Dolomites Via Bellissima, South Tyrol
The dream route through the Dolomites with Florian Harrasser
Schedule overview:
25.-28.06.26, 17.-20.09.26
If you have a special Crossing the Dolomites you will be spoiled for choice from a huge range of tours and hikes. We asked someone who knows the South Tyrolean mountains like the back of his hand: Florian Harrasser. Born in Bruneck, he is a passionate mountain hiking guide and long-time rope partner of alpine pro Simon Gietl.
The crossing that Florian has put together exclusively for VIVALPIN is truly unique. This Dolomites hike you won't find in any conventional hiking guide.
The highlight: the tour combines the most iconic photo motifs in South Tyrol - from the deep blue Lake Braies up to the majestic Three peaks - on wonderful, moderate hiking trails.
Hiking in the Dolomites with comfort
Alpine adventure meets exclusive enjoyment on the „Via Bellissima“. As the overall experience is what counts, you will not spend the night in simple camps on this route, but in selected hotels. It is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to experience the most beautiful spots in the Dolomites without having to forego first-class bases and South Tyrolean hospitality.

Note on program changes:
All courses and guided tours are conscientiously organized and carried out in accordance with the safety standards of the Vivalpin Mountain and Ski School with qualified specialists (e.g. mountain and ski guides, mountain hiking guides, etc.). The provisional tour program may be adjusted for safety-related reasons, such as bad weather, dangerous conditions, unforeseen natural events or inadequate conditions of the participants. The final program will be decided by the guide on site.
The Via Bellissima is considered technically easy, which means that it leads over easy and medium difficult (red) mountain trails. You need Condition for up to 1,000 Hm in the ascent or up to 6.5 h hiking with approx. 8 kg luggage. Good preparation for multi-day hikes is half the battle. Get used to your equipment - especially your footwear and carrying a rucksack. The best way to practice this is on hikes with a comparable altitude difference. For your targeted preparation, we recommend our Intensive training in surefootedness and head for heights.
You can find information on estimating altitude meters and difficulty information here. If in doubt, please call our office or send us an e-mail.
"The Via Bellissima leads through the middle of my home mountains and connects some of the most beautiful places in the Dolomites. The route is not too demanding, so you can enjoy every stage to the full. You will be thrilled!"
