Your Holiday Centre
Holidays to the Dolomites invite you to uncover beautiful secrets in one of the most stunning mountain ranges in the world, an Eden of striking peaks, lush valleys, and hidden lakes. Vertical walls, sheer cliffs and sharp plateaux combine to make an unmistakable silhouette. The Dolomites were named for the rock they are made of. At dusk and dawn, the sunlight paints the mountains pink and purple, a phenomenon called enrosadira by the locals. Wandering through sweeping valleys and past clear lakes, this area is unheard of in Britain, so you can experience natural Italian beauty without the hordes of tourists.

Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Depart For Germany
After an early start and boarding your luxury coach, we make our way to Dover for our morning ferry crossing. At Dover, all passports will be needed for inspection by French Immigration. We travel through France to the Mercure Hotel Saarbrucken, where we will spend our first and last overnight stop with dinner, bed, and breakfast. There is also a welcome drink of juice on arrival.
Day 2: Depart for Ulm
We leave Saarbrucken and make our way with comfort stops on the way to Ulm. Ulm was founded in medieval times. In the centre is Ulm's Gothic Minster, a centuries-old church. Its steeple is the highest in the world. The town hall has an early-Renaissance facade, murals and a 16th-century astronomical clock. Half-timbered houses line the narrow alleys of the Fischerviertel, an area close to the River Danube. Here we have our second overnight at the Maritim Hotel on the banks of the Danube with dinner and breakfast.
Day 3: Depart for Paganella Dolomites
An early start, we make our way through Germany towards Karlsruhe, then onto Stuttgart at the northern end of the Black Forest. We cross the border into Austria, via the Fern Pass. We reach Innsbruck, the capital town of the Tirol, with its Olympic ski jump, heading towards Italy. We travel along the Brenner Road, which is a feat of engineering, to the Italian border and the Dolomites and on to our Hotel Paganella. There will be stops en-route for food and drink. This will be a beautiful scenic drive and a long day.
Day 4: Day at Leisure
A Mystery Day out, a guided walk of Fai with the owner of the hotel, with a pizza & wine picnic.
Day 5: Tour of Dolomites
Our scenic excursion today takes us through the very heart of some spectacular scenery of the Grand Dolomites Mountain range. We head towards Sankt Ulrich for lunch; Sankt Ulrich offers the prettiest town centre in Val Gardena. The cobblestone-lined pedestrian area embodies the valley's prime shopping street.
After lunch we start a magical journey through beautiful countryside before starting to climb the Trentino Mountains before traversing the stunning Sellajoch Pass. We continue a panoramic journey with a stop at the colourful Lake Caldaro before returning to the hotel.
Day 6: Riva Del Garda
After a hearty breakfast, we head for Riva Del Garda which is situated at the northern most point of Lake Garda. A medieval walled town on the edge of the lake, with cobbled streets and beautiful buildings. The shops and its castle are right in the middle of the harbour. You can take a boat trip, eat at the many cafes and restaurants at the waterfront, shop or explore.
Day 7: Sirmione
Today we visit the beautiful town of Sirmione, a fascinating old town dominated by the 13th century 'Rocca Scaligera' where Dante is said to have stayed. Colourful boats bobbing around on the clear blue waters of the lake, can take you on a trip around the peninsula. We then travel to Trento which is highly regarded as the most attractive town in the Trentino region. It is home to the spectacular Piazza del Duomo, once used by the Romans as their forum. Trento Cathedral, featuring a rose window and a baroque chapel, sits on Piazza del Duomo. Also on the square is Casa Cazuffi-Rella, a Renaissance building with a frescoed facade. The city is rooted in art and history, where the Italian and central European cultures meet. Returning to our hotel.
Day 8: Merano
Today we head to the south Tyrol, to the pretty spa town of Merano. Loved by generations of Austrian Royals to influential writers. Merano, with its sunny microclimate, medieval centre, leafy boulevards, and art nouveau villas still draws health-conscious visitors who come to benefit from its therapeutic traditions. A Sessel Lift takes you to a viewpoint above the vineyards, to see fantastic views over the town and surrounding countryside. Returning to our hotel via Lake Caldaro.
Day 9: Depart Paganella for Ulm
After breakfast and cases have been loaded on the coach, we say farewell to our hotel and head back through the Dolomites crossing the Brenner, retracing our steps back into Germany for our overnight Maritim Hotel in Ulm with dinner, bed, and breakfast.
Day 10: Depart for Saarbrucken
After breakfast, we retrace our steps with comfort stops on the way, back to Saarbrucken and our Mercure Hotel with dinner and breakfast.
Day 11: Depart for Home
After an early breakfast and bags have been loaded, we retrace our steps back to Dunkirk ferry port for our afternoon ferry. There will be a meal voucher included for food and a drink. We should arrive back in our local area, arriving mid to late evening.
