Day 1 – Journey to the Dolomites

After arriving individually, we will meet at Venice Airport by 11:00 a.m. at the latest. We will then be transferred to our first mountain hut in the Dolomites.

The first sunset photo session will take place in the late afternoon.

Day 2 – 6 – Photography in the Dolomites

Over the next few days, you will stay in various mountain huts and hotels located in the heart of the Dolomite peaks. These rifugios are situated in scenic locations in prime locations. At sunrise and sunset, you will hike to nearby viewpoints and fantastic photo spots.

You will spend the night on the Passo delle Erbe and find countless opportunities for landscape and nature shots on this mountain pass with its peaceful mountain pastures and towering forests. Spending the night at the foot of the Cinque Torri offers you fantastic views of one of the most breathtaking locations in the Dolomites. You will spend one night in a hotel near Cortina d’Ampezzo. This allows us to explore some of the picturesque photo locations in the area. Another mountain hut is located in the region of the picturesque Passo Rolle, which is known for its breathtaking views of the jagged peaks of the Pale group. In the immediate vicinity of the accommodation is a small mountain lake in which the dramatic peaks are perfectly reflected – a particularly impressive motif at sunset.

Between the photo sessions, you will have free time in the afternoon to relax, explore the area individually or view your photos.

Day 7 – End of the photo tour

After breakfast and a possible last photo session, a transfer will take you back to Venice airport. This photo tour ends here at around midday and you start your individual journey home or onwards.

Upon request, a single room can be booked in the hotels (single room supplement). In the rifugios, accommodation is in small shared rooms (2 to 4 beds per room).

Travel time June

In June, the weather in the Dolomites is usually mild and pleasant. Early summer is the time of the colorful alpine flowers. Temperatures in the low mountains range from 10-18 degrees during the day. In the high mountains it can be significantly cooler and snow is still common at this time of year.

Fitness level

You should be fit enough to hike 2 – 3 hours per day with your photographic equipment including clothing and personal items. The hikes lead over uneven terrain. The difference in altitude of the hikes is moderate due to the use of chair lifts.

Clothing

This photo tour is outdoor-oriented and we spend a lot of time outdoors in nature. We recommend that you bring robust and well-worn hiking boots as well as appropriate outdoor clothing in layers and rainwear. Hiking poles and a windproof but lightweight tripod are useful. A silk sleeping bag is necessary for one of the mountain huts.

Photo tour itinerary

We will put together the exact daily program on site at short notice in order to be able to deal with the respective weather and light conditions. In order to capture images at the right time and with the best light during the golden and blue hour, we will be out and about especially during the times of sunrise and sunset. In between, during lunch time and in the afternoon, you may have time at your own disposal. You can relax, explore the area or participate in our photo discussion and tutorials. Upon request or if we have fantastic weather and light conditions, we can also add another photo session in the afternoon.
