Exclusive autumn hiking adventure in one of the most spectacular places on earth, the Dolomites, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, created especially for you!
Immerse yourself in the golden glow of autumn and join a fun, friendly group of like-minded adventurous souls for a week of vibrant colours, crisp alpine air, and breathtaking trails that feel almost otherworldly at this time of year.
In collaboration with Dolomite Treks, the local company run by International Professional Guide Anna Vecellio, I’ve crafted a truly magical itinerary for 14 adventure lovers who want to experience the Dolomites during their most enchanting season, when larch forests turn fiery gold and the light feels warm, soft, and cinematic.
It was important to me to work with a local agency to offer the most authentic and meaningful experience, and to support guides who are not only highly skilled but genuinely connected to the land they walk on. After much research, I couldn’t be happier to have found Anna, her passion, expertise, and deep love for the Dolomites bring this autumn adventure to life in the most special way.

Ila organised the most fabulous authentic experience - everything was customised and well thought through. The variety of hikes and experiences we had and the personalities of her and her counterpart Anna made the experience one to remember and I would definitely go on another week long trip! The food at the mountain huts they individually selected each day was very high which made the long hikes even more fun.

It was my first time in the Dolomites and what an experience! Ila prepared an amazing itinerary of beautiful hikes. We had sun, cloud and a little rain, but it didnt stop us. The group was great and can't wait to hike again with Ila.
