Our friend Suma recounts her recent multi-day hike through the Dolomites, which were so breathtakingly beautiful, “it almost seemed like they were in a movie”.
She and her friends started in Innsbruck, Austria which was a good route to drive to prepare them for the stunning geography they would see for the rest of the trip. This episode delves into the logistics of the trip, including the benefits of using a company to book accommodations and transfers.
We also discuss the hiking experience itself, the fitness level required and the surprising lack of crowds even during the busy Italian tourist month of September. Suma also shares her insights into the Ladin culture of the region, the warm hospitality of the locals, and the hearty mountain cuisine that fueled their journey.
She convinced us to go next September, so you might feel the same!
