A week of hiking and yoga in the Dolomites

Ai and Mark led an unforgettable hiking and yoga retreat in the Dolomites of northern Italy. We traversed dramatic, scenic trails through the majestic mountains, with the charming village of Ortisei as our haven.

Along the way we paused for coffee and lunch in picturesque rifugios (mountain huts) perched among the peaks, savoring the flavors of Italian, Austrian, and Ladin cultures with panoramic views all around. We explored dramatic UNESCO sites and enjoyed moments of tranquility in the spa and wellness center.

After each hike there was time to wander the cobblestone streets of the alpine villages, with their artisan shops and historic landmarks. Friendships were forged, there was plenty of laughter, and the memories will last a lifetime.
