier is normally able to
dispatch a taxi or pick you up themselves. They may wish to charge for this
service.

hotel’s fantastic wine cellar, the hotel combines alpine chic in the décor
with good old-fashioned hospitality.
The hotel's four restaurants include an informal wine bar, a terrace
restaurant, a main restaurant and tables in the wine cellar. There are also
two other very special rooms – the Cheese Room and the Chocolate Room, used
for tastings, individual courses during meals and special occasions.
Complimentary grappa tasting is available once a week, as well as one glass
of wine and cheese tasting in the wine cellar. You will also get 5 half board
meals included at the half board restuarant. Customers wishing to eat at one
of the other three restaurants at the hotel can use their 'credit' from the
half board menu and pay any difference locally. Drinks are always excluded.
Other facilities include a library and lounge, a luxurious spa with indoor
swimming pool, relaxation area, treatment rooms (3), sauna, steam room and an
outdoor hot tub with fabulous alpine views to soak away those aching limbs
after a day of walking. Headwater customers get free spa access (spa
treatments available for a supplement.)
The hotel offers a free shuttle service to San Cassiano (village and the main
Piz Surega lift) as well as to the Capanna Alpina restaurant for the Fanes
Natural Park walk. One picnic lunch is included at the hotel’s private
mountain hut (day of the week changes depending on the weather). This
mountain hut can be reached on foot (1hr 30mins from the hotel) on Day 4
walking or by gondola (about 20mins.)

locally.)

who will be on hand to assist you and highlight particular places of
interest.

The tour itself normally begins at our hotel in Armentarola, San Cassiano, in

We can also book flights for you if you wish. The standard flights we usually
use are with British Airways from London Heathrow to Venice Marco Polo, but
occasionally we may use flights from Gatwick instead. Please enquire for
up-to-date flight details as availability and schedules may change throughout
the season.
The Dolomite Mountains offer some of the best weather in all of the Alps –
perfect for year-round active adventures. As a mountain range, the Dolomites
receive less precipitation on an annual basis than do the majority of the
Alps. During the summer temperatures vary between 20°C - 22°C, while
temperature starts dropping a bit in September. Equally, at all times you
need to be ready for the occasional stormy day.
