The Dolomites and northern Italy
A mountain journey, with room to choose
The six-day Highlights plan connects Garda, Cortina, Val Gardena and Brenta before its Milan travel day. This is a wider northern Italy loop, not 6 days spent entirely in the core Dolomites. Treat saved stops as choices rather than appointments to complete.
One main mountain outing a day
Leave room for lifts, road access, transfers and the return. A full Tre Cime walk, the Braies lakeshore and the move to Val Gardena should not become three compulsory excursions.

Adventure leaves more room for a Sorapis day and a second Cortina and Val Gardena focus. Check access and your walking experience before choosing.

Things to do
Keep this day flexible for travel and exploring.
