We spend the first half of this guided hiking week deep in the Brenta Dolomites above Trento, working through high pastures, ridgelines, and up to a mountain hut tucked beneath sheer limestone walls. Then we cross south to Riva del Garda, where the terrain eases into olive groves and lakeside trails, and the week builds to Monte Altissimo di Nago. From its summit, Lago di Garda spreads out in full Mediterranean blue, Italy’s largest lake framed by a fjord-like sweep of hillsides and lakeside towns. Small group, expert local guide, 3-4 star hotels throughout.
Pine forests give way to open ridgelines. Ridgelines give way to summits. And summits in the Brenta Dolomites above Trento give way to views that feel almost architectural: grey limestone spires rising from alpine meadows like something designed, not formed. We spend the first half of this guided hiking week up here, climbing through some of Italy's most dramatic scenery with a local expert who knows every trail. Then we transfer to Riva del Garda, and Monte Altissimo di Nago changes everything. One summit, and the whole of Lago di Garda appears below: Italy's largest lake, impossibly blue, ringed by olive groves, warm in a way the Dolomites never quite manage. Small group of 8, comfy hotels with breakfast, and an expert guide, all included.

This is a Dolomites hiking holiday built for regular hikers with good fitness who are comfortable on mountain terrain. Expect to be on the trail for 4 to 6 hours per day, covering between 8.6 and 14 km (5.3 to 8.7 mi).
The most demanding day brings 750 m (2,461 ft) of elevation gain on Malga Mondent Alta, on Day 2, the first hiking day. Day 6 offers a welcome rest with a mostly flat lakeside walk around Lago di Ledro.
Trekking poles are recommended. Your guide will set a pace that works for the group and will have the final say on whether conditions are suitable to proceed on any given day.
