## [Hiking the Dolomites](/travel-talk/hiking-dolomites) March 22, 2024 by [Craig Travel](/user/50 "View user profile.") --- **President's Pick: Hiking the Dolomites & the Venetian Lagoon** [**September 21 - October 1, 2025**](https://www.craigtravel.com/journeys/hiking-dolomites-sep-21-2025) **\| Journey Leader: Romy Hahn** Calling all energetic hikers to don your hiking boots and get set for a magical journey as we hike through some of northern Italy’s most spectacular landscapes. Northern Italy and the stunning Dolomites have some of Europe’s most glorious scenery and one of the best ways to take it all in, is on foot. ![Dolomites Italy](/sites/default/files/lake-braies-fall-tour-dolomites.jpg)Dolomites Mountain Range   We’ll discover the culture, cuisine, the wine, and la dolce vita, “the sweet life” of this region. From our starting point in Venice, we’ll head towards the Italian Alps. Along the way, let’s stop at a rustic country home where the owner, a professional chef,  will treat us to a cooking class.   Another day sees us venturing deeper into the Dolomite Region ascending via cable car to a charming mountain cabin refuge surrounded by breathtaking vistas. Next, we shall find ourselves walking along a rocky ridgeline, through meadows, and ending in a local spot for a cool drink and hot meal. We’ll also wander through valleys embraced by towering mountains, following trails lined with pools, rapids, and cascading waterfalls. ![Scenic Dolomites](/sites/default/files/seceda-ridge-dolomites-fall-hiking-tour.jpeg)Enjoy incredible scenery   Following our descent from the majestic Alps, we arrive in Venice, one of Europe’s most romantic cities, where its most iconic landmarks…the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square with the Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Basilica, and the Bridge of Sighs await. We’ll visit the charming islands of Murano and Burano, enjoy famous cuisine and have time on our own to peruse the rabbit warren of narrow streets, shops, restaurants and cafes that surround this unique city.   We invite you to [**join us on this brand-new small group adventure**](https://www.craigtravel.com/journeys/hiking-dolomites-sep-21-2025), but recommend you book early.
