Exclusive hiking adventure in one of the most spectacular places on earth, The Dolomites, a uniquely beautiful mountain area and now a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, created especially for you!
Immerse yourself in the mountains and join a super fun and friendly group of like minded adventurous souls for a week in the mountains!
In collaboration with Dolomite Treks, a local company run by International Professional Guide Anna Vecellio, I have created and curated the most incredible and epic itinerary for 14 like-minded adventure lovers who want to experience and hike in one of the most stunning mountain ranges in the world, The Dolomites.
It was important to me to work with a local agency to guarantee us the most authentic experience and also to support local guides who are truly passionate not only about what they do but the land the land they walk on, and after much research, I couldn’t be happier to have found Anna.

Flights
I travelled solo to the Dolomites in 2023 and it was honestly the most incredible trip I have ever been on; this is why in 2024 I launched my first group hiking trip there and we had the most amazing time and for that reason, we did it again in 2025 (twice!) and here we are ready for 2026.
I can’t wait for you to experience the indescribable beauty of these mountains and make truly unforgettable memories.

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.
An incredible experience! ✨️ a once in a lifetime trip to the Dolomites with amazing views. Illa is a beautiful soul with a passion for giving others unique and core memories that last a lifetime. I will be forevee grateful for meeting Illa and honoured to hike with her. She is supportive, encouraging and you will never feel like you can't achieve something with her around. Thank you for everything you do 💜⛰️
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.
