Wherever it says "WILD" on the label, it should be wild inside, too. That’s why, during these three days, we gladly do without all the usual "bells and whistles" and embrace the purity and beauty of wild life and nature. When the first rays of sunshine tickle us awake in our sleeping bags, when a steep ascent rewards us with sweeping views over remote valleys and dramatic sea of peaks, when we're left breathless while rappelling down towering rock faces, and when the day's adventures turn into stories shared in good company at night—that’s when we truly feel that purity and beauty.

 

And where better than the Dolomites to experience so much adventure, authenticity, and natural beauty in just three days?!
Because on this Wild Trail, adventure accompanies us day and night. By day, we hike and scramble, rappel down cliffs and into caves—some of them mysterious ice caves—and refresh ourselves in icy mountain lakes. At night, we sleep outdoors under the unfiltered starlit sky, as long as the weather gods allow. If it rains, the wooden hut floor offers a welcome alternative for our mats and sleeping bags.

 

We experience the authenticity of the Dolomites simply by hiking away from the tourist crowds, along remote trails and across trackless terrain. Our mountain guides not only know the most secluded routes—they even build temporary exclusive via ferratas just for our group, which are dismantled after we pass through.

 

True encounters with the people who live and work in these beautiful yet harsh Dolomite landscapes are also an essential part of this adventure. From shepherds who give us insight into their daily lives, to a generous mountain host who cooks exclusively for us—we meet personalities that only the mountains can shape.

 

Our Wild Trail "Dolomites – WILD.door" is especially for those mountaineers who like it short, intense, and exciting.
Participants should be able to move independently and confidently in unmarked terrain and have enough endurance for full-day hikes with up to 1000 meters of elevation gain per day. This tour is especially fun for those who love scrambling and even a bit of scree surfing. No actual climbing skills, independent rappelling, or via ferrata experience is necessary. It’s also perfect for motivated Wild Trail beginners.
