In reply to Afonso Machado. Hi Alfonso, It sounds like you're traveling without a car, correct? If so, it will be easier if you base yourself in Val Gardena, or Alta Badia. The transit system in South Tyrol is easier to navigate. Depending on where you stay in Val Gardena/Alta Badia, you may be able to access trails directly from town. The trails around Cortina d'Ampezzo are excellent, but it's easier to get around with a car. Kindly, Sabrina

Hello. We plan to stay 5 days in the dolomites in the first week of september, but i am very indecisive about where to stay. What is, in your experience, the best place to stay having in consideration the hikes that it provides and the views? For example, if we stayed in Cortina could we easily hike or take a bus to Val di funes or Val Gardena?

In reply to Ann. Hi Ann, 10 days in September are great if you love to hike! I would divide equally. If I had 10-11 days, I personally would add in another base. - Val Gardena - Cortina d'Ampezzo - Alta Pusteria (Braies, San Candido, Sexten). When you're in Cortina, you can focus on the Ampezzo Dolomites. And then you can head to Val Pusteria to hike in the northern Braies/Prags and northern Sexten Dolomites. Kind Regards, Sabrina

Thank you!
And if we’ll stay 10-11 days in Dolomites, do you suggest to split them equally-5 days Cortina 5 days Val Gardena? Or it is better to stay in Val Gardena more days than in Cortina? Is it not too much for Dolomites in this time of the year?

In reply to Anna. Hi Anna, I recommend staying 4 nights in Val Gardena and the other 4 nights in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Have a great trip, Sabrina

Hello. We plan to stay in Dolomites in the end of September for 8 days (22-30 Sept). We are family with kids (well trained for daily mountain hikes-did a lot of long hikes in French and Spanish Pyrenees). With a car. We would like to divide or stay between 2 places, not more.
What areas you will suggest to stay in this time of the year? We would like to go to nice hikes within 1-1.5 hour of drive.
Thank you
