About

The Dolomites are my place of birth and the backyard for so many years. My memories as a young boy are filled with day trips in the  mountains surrounding Belluno and further north towards Cortina d”Ampezzo, Agordo, Zoldo and Auronzo. My uncle and grandfather taught me the silent language of the mountains, where words cannot convey the beauty of the alpine valleys and meadows, the majesty of the surrounding peaks.

Over time my passion has taken me regularly hiking in the Dolomites and for the past six years in leading the Walk the Dolomites hiking tours.

I hold an ESA (Suisse) hiking  guide certification. For more information contact me at franco@walkthedolomites.com

Why here

Book a mountain walking holiday with us and you'll discover the Dolomites are more than meets the eye. Beyond the sweeping panoramas, a deep, yet subtle story is constantly unfolding. This is the story of a landscape-in-formation; of majestic peaks, but also bucolic alpine and sub-alpine pastures, and bustling alpine towns. >>
