Straight from our guests’ camera rolls. The hikes, the adventures, the mountain views and the crew. This is what a Dolomites Hike with Salt Escapes actually feels like.
Your Week

Arrive from 4pm at our jaw-dropping alpine chalet and settle in beneath the mountains. Unpack, explore the chalet, and meet your crew as everyone arrives. We'll ease into the week with some post-travel yoga overlooking the mighty Sassolungo, and chill out time in the spa. Tonight, we gather for our first private chef-cooked feast and welcome chat, where you'll learn about the adventures ahead.

Kick off the day with a fresh coffee and a pink mountain sunrise from the terrace. After a big Salt Escapes breakfast feast, we'll head out for our first hike. This 10km trail is the perfect introduction to the Dolomites. Expect lush green meadows, pine forest trails and big views without the full summit push. Back at the chalet, it's time to unwind. Enjoy a fresh, nutritious lunch whipped up by our provate chef, the sauna, cold plunge, and a guided yoga and breathwork session. We'll end an incredible first day with a big dinner to refuel ahead of tomorrow's big adventure.

Today is our biggest adventure of the week. After breakfast, we set off for a challenging hike, made worth it with ever-changing trails and views. At nearly 17km, it's a true test of endurance, but with chef-made snacks for the trail and friendships already formed, the group is ready to take it on together. Expect gorgeous landscapes, dramatic views, and lots of friendly mountain animals to pat along the way. We'll end this adventure at one of the most special restaurants in the Dolomites - a mountain hut with food and views that will make you forget about your tired legs! Back at the chalet, it's time to put your feet up in the spa, ease sore muscles with a yoga session and get ready for another special chef-prepared dinner and pink sunset over the mountains.

We rise early for coffee and a breakfast feast before heading out for our final hike. At 12.5km, it's shorter but steeper, and this climb packs a punch with big elevation and wow-factor panoramic views. Pushing through together as a team, the sense of achievement you'll feel as you complete this hike is like no other! We'll enjoy a chef-prepared mountain picnic before taking the gondola back down to the chalet. We celebrate with a well-earned afternoon of recovery - massages, sauna, ice and yoga. And of course, a special farewell dinner made by our private chef.

A slower start for our final day with some yoga & breathwork on the terrace. Then, we'll enjoy one last big breakfast together, and it's time for goodbyes – heading home with tired legs, new friendships and a huge sense of accomplishment.
The Villa
Set beneath the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites, your alpine chalet blends mountain charm with modern luxury. Expect jaw-dropping views, cosy social spaces, two private spa areas with pools, saunas and cold plunges, and beautifully designed rooms that make it easy to relax after long days on the trails. With plenty of space to unwind, stretch, and connect with your group, it's the perfect base for a week of adventure and recovery in the mountains. At checkout you'll choose your room, opting for either a deluxe twin (shared room), a small double, deluxe double or master double (each individually priced).

