Get acquainted to high alpine life in the Dolomites as you live above the clouds. Spend your days hiking through peaks, passes and sweeping views of pink limestone. At night you’ll sleep in remote refugios (mountain huts), accessible only by foot. This mountaineer’s pilgrimage will culminate in the exploration of historic tunnels caved through the rock during WW1.
