We are planning a 5ish week trip to the Dolomites in late August/September later this year. We don't have anything booked, but will start making reservations soon. We are interested in easy to moderate trekking, maybe staying at rifugios for part of the time. We will have a car and will probably base ourselves in Ortisei for a couple of weeks and do daytrips/drives/hikes, then go over the Passo Gardena towards the eastern areas and thinking to possibly book a rifugio for a week followed by a week in San Candido. We had looked into Cortina d'Ampezzo but the accommodations seemed overpriced compared to what we can get in other towns.
Has anyone done a long-ish trip in this region? Did you stay in one place or move around a lot from night to night? Any favorite rifugios? If anyone did a multi-day hike, did you self-book or have a tour company plan/move luggage, etc? Would love to hear people's experience with this part of Italy. Last September we spent a month in the Lake Como area (in an apartment in Menaggio and daytripping around the lake area) and absolutely loved it. Hoping to enjoy this trip just as much, although not expecting to stay in one place the whole time, since there is so much to see across a wide area. Open to any tips and advice to help in our planning. Thanks!
