Italian Dolomites - 'Not only running ' in fact mostly walking.


Not ONLY Running
- this entry is dedicated to the walk 'leaders' - though of course they are not qualified guides, and carefully remind us of this-of Collets holidays -particularly Jess Ben Caroline & others based in Corvara, Altia Badia Region, Italy. We have just enjoyed 7 days in the Dolomites based at the Bracun Hotel Corvara.
The photo shows the 'introduction ' to VIA Ferata - goggle it for more info.
To be recommended
- as it was our first trip to the Dolomites
-scenery wonderful
-walks both the organised and the suggested walks - a wonderful way to see the countryside
-the via ferrata introduction - WOW! what a day , with excellent coaching on the scramble up, the actual VF intro & the Scree scramble down - thanks Guys Jess & Gemma - well done
-Hotel Bracun Staff & Collets - good food , good company ( & good beer - Weisenbeer recommended)
-the Refugios at the Dolomites passes, especially Refugio Boe at > 2500metres up!
- oh and yes this is a (mainly) running Blog - on the Tuesday of our visit & following our VF introduction & in the pouring rain, I did enjoy a shoty 2.5 to 3 miles jog.
