VENTURE Dolomites Ski Safari

SOLD OUT FOR 2025 - Enquiries for 2026 only

17 Ski Areas | 11 Ski Resorts | Challenging Skiing | Great Distances | Fast Paced

The Inspired Italy VENTURE Dolomites Ski Safari connects 11 Dolomites ski resorts &more than 17 different ski areas through 6 days of non-stop on-piste skiing. Staying on the mountain each night in high-mountain rifugio, the Venture Dolomites Ski Safari takes on some of the very best ski challenges that the Dolomites has to offer.

Enjoy six event packed ski days where each morning begins on a newly prepared groomed ski slope and no one else on the mountain. Each and every morning we say, "the mountain is yours". This is a unique Dolomites skiing experience, travelling through mile upon mile of UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE scenery and staying in a different high-mountain refuge each evening. For detailed information on food & accommodation, see the Lodging tab.

This seven night adventure ski tour is fully hosted & guided with your own ski leader. You never have to puzzle over your trail map or think about where you're going. Just enjoy the slopes as they keep on coming ... and there are lots of them! Find the best snow, stunning mountain vistas, enjoy local cuisine and some lesser-known, quieter ski slopes. Ski the resorts of Alta Badia, Arabba Marmolada, Civetta, Cortina, Kronplatz, Obereggen, San Pellegrino, Val di Fassa & Val Gardena. For detailed information see the Itinerary tab.

Small Groups

The Venture Dolomites Ski Safari is restricted to a maximum of seven per group, plus your ski leader.

Ski Ability

The Venture Dolomites Ski Safari is a fast paced tour suitable for fit, high intermediate or better skiers that can ski a groomed black (advanced) slope. All guests will be qualified before booking to ensure that the group is of the necessary fitness & ski ability.

On-piste trails are utilised throughout the tour. Off-piste skiing is possible along the way (as long as it doesn't slow the group down!), but it is at your own risk and will be without the ski leader.

Ski Equipment & Lift Passes

All mountain skis and poles are included in the tour price. You will need to bring your own ski boots or organise to rent some for an extra fee. A price reduction is given for anyone that wishes to use their own skis & poles.

A full 6-day Dolomiti Superski lift pass is included in the tour. If you have an IKON Pass that is valid for skiing 6-days in the Dolomites, you will receive a price reduction on the overall tour tariff.

Getting There & Away

To reach the start of the tour, Innsbruck (INN) is the best gateway airport. Yes, fly to Austria to ski Italy! If flights to Innsbruck are too awkward, then Verona (VRN) is the next best, but its flight schedule is even less than Innsbruck. Major international airports nearby are Munich (MUC) (just 2½hr train ride from Innsbruck) or Venice (VCE). Either way transfers can be arranged, or just get to either Innsbruck or Verona and get picked up by the included airport transfer. On the last day of the ski safari, after a great night’s sleep & breakfast, you will be driven to your preferred airport or other destination as negotiated with the tour operator.

During the middle of the ski safari you will experience the ultimate Dolomites lodging experience spending 5 consecutive nights in different alpine rifugi.
