TRC Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 My girlfirend and I have one week in Italy this late June/early July to climb and I am wondering if folks could give us some insights into Arco and the Dolomites. We are torn between the two and curious about others experiences in these places. Are we going to early for the Dolomites? Which area has more to do on rainy days? etc Thanks in advance...

Jim Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Two years ago I spent 3 wks climbing and hiking hut-to-hut in the Dolomites in July. I think June would be ok for the Dolomites, depending on what peaks you'd be interested in. Some of the huts only open for July and August. Here's a useful link: http://proxy.provincia.ra.it/cailugo/asp/tabelle/frame-tabelle.asp?pagina=tabelle&language=inglese We had a great time. Great limestone walls, great trails, excellent food and wine at the huts, and we only saw one group from the US. Quite a few easter Europeans and Germans. Very friendly folks. I'd suggest reservations for the huts if you're going that route. Feel free to PM me with questions. We also did some via ferrata, which I kinda dissed until we were there. It was a cool way to do some protected high end scrambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
