5 days ski safari in the Dolomites

The Ultimate Dolomites Ski Holiday: Your 5-Day Dolomites Ski Safari

There are several reasons to prefer this 5-day Dolomites ski holiday solution:

Avoid Crowds: Starting on a Monday (as I warmly suggest), you’ll skip the typical weekend confusion when tourist skiers are added to the mix of local Saturday and Sunday skiers. This is a key aspect to improve your Dolomites ski holiday.

Convenient Travel: Your Dolomites ski holiday will be scheduled from Monday to Friday, another important factor to facilitate your travel and flights on the weekends.

Here’s a summary of your 5-day Dolomites ski safari itinerary:

Your arrival at Bolzano - The day before

Most guests arrive in Bolzano by train, followed by a short 15-minute walk to Villa Anita, where we’ll stay the night before the Ski Safari begins.

In the evening, we’ll have an initial briefing to check equipment and review the general organisation of the Ski Safari Dolomites. This hotel will serve as your base camp, and the friendly staff will store any extra luggage you won’t need during the ski days.

Your Dolomites experience officially begins with dinner at the traditional Hopfen Restaurant, well known for its homemade beer and bread—an excellent way to start the journey.
