This trip is for you if: This trip is for you if you’re an on-the-go traveler – you don’t want to miss a thing, walking and standing for 2-3 hours isn’t a big deal and you’re able to walk at a moderate pace, covering several miles, hills and uneven surfaces. Walking four miles throughout the day is very doable and you can easily climb stairs. You can navigate hills and uneven/wet ground independently, climb up and into various modes of transportation including trains and gondolas and could handle changes in elevation as high as 9,500 feet. You can expect several early mornings and some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. You must be in good health and prepare properly. This trip is not a fit for those who require assistance with walking or who travel on mobility devices. As this is a group tour, individual accommodations cannot be made for those who are not able to keep up with the group. This tour makes use of trains and cable cars on certain days and travelers must be able to climb on/off and maneuver through crowded stations and platforms. This tour features 3 ascents above 9500 feet (2900 meters) which are not suitable in case of certain heart conditions. We recommend you consult your physician before booking. If you require any special assistance while on tour, please make us aware at time of reservation so the necessary request form can be sent to your attention. The weather in the Dolomites is unpredictable and prone to strong winds, sudden fogs, low clouds, and downpours. The average temperature ranges from 41 Fahrenheit (5 Celsius) in spring and to 65 Fahrenheit (18 Celsius) in summer. Temperatures can drop suddenly to below freezing. For your comfort, we recommend packing a warm fleece, scarf, hat, and gloves.
*In addition to the high altitude, the Aiguille du Midi at Mount Blanc requires the ability to negotiate 200 steps up/down at an altitude of over 12,600 feet (3842 meters) above sea level where oxygen levels are scarce (an alternate tour option is available). On this tour there are three days which include long travel with 5+ hours of actual drive time.

Group meals are pre-arranged menus – sometimes there will be menu choices and other times it will be a set menu.
