A charming Alpine resort in the Italian Dolomites, Cortina d’Ampezzo is a gateway to some of the best sights in this fantastic mountain range. In the winter it’s a hugely popular ski resort, then as the temperature rises it transforms into a playground for many outdoor activities, hiking being one of them.

The Alta Via 1 path covers around 150 kilometers and passes through some of the best scenery in the mountain range, including the Marmolada (the largest mountain in the range). This is a trip that needs to be done over a week at least.

I approached Gauthier about doing a hike with Lucia at the 11th hour and he was quick to respond. They tailored the hike to suit my 10 year old. While the terrain is something we could have navigated on our own - it was fabulous having Lucia as our guide. She knew all the WW1 history of the area, and the geology around how the Dolomites were formed. It was fascinating
