Scroll through our signature accommodations for this trip below. Although it is highly unlikely, we may make substitutions when necessary.
Our accommodations are in comfortable, small hotels with private bathrooms. They have been chosen as much as possible for their ambience and history and are delightful for the local color and dining that they offer. These rustic and well-located hotels are clean and comfortable, but since they are often in historic buildings, the rooms are not always of uniform or international size. Our leaders do their best to assign rooms in a fair way so that all participants experience an equal advantage throughout the trip as a whole.
Single rooms are offered when possible, but those who pay the Single Supplement may have to share a room for one night at Rifugio Lagazuoi. On this night, we stay in semi-private or dorm-style rooms with shared bathrooms and shower facilities. The bedding at the lodge is very clean, consisting of a down comforter, a bottom sheet, and a pillow. There is no vehicle access to this alpine lodge; your overnight items and a change of clothes will be transported to the lodge, while your main luggage will be stored at our hotel in Cortina for the night. A small bag will be provided for you to transport your overnight belongings if your own bag is too large. You'll carry your daypack with you on the trail as usual.
