Italy, Europe

Multi-Activity Adventure

Wide open valleys, enchanting peaks and an old forest with tall red fir trees in Italy’s northeasternmost region, where Italy, Slovenia and Austria meet. The Tarvisiano area is one of the most important ski and mountain resorts of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.

This is an extensive list of the recommended clothing and equipment you will need if you are coming to one of our Multi-Activity trips.

During the tour, you will be staying in a mix of catered high mountain huts and hotels and will need to carry just a few items you require for a day or two. The huts are comfortable but basic with limited facilities.

Any clothing or other items not required on the day can be left in a hotel. You will stay in the same hotel for the duration of the trip and one night in a mountain refuge. 
We recommend keeping the weight of your pack as light as possible. If you are new to the alpine multi-activity adventure, try taking your pack out on a trail before the tour to see how it feels. You quickly realise the benefit of ‘travelling light’.

If you are uncertain or need further information, don't hesitate to contact us.

  • Mountainbike

    MTB bike can be hired locally in one of the rental shops. We do not include a bicycle hire in the holiday price, simply because of various sizes, technology and preferences each one of you have. There is a range of regular MTB bikes or e-Bikes that can be hired. 

    We recommend e-Bikes - rental cost is slightly higher than regular MTB bicycle however, it will pay off on ascent! You can switch an electric motor off if you want to challenge yourself.

Dolomites Freeride 2015-16.JPG

Dolomites

Renowned as one of the worlds most stunningly beautiful mountain ranges, the Dolomites offers dramatic ski touring to match. This tour includes many of the best descents in the area - long runs down remote valleys, dominated by the towering limestone cliffs that characterise the region.

This area is historically important as it was the front line between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces during the First World War. Evidence of this conflict can be seen on our journey in the form of tunnels, trenches and fortifications.

  • Insurance

    It is a condition of booking that you are insured for your chosen activity and the cover must include medical expenses, personal accident, personal liability, third party risks and rescue (including helicopter rescue). You are strongly advised also to take out cover against cancellation and curtailment.

    For UK residents Ski Club Travel Insurance may be a suitable option.

    If you need assistance arranging your personal insurance please let us know.
     

  • Airport transfers Valbruna

    The most convenient airport is Marco Polo in Venice from where the transfer time to Valbruna / Tarvisio is just around 2 hours by car. 

    We include in the price of the trip 2 shared, group return airport transfer. This is at set times so we ask you to arrange your flights accordingly.

    On the arrival day, the transfer will depart Marco Polo airport at 3.30pm, you should book a flight that arrives no later than around 2pm so you have time to collect your luggage and make your way to the meeting point. On the departure day the transfer will pick everyone up from a hotel at approximately 10am, this means you will be dropped off at Marco Polo airport at approximately 12pm; this should be suitable for flight departures from 1.30pm onwards. So we ask you to book a flight back that leaves no earlier than 1.30pm.
