Autumn High Altitude Escapes in the Italian Dolomites
Trekking through golden alpine passes and staying in architect-designed alpine lodges high above South Tyrol.

Modern alpine sanctuaries in Val Gardena and Alta Badia are redefining mountain hospitality. Combining sustainable larch wood exteriors with panoramic glass windows, these eco-lodges invite the dramatic surrounding nature straight into your living space.
Days are spent navigating quiet ridge trails above 2,000 meters, followed by evening saunas fueled by local pine wood and multi-course Ladin cuisine paired with regional Pinot Nero wines.
