The guided tour of Bolzano will make you discover the historic center of an ancient town discovered by the Romans and set in the Dolomites with artistic beauties, views, nature and many curiosities. It starts from the Dominican Church with its beautiful cloister which we will visit inside to admire the fresco cycles of the Giotto school and the various works by Italian and German painters; a short distance away we find the religious building symbol of Bolzano, its Cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta which we will visit inside. The church dating back to the 15th century in late Gothic style was built on three churches built one on top of the other from different eras and amazes visitors for the characteristic green and gold roof, the 65 meter high bell tower with 25 bells and the beautiful frescoes created by the students of Giotto's school; near the square that houses the Cathedral we find the curious door of the wine, one of the most beautiful gothic portals in the whole of Tyrol, where the winemakers with a special permit could sell the wine. From this large square, the town's living room, we head towards the commercial heart of the medieval historic center crossing via dei Portici street, a charming little street with Gothic-style arcades that host shops and taverns in a succession of pastel colors, frescoes and stucco. The tour continues along the most characteristic streets, focusing on the Baroque-style Mercantile Palace and the Renaissance-era Palazzo del Vecchio Municipio, now home to the Historical Archive. Another very particular street is Via dei Bottai street where artisans made wine barrels since the Middle Ages and today it is known for the best winery in Bolzano. Strolling through the historic center is another picturesque alley with a medieval arch and the Zallinger Tower, a real attraction for visitors with many open-air bars with the original stalls of the ancient fish market. We end the guided tour by admiring one of the most beautiful and colorful squares in Bolzano, piazza delle Erbe square with its fruit and vegetable market which houses the Fountain of Neptune, an 18th century marble and bronze fountain with the god of the sea with dolphins and shells

Throughout your hike your guide makes sure you have the time to take pictures and enjoy dramatic views of the Dolomites - all you need is a backpack, a pair of hiking shoes, and the desire to discover some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. In the greater Bolzano area there are plenty of different hiking possibilities available.

Following a pickup from your hotel, you’ll head first to Bolzano, gateway to the Dolomites and capital of the province South Tyrol. Cross the Eggental valley that runs eastward between the Rosengarten massif and the Latemar mountain range. This road was built in 1894 when the territory was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Stop at Lake Carezza, the most beautiful lake of the western Dolomites, for a 30-minute break and walk around the lake. Next, arrive at Karerpass where you’ll see the historical Residence Grand Hotel Carezza, built in 1893, this was the first luxury hotel in the Dolomites and has hosted very important guests including the Empress Sissi, Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie. From the Karerpass you’ll reach the Fassa Valley in Trentino and pass through the towns of Vigo di Fassa and Canazei to arrive under the imposing peaks of the Sella group. From here, begin a long series of 27 hairpin bends that will lead you to the famous Pordoi Pass at an altitude of 2,239m above sea level. Enjoy a one-hour break or take the cable car to Sass Pordoi at an altitude of 2,950m. From the Pordoi Pass, go down to the village of Arabba and continue east to the Falzarego Pass, the gateway to the eastern Dolomites. You’ll reach Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy’s premier mountain resort known as the Pearl of the Dolomites where the Winter Olympic Games were hosted in 1956. Cortina, together with Milan, will once again host the Winter Olympics in 2026. From Cortina, the next stop will be Lake Misurina with its incredible panoramic view of Three Peaks of Lavaredo. The lake, with its view of the peaks to the north and Sorapis to the south, is the most famous image of the Dolomites in the world. Just 20 minutes from Lake Misurina you’ll have the opportunity for a brief stop at another important lake in the Eastern Dolomites, Lake Dobbiaco. From Dobbiaco, you’ll reach the extreme northeast of Italy just a few kilometers from the border with Austria for the great finale of the day: a visit to the famous Lake Braies. From here, you’ll return to Bolzano via the Pusteria and the Isarco valleys.
