A new addition for summer 2012 is the wonderful and spectacular Dolomites in the northern area of Italy. Amazing rock spires and pinnacles abound in this part of the Alps but there is a wealth of fine paths into the mountains with no need for rock climbing skills! Gary will be leading treks in two areas of The Dolomites, the Val Gardena in the west and the Sesto mountain range in the northeast. With an option of valley based trips or hut to hut tours there is something to suit everyones walking holiday tasts.
