Torchlight walks

Torchlight walks

On a regular basis, nighttime torchlight walks are organised. Mystically and romantic, this is how the natural landscape presents itself, covered by a mighty blanket of snow. For warming up, hot tea is offered when doing short breaks, while you can enjoy the particular winter atmosphere of the Dolomite area.
