Please note, during peak times (summer), public transport can be extremely busy and this could occasionally delay our journeys.

Accommodation

Passed down from father to son, Sport Hotel Enrosadira is a three-star hotel in the village of Campitello. The name – Enrosadira – is Ladin (a language spoken by roughly 30,000 in this mountainous region) for ‘those brief, fleeting moments in which the sky seems to light up and catch fire among the peaks of the Dolomites’. Those same peaks make a beautiful backdrop for this hotel and you can enjoy lovely views from the large terrace. Elsewhere, there’s a sauna, bar, and lounge with comfortable armchairs to relax in the evenings. Wifi is available in the communal areas. There’s also a restaurant serving a mix of local and Mediterranean cuisines. Worth knowing There is no lift at the hotel.

Meals

All breakfasts and six dinners are included and provided by the hotel. The hotel restaurant dishes out generous breakfasts and traditional evening meals. On certain days, you will need to buy food in local shops for packed lunches, or certain walks may offer the opportunity to buy lunch at a mountain hut en route.
