Adventure In The Dolomites
21st June- 1st July 2026 (11 days, 10 nights)
The Dolomites are a range of mountains and dramatic rock escarpments in the north-east of Italy, nestled near the border with Austria. The area is renowned for dramatic rock formations protruding from the ground and towering above.
This is an epic playground for all sorts of activities, not least touring. There are countless mountain passes that more than equal Switzerland's offerings.
We will take three days to get there, taking in points of interest on route including fairy-tale castles, the Black Forest and the famous Timmelsjoch Pass between Austria and Italy. We will stay four nights right in the heart of the Dolomites, perfectly placed to explore this fantastic area with a variety of circular driving tours. The hotel sits in a small village near the awesome Giau Pass and features a spa and pool. Half board is available there at additional cost.
The journey home will take us over the Stelvio Pass into Switzerland, where we will spend a day traversing some excellent roads back into France.
This is one tour not to be missed!