“The hikes were challenging but doable and very enjoyable. Communication was clear and everyone was so warm and helpful. The food was a big highlight, healthy but delicious meals.”
“I spontaneously booked the Dolomites trip about 4 weeks before going, and I was sold on the chalet, non-touristy hiking trails, and private chef. I can honestly say they exceeded my expectations. I loved my private room and waking up to an amazing view of the mountains. Every hiking trail was unique and fun in its own way, and you could really tell how much thought went into the itinerary. Chef Bex was incredible- she went above and beyond to make all my meals and snacks lactose-free (I was fully prepared to take lactose pills, but didn’t need them once!). And on top of that, she made TWO birthday cakes to celebrate two birthdays! Mai was also such a great addition with yoga. After a full day of hiking, my body definitely appreciated every session. This was my first solo trip, and I honestly can’t believe how smoothly everything went. Huge thank you to Amy, Mike, Bex, and Mai for all the hard work behind the scenes. If you’ve ever worked in restaurants or hospitality, you know how much goes into making an experience feel effortless- and they absolutely nailed it. In my opinion, Salt Escapes is just getting started. I loved hearing that they plan to expand into more hiking and skiing trips. While they’re focused on solo travel right now, I could easily see this expanding beyond solo trips, where groups of friends and/or families block a whole week just for the location, private chef, and fully planned itinerary. The level of detail was impeccable- things you may not typically think of- like drive from house to hiking trail = 5 mins! Can’t wait to watch Salt Escapes explode! 🏔️”
“Had an amazing time with salt escapes in the Dolomites - more than met my expectations. The trip was really luxury, and everything was really well thought through. The villa was wonderful, the hikes were beautiful, amazing food every day and also fantastic evening yoga. Highly recommend.”
“2nd salt escapes trip in the Dolomites and it was excellent! Challenging but fun hikes, a great group of 12 fun and interesting people and amazing food (including an amazing packed lunch from chef Bex and an awesome mountainside restaurant with the best pasta and steak). The villa and views from the porch were amazing and the recovery yoga sessions with Mai kept us all going through the daily hikes. It was a great 5 days and I can’t wait to come back on another salt escapes trip soon!”
“Salt Escapes is not your average retreat; it is truly exceptional. I recently did the Dolomites Hike Retreat and it far surpassed my expectations on every metric: the chalet was the height of luxury with breathtaking views and brilliant facilities, the food cooked by the team’s incredible private chef, Bex, was absolutely delicious, the hikes were amazing and perfectly organised (and catered for all different levels of hiking ability; we had first time and Everest hikers on our trip), and the people I met during the week will become lifelong friends. I took a leap of faith booking my first retreat of this kind, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I will be back!”
“Another epic escape in the books! I just got home from hiking the Dolomites with Salt Escapes and it was epic in every way. From the luxury accommodations and five-star food to the physical challenge of the hikes and getting to experience it all alongside an amazing group of new friends and training buddies, I can’t say enough good things. This was my second escape (my first was Dominican Republic in March 2026) and I can't wait for the next. Amy and Mike have built something truly magical - if you're thinking of booking an escape, RUN, don't walk! You will not regret it.”
“An amazing trip! The best hosts and people, insane hikes and amazing food! The chalet was stunning ! Really well organised and would love to do again!”
“This was my first Salt Escape and won’t be my last! Booked the Dolomites trip and wow. The chalet was ultimate luxury, the food was unbelievable and I had the best time! It was very well organised, hikes were unreal - I’m so glad I booked with the group as not only did I get to make new friends but I don’t think I would have challenged myself as much as this trip did, and the views/hikes are easily my top 3 experiences and achievements! Thank you so much Amy / Mike - a trip I won’t ever forget :) can’t wait for the next!”
“10/10 experience. This was my first Salt Escapes trip and they exceeded my expectations on every level. Crew: Amy and Mike were amazing - warm, fun, and did a great job of building instant community/connection between a bunch of strangers. Mai was the best yoga instructor I have ever had. As a Canadian, I am proud Lululemon have signed her up as an ambassador. Becks was so lovely and made some of the best meals that I have ever had. Accommodations: The place was stunning. The rooms, the views, the pool, the sauna, ... couldn't have asked for a better spot. The post hike pool/sauna sessions with the views of the mountains were a highlight of the trip. Hikes: This is what I signed up for and Salt Escapes didn't disappoint. Mike and Amy did a great job finding beautiful and challenging hikes that weren't over crowded. At times it felt like we had the hills to ourselves. Only suggestion for future S.E. Dolomites trips would be to kill the lunch we had at one of the restaurants in the mountains. It just felt unnecessary to pay for an additional meal that was good but not as good as Becks cooking when we could have been back at the luxury chalet recovering in the pool/sauna.”
“My experience with Salt Escapes in the Dolomites was truly exceptional. This was their first time putting on a hiking trip, and you genuinely would never have known it. Everything was incredibly thoughtful and beautifully executed from start to finish. From the stunning property and incredible food to daily yoga, perfectly planned hikes, and all of the little details in between, the entire experience felt so intentional. One of my favorite parts was how thoughtfully the hikes were planned to avoid the crowds, which made getting to experience the Dolomites feel even more special and immersive. A huge shoutout to Amy and Mike, the founders of Salt Escapes, who led the trip and made the whole experience so memorable. They created such a fun, welcoming group dynamic while also making sure everyone felt taken care of. You could tell how much thought, care, and passion they put into every aspect of the trip. The Dolomites themselves were absolutely breathtaking, but Salt Escapes made the experience so much more than just a beautiful destination. I left feeling completely spoiled, recharged, and already wanting to book my next trip with them. If you’re considering a Salt Escapes trip, do it. You won’t regret it!”
