Where You'll Stay
Nights are spent in carefully selected three and four-star hotels, each offering a comfortable and welcoming base after a day in the mountains. All rooms are well-appointed, and the warm local hospitality reflects the distinct character of each region you pass through, from the Austrian Alps to the Italian Dolomites.
What You'll Eat
Seven breakfasts are included throughout the walk. Lunches are purchased at mountain rifugi along the way, an authentic part of the alpine experience well worth embracing. Dinners are not included and can be taken at your accommodation or at local restaurants in town.
