Family Mountain Walking Holidays
Family mountain walking holidays in the Dolomites, a mountain range in the southern Alps, allow you to experience some spectacular scenery and towering slopes. There are both challenging trails and plenty of more gentle walks through meadows and forests that are suitable for people of all ages.
What really sets this region of Italy apart is its amazing culture and folklore. The South Tyrol province has a long tradition of witch and wizard stories that are sure to enchant visitors of all ages. In these stories, the craggy mountainsides, Alpine meadows and woodlands are all home to a wide variety of strange creatures. This can add some colorful imagination to your hikes as you can visualize the mythical friendly water spirits and herb women who legend has it were turned into flowers by King Laurin. Wild dwarfs and giants are also said to inhabit these hillsides, along with the legendary witches of the Scillar.
