Italian Alps & Dolomites
13 – 19 June
A 6 night 7‑Day Alpine Escape in the Heart of Northern Italy
Have you always dreamt of walking in the Italian Alps and Dolomites but feared the trails would be too demanding? This is the trip for you.
Join Linda Kriel, in collaboration with Walkabout Italy, on a breathtaking Italian Alps & Dolomites walking tour that will stay with you forever. Dr Gianni, the expert guide and organiser behind Walkabout Italy crafted an itinerary that offers the beauty of the Alps without strenuous climbs or dizzying heights. Instead, you’ll enjoy gentle hikes, delicious food, and authentic encounters with mountain life.
Two nights in the charming town of Bressanone set the stage, followed by four nights in the alpine gem of Campo Tures. We’ll walk through vineyards and apple orchards, visit an ancient abbey, learn the secrets of essential oils, and step inside a centuries-old copper mine. And of course – the highlight – our hike around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the most iconic peaks of the Dolomite, timed to avoid the crowds.
This is the Alps and Dolomites at their most authentic—welcoming, delicious, and breathtaking.

Where We Stay
On this walk we stay in two beautiful, family‑run alpine hotels. Each has its own charm and character, and both perfectly located for our daily walks.
Gasser Hotel – Bressanone
A welcoming riverside hotel just minutes from the old town. Expect peaceful views, comfortable rooms, and that warm South Tyrolean hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of gentle mountain walking.
Drumlerhof Hotel – Campo Tures
An elegant alpine residence with a deep connection to local craftsmanship. Every room is clad in natural wood, creating a warm, cocoon‑like atmosphere. The air carries a soft fragrance of mountain pine fresh, calming, and wonderfully soothing, like stepping into a quiet forest. It’s a truly special place to relax and recharge.
Both hotels offer delicious regional food, friendly service, and the kind of comfort that makes this walk feel like a real holiday.
Key Airports
The closest major airports to Bressanone – where our walk starts and ends – are Bolzano (the nearest), Innsbruck, Verona, and Bergamo. Venice is also an option for those combining the trip with extra travel.
