DOLOMITES FOR YOUTH
What is DFY?
This outdoor youth program offers a transformative experience for teens aged 16-19, set amidst the breathtaking Dolomites. Over the course of several days, youth 16-19* hike from one scenic mountain hut to another, exploring nature’s grandeur while deepening their inner journey. Your guides are native Italians who are fluent in English. Each day presents not only physical challenges but also opportunities for personal growth through reflective discussions, spiritual teachings, and motivational sessions. Surrounded by towering peaks and serene alpine meadows, the participants will learn resilience, teamwork, and mindfulness. The program emphasizes the connection between nature and the spirit, encouraging teens to reflect on their goals, values, and purpose. Evening gatherings in the mountain huts provide time for contemplation, bonding, and shared wisdom, fostering a sense of community and self-discovery.

Backpacking through the Dolomites with Stefano and Rachel was one of the best experiences we have ever had. The variety of people, places, and the food we experienced gave such a wonderful insight into the Italian culture.
Stefano knew places to go that took us on a wide range of paths, including roads, trails and across country that made the experience so exciting. Every day was exciting with new and increasingly awesome experiences.
Group meet up will take place on the first day of the excursion at the Marco Polo Venice Airport in Italy. Due to international airline travel restrictions, youth must be at least 16 years of age to fly without an adult. Younger youth may be considered on a case by case basis if they can be delivered to the Marco Polo Venice Airport on the first day of the excursion. Alternatively, if you’d like to book a private excursion for 12 people, please contact us for details regarding a private group tour of the Dolomites. Non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your dates.
