Just back from the Dolomites Traverse guided with Simon Munnings. It's my second trip with Salamander Adventures & I have to say it was brilliant! Once again from start to finish it was planned to perfection. Lots of research had gone into picking the right hotels & hostels & that really paid off. We were certainly well looked after. The food was amazing. Lots of the hotels had spas which was a welcome bonus after a hard day trekking. The hikes were definitely challenging, the group were very fit & kept up a fast pace. The ascents and descents were tough but the dramatic & spectacular scenery made all the hard work worthwhile. It was well led by our very experienced, knowlegeable & excellent guide Simon. We felt very safe in his hands & he made us feel very much part of a team. There was a heatwave for part of the trip, we also had a bad downpour with hail stones on another day. But with the right wet weather gear we were all fine. We crossed some snow paths & rivers which all added to the challenge. The group of 14 + Simon really gelled. We had such a great time!! Once again I can't recommend Salamander Adventures highly enough. If you're fit and up for a challenge I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I can't wait for my next trip! 😊
