Individual arrival in Sappada. Those arriving by train will be picked up by us at Innichen/San Candido train station at approximately 5:00 PM.

We begin our first guided hike in the Dolomites from our hotel, following the Piave River to Cima Sappada. From there, we hike upstream along the Piave to the Rifugio Piano del Cristo and on to the Baita Rododendro, where we'll have lunch. Always on a pleasant hiking trail, we return to the smallest part of Sappada, the hamlet of Puiche. Here, we have a wonderful view of Sappada and the surrounding mountains. We will be met by Luigi Kratter, who will lead us on a walk through the old village of Plodn (Sappada), sharing the history of the area.

Our hike begins right at the hotel again today. We walk to the nearby Piave River. Passing the golf course, we continue to the Rio Storto (Krumpbach), which we follow for a while. We then continue along the Rio Enge until, at an altitude of 1434 meters, we turn towards Passo Elbel. We won't go all the way to the top, however. Our destination is a picturesque waterfall. Our hike takes us through the Bosco della Digola, a forest with particularly valuable conifers and abundant wildlife. Afterwards, we head back towards Sappada. Passing the trout pond, we reach our hotel again via the hamlets of Granvilla and Bach.

Today we start at the hotel and hike first to the now familiar hamlet of Cima Sappada. From there, we continue towards Malga (alpine pasture) Tuglia. The ascent begins gently along a forest road before the path narrows into a trail. Following a small stream, we hike through a beautiful, shady, fairytale forest. After about an hour and a half, we reach the expansive alpine pasture of Malga Tuglia, which invites us to a delightful break: We fortify ourselves with typical Friulian specialties such as fresh cheese, polenta, or frico. As a reward, an impressive panorama of the surrounding mountains unfolds before us, with peaks such as Monte Peralba, Monte Siera, and Monte Tuglia.

Today we're taking a break from hiking. Relax, explore the local sights by bike, enjoy a spa day, or go for a short hike on your own. Our hiking guide will be happy to give you personalized tips.

Today we're heading into the high mountains – we'll take a bus for about 20 minutes to the Piave springs (1,830 m), from where we'll begin our mountain tour at the foot of Monte Peralba (2,694 m), the second highest mountain in the Carnic Alps. First, we'll hike to the Calvi Hut, where we can have a bite to eat, then on to the Passo Sesis and finally to the Passo dell'Oregone, also known as the Hochalp Pass, right on the Austrian border. It's an area where traces of the First World War can be found in many places.

The highlight of our hiking trip: We visit the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks). From the Auronzo Hut (2,320 m), we hike to the Lavaredo Hut and from there climb Lavaredo (2,450 m). Here we enjoy a fantastic view of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Sexten Dolomites. We continue on to the Locatelli Hut. On the way back, we pass three beautiful little mountain lakes where the surrounding peaks are reflected. It's become common knowledge that the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks) are something truly special. To cope with the increasing number of visitors to and around the Tre Cime, we sometimes have to improvise to find a less frequented route. This might change the hike slightly and make it a bit longer, but it's well worth it!

It's time to say goodbye. We'd be happy to offer you the opportunity to extend your stay in the region. The beautiful Friuli region and the lagoon city of Venice are not far away. Regarding travel dates
