How This Guide Is Different
Most Dolomites guides do one of two things:
Dump endless options on you
Oversimplify the reality of planning
This guide is built around decision-making, not destination collecting.
Instead of listing everything, it gives you:
Base-focused planning to reduce driving
Elevation-aware sequencing to protect key hikes
Built-in flexibility for changing weather
Guidance based on real hiking days, not ideal conditions
The result: fewer mistakes, fewer pivots, and a trip that actually flows.
