22 The Essentials: Dolomites, Italy

The Dolomites are one of Italy’s most visually striking regions, but they require far more strategic planning than many travel advisors expect. In this episode, Italy specialist and Travel Advisor Karen Hattaway shares firsthand insight into how seasonality, elevation, and geography shape the client experience in the Dolomites. She explains when to send clients for summer hiking versus winter snow, which months to avoid entirely, and why July and August often work against the experience. The conversation also breaks down the key valleys, comparing well-known hubs like Cortina and Ortisei with more authentic alternatives such as Val di Fassa and Alta Badia. Travel Advisors will gain practical guidance on logistics, transportation, wellness culture, and client fit so they can confidently design Dolomites itineraries that feel intentional rather than overwhelming.