“Dolomites was my first Salt Escapes trip. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it delivered in every way; unreal chalet, great people, unbelievable food (even on the mountain) & rewarding hikes. Will be doing another SE at some point!”
“Genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever done. I booked this as a complete beginner. I’d never hiked properly before. The hikes were brilliantly varied. Each day felt different: forest trails, alpine meadows, ridgelines, a proper summit push. They’re challenging but always achievable, with options to suit different levels, and you move as a group with plenty of stops to catch your breath and take it all in. Nobody is left behind and there’s no pressure. Amy and Mike are the heart of it. So friendly, so organised, and they make you feel completely looked after from the moment you arrive. As a solo traveller that mattered enormously. I never once felt like the odd one out, and I never had to worry about logistics because everything was handled. Mai’s daily yoga was the perfect balance to the hiking, and exactly what tired legs needed. The chalet is out of this world. Jaw-dropping views, a spa area with the pool, sauna and cold plunge that becomes the highlight of every afternoon, and beautiful spaces to relax afterwards. And the food. Having a private chef producing that quality, in that quantity, every single day, was extraordinary. you eat properly, you refuel properly, and it makes the big days possible. Everything was perfect. If you’re on the fence especially if you’re solo, or you’ve never hiked before — book it.”
“This trip has gone straight into my Top 5!! Amazing people, energy, accommodation, incredible food (“snackies” are unmatched!) and was the perfect balance of active and chill. If you want to experience the Dolomites, but with others and be an ultimate cheerleader to scale 1,000m summit with views that genuinely don’t look real…book this trip! Left with a heap of gratitude!! 🙏”
“Just wrapped up my third Salt Escapes trip - this time in the Dolomites - and Mike, Amy, and the entire crew absolutely outdid themselves. The villa was incredible. The hikes were challenging and breathtaking. The food was on a completely different level. I thought the photos online were stunning, but nothing compares to standing at the villa and seeing the Dolomites with your own eyes. If you’re on the fence, stop overthinking it and book your spot. After three trips, Salt Escapes has delivered every single time, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“Dolomites was my second escape with Salt. So much fun! The hikes they organized were epic. For the summit day they had an easy option and a hard option, I went to the top! The chalet had a pool and the most amazing view of the mountains. The food was delicious and so many fun supporting people. Looking forward to my next Salt Esacpe.”
“This was my first Salt Escape and wow it was one of the best experiences of my life! The hikes were amazing, the villa was Beautiful, Mike and Amy were such great people who made me feel welcome and cared for. I left with lifelong new friends! I will definitely be back 😊”
“I just completed my 5th trip with Salt Escapes in the Dolomites after having been with Amy, Mike and their crew to Crete (2019), Menorca (2022), Puglia (2023) and Zakynthos (2024). When the team announced a hiking trip in the Dolomites, I immediately signed up as I knew it would be an epic adventure. The location, chalet, food, hikes, yoga sessions and of course overall company were all top notch! You come as a solo traveller and leave with a ton new friends. I can't wait to join another trip in the future.”
“My second Salt Escapes trip and yet another unforgettable experience, this time trekking in the Dolomites, following the Ibiza retreat last year. Amy, Mike, Heather and Bex made us feel at home and part of the family from the get-go in the most stunning chalet and over the course of some challenging treks in the beautiful Dolomites. I went solo again this year and I yet again found fun like-minded company and very quickly settled in. The team could not have done more for us and we were so well fed thanks to Chef Bex - standout food! I don’t know who is going to feed me three incredible meals and snacks now that I’ve returned home! All I can say is that I’ll be planning a third Salt Escapes getaway some time soon again. Thanks Team Salty!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Everything was seamless—the hikes, the accommodations, the food, and the incredible hospitality. The Dolomites trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should have on their bucket list. It was so hard to leave at the end, but I’m already planning my next return!”
“I had an incredible trip to the Dolomites in Italy with Salt Escapes! Amy and Mike put together a beautifully organized experience: great hike choices, thoughtful details, and food that was healthy and delicious. The chalet is unreal… you’ll leave with a hundred photos of just the view from the chalet 😄 Our yoga instructor, Heather, was also lovely and the yoga sessions were exactly what I needed. Mitch, our videographer, rocked and I can’t wait to see the videos he captured of our hikes. Can’t recommend this trip and Salt Escapes enough!”
“What really sets Salt Escapes apart is the community. Traveling solo can be intimidating, but I never felt alone. Everyone was so welcoming, and it was amazing how quickly a group of strangers became friends. Amy/Mike/Heather/Becks created such a supportive environment that made every hike fun, no matter your pace or experience. The hikes themselves were absolutely stunning, and every detail—from the accommodations to the food to the logistics (seriously the best food!!)—was taken care of so we could simply enjoy the experience. If you’re looking for an active vacation where you can explore incredible places, meet genuinely great people, and come home feeling refreshed, challenged, and inspired, Salt Escapes is worth every penny. I’ll absolutely be booking another trip. !”
“I’ve just finished my second Salt Escapes trip and had the best time. The team is great, everything is planned meticulously, the food is exceptional, and the general vibe is just so much fun. I’m already eying up another!”
“I had an amazing time with Salt Escapes. Great mix of hikes, delicious food, beautiful chalet, lovely people. 👌🏻”
“The Dolomites hike escape was amazing. The views from the hikes and the chalet are incredible. Amy and Mike did an amazing job picking hikes that weren’t overly crowded. I also can’t say enough about the food our chef was outstanding. Best part for me personally were the donkeys, cows and horses you might get to pet along the way.”
“Dolomites escape was a great experience. I came back home energised and craving more exercise. Hero hike sounds scarry but it’s the most pleasant reset that I enjoyed a lot! Thanks for coming up with this idea!”
