A Dolomite Discovery: Iconic Peaks & Prosecco Pairings
Gentle hikes, grand views and the good life in the Italian Alps.
Overview
The lowdown
This isn’t your average Dolomites escape. From Venice to vertical peaks, this eight-day trail weaves together WWI history, mountain majesty and rustic Italian hospitality. You’ll hike tunnels carved into cliffs, row across mirror lakes and take in the iconic Tre Cime. Boutique alpine stays, a shared road trip and an epic journey that honestly feeds the soul. This trip is run by WeRoad, ARRIVAL's trusted travel partner. You'll be joining a small group of 8 to 12 travellers (aged anywhere between 18 to 55), coordinated by a WeRoad Coordinator who manages all the logistics so you don't have to. About 15 days before departure they'll create a WhatsApp group so you can start getting to know your travel mates before you even leave home.

Accommodation
The quarters
Your first and final two nights are in a boutique stay right in Mestre – stylish, local and perfectly placed for easy access to Venice and a warm welcome back from the road. Expect cosy touches and a killer breakfast before hitting the city or the skies.
Mestre Stay

Tucked between vines and village life, a family-run guesthouse brings a laidback charm to your first night on the road. Think rustic warmth, local wine within arm’s reach and a view of the hills to ease you into the journey.

This one’s got stories in the walls – a castle-turned-inn perched above the village or a farmhouse hugged by trails. Either way, it’s steeped in history, surrounded by nature and full of character. Think aperitivo with a view.
Cison Stay
Cison di Valmarino, Provi...
Close to Lake Braies, this cosy mountain stay blends alpine simplicity with postcard surroundings. Ideal for fresh air mornings and stargazing nights – the kind of place that makes you breathe a little deeper.

Activities
The fun stuff
Cruise Venice’s canals like a local on the vaporetto, hopping off to explore icons like Piazza San Marco, the Basilica and Palazzo Ducale. This is Venice done right: slow, scenic and full of surprises around every corner (and every stop).

Accompanied by your WeRoad Coordinator and a specialist local guide for this activity, you'll walk through the dramatic wartime tunnels of Mount Lagazuoi. This short but steep uphill route winds through history and into panoramic alpine views, finishing at 2752m. A mix of story, sweat and scenery – with the option to ride the cable car instead.

Grab a wooden boat and glide across the emerald-blue waters of Lake Braies, framed by pine forests and rugged peaks. Prefer to stay on land? Walk the gentle 3.5km loop around the lake – either way, the views are straight out of a fairytale.
