Plan Your DreamDolomites Journey

Why Visit?

Stunning alpine landscapes, dramatic peaks, and charming Tyrolean villages make the Dolomites a paradise for hiking, skiing, and experiencing authentic mountain culture with gourmet cuisine.

Best Time to Visit

Visit June to September for vibrant wildflower hikes and clear views, or December to March for world-class skiing and festive alpine ambiance.

Getting There & Around

Arrive via Venice or Innsbruck airports; drive or take trains to Bolzano or Brunico. A private transfer offers the most scenic and flexible way into the mountains to stop and enjoy the towns and sites en route.

Accessibility

Mountain terrain, steep paths, and cobbled streets in villages can be challenging. Some resorts and cable cars are wheelchair-accessible, but hiking areas are mostly not accessibility-friendly. We work closely with our local team to assist with accessibility needs – contact us to discuss how we can support your journey.

Tip: Choose well-equipped spa hotels in flatter towns like Ortisei or San Candido with lift access and scenic drives instead of walking trails.

Booking Considerations

Book alpine hotels, ski lodges, and summer mountain stays 6–9 months ahead, especially for peak seasons like July–August and Christmas. Booking of cable car tickets, and guided hikes or ski lessons in advance is vital.

    Traveller Stories & Trusted Reviews

    A family trip to Italy has been at the top of our wishlist. Ormina Tours made our wish come true! We recently spent 12 days traveling from Venice, to Florence, through Tuscany, to Sorrento, finishing in Rome. The private tours in each city were lead by experienced guides. The experiences booked for us were the perfect amount of time allotted with 2 teenagers in tow and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own as well. The hotel accommodations in each city were above expectations as well as the private transfers to each destination. There was never a moment of stress or frustration on this trip. Every guide, driver, ticket and booking came through without any issue. Our first trip to Europe as a family was a huge success because of the care and consideration of Ormina Tours. We can’t wait to book our next adventure with Ormina!

    Lisa P.Italy

    Our Italian food experience with Ormina Tours was top value.
    From start to finish we could fault nothing. It exceeded our expectations and we look foward to another Ormina Tour in the future.

    MajorItaly

    In April and May 2024 we did Ormina's 'Enchanting Puglia' and 'Sicily Bella' tours. Both were amazing small group tours with 8 people on each tour. We had fantastic local guides, great drivers and comfortable Mercedes vans. Accommodation was first class and the itineraries fascinating. We highly recommend both tours for anyone wanting to be fully immersed in the culture, history, architecture and food of Southern Italy.

    Greg VPuglia, Italy

    Ormina tours were exceptional for our group tour to puglia drivers were punctual guides spoke perfect english with exceptional knowledge and hotels were amazing highly recommend ormina tours.

    Colin G.Naples, Italy

    I won a half day tour from Naples to a winery for a tour and lunch, including being picked up and dropped off. The tour was seamless, from the wonderful driver who whisked us up to winery. We were given a private tour in English and the Michelin star meal was sublime.

    I would take an Ormina tour again in a heartbeat, and wholeheartedly recommend them to others. Quality, attention to detail and personal service is a given with Ormina. Thank you!

    Christina ConteAustralia

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience travelling through Puglia in a small guided tour group in September 2022. The tour guides were excellent as was the accommodation. We will certainly travel with Ormina again.

    Michael MaxwellPuglia, Italy

    I have used Ormina Tours on couple of occasions already and currently have a new reservation in place. All the clients have been extremely happy with their arrangements and all have commented that they would travel with Ormina again. It worked well on their guided tour as well as organising independent arrangements. Highly recommended.

    Vanesa T

    I have booked valued clients with Ormina Tours and as a travel agent I find my dealings with them exceptional, no request seems to be out of their reach. The feedback from my clients is always highly complimentary which is why I continue to book with Ormina.
