The extraordinary Dolomites

Millions of years ago coral reefs were forced through the tops of mountains

to create the breathtaking spires and cliffs that dominate the Dolomites

Mountains of northern Italy.

The spectacular natural beauty of the Dolomites provides the

perfect backdrop for an unforgettable skiing holiday. With a seemingly

endless network of ski lifts, finely groomed trails and charming villages,

the Dolomites Mountains are an eye-opener for visitors.

The Italian approach to skiing is a relaxed and friendly one. Skiing is

only part of the Dolomites experience food, wine, lunch and friends are

equally important.

With over 30 years of guiding skiers throughout this breathtaking

region, we have the knowledge and experience to make your visit

memorable and enjoyable.

World-class facilitiesold-world charmThe Dolomites is the largest interconnected ski region in the world.

Nowhere else will you find 450 lifts, including fast and modern

gondolas, cablecars and high-speed chairs, all on a single andaffordable lift pass. The ski lifts are spread over 12 valleys and 45

ski resorts!Over 1,200km of marked runs, as well as countless off-piste

options, make this a skiers paradise.

Despite the abundance of state-of-the-art infrastructure, the regions

charming, small-village ambience and age-old traditions remain.

Nestled in the valleys and towns, centuries-old buildings surround

village squares (piazzas). Skiers and locals wander cobblestoned

streets amid beautifully styled shops and culinary delights.

Let us take care of youFrom our base in the classic village of Campitello we explore new

mountains and ski areas every day, and you also have ready access toneighbouring villages and facilities.

the weather, be it the 12km glacier run of The Marmolada, the

sanctuary of Vigos tree-lined slopes or the screaming descents at

4575km in a day without needing to catch the same lift twice!

DOLOMITES SKI SAFARIS2 DAYS, 1 NIGHT WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY

Dolomites Ski Safaris offer a unique skiing

experience. The overnight tour takes in

some of the most spectacular scenery

and skiing in The Dolomites and we

know all the great places to visit.

From Campitello we ski towards Cortina and

the high-altitude mountain rifugio (lodge) at

Lagazuoi (2,752m), a trip of about 50km! From

here we can ski the Col Gallina and Cinque

Torri (Five Towers) ski areas above Cortina, with

uncrowded runs and wonderful scenery.

At the end of the day we relax over drinks

and watch the sun set over the majestic

Dolomites from our accommodation at Rifugio

Lagazuoi, arguably the most spectacular view

in the Dolomites. Later we enjoy a hearty,

three-course meal and some of the local wines.

After breakfast the next morning, we are the

first to ski the 12km down the Lagazuoi Valley,past frozen waterfalls. We then take a horse-

drawn rope tow across the valley.

From here we explore the expansive skiing

around Alta Badia, including the leg-testing

World Cup GS Course at La Villa.

By days end we return to Campitello via

a different route, either through Val Gardena

or Arabba, depending on the best skiing

conditions.

who skis comfortably on most runs.

ABOUT OUR SKI HOSTSDolomites Ski Tours has long appreciated the

benefits of its knowledgeable and fun-loving

ski hosts. We understand that a good ski guide can

make or break a holiday in a region as vast as the

Dolomites. After all, its the guides job to ensure

you have a great time in this stunning and unique

destination.

Australian Mario Longhitano is the manager

and head guide. Having been there since the ski

companys inception over 30 years ago, Mario has

never missed a season. What he doesnt know

about the mountains, resorts and restaurants is

probably unknown to most!

Other guides include Rocket Stevenson, Anthony

Elias, Graham Eddie, Glen Matthews, Dave Auert,

Phil Doyle, James Price and Martin & Helen

Longhitano, some of whom are long-serving

Dolomites guides with many years of experience.

Their experience and knowledge goes way beyond

the mountains to encompass most aspects of

village life and culture. Using our versatile guides

we are able to cater for different skiing abilities so

that everyone gets the most from their holiday.
