We wanted to go thru the Dolomites 1st week in November, but having trouble locating a room. It seems like they all shut down for November. Does anybody know of a place(budget)that stays open, or should I reconsider that part of my trip?
You may need to stay in nearby Bolzano. Nov. may have some snow in the dolomites so check ahead to see if public buses or tours from Bolzano go there. Ck tourist center in Bolzano. In summer buses are avail to parts of the stunningly beautiful dolomites. If this will be your only trip to this area keep looking you won't regret the xtra effort.
Reconsider that part of your trip. The lifts are closed in October, November, the end of April, and May. You'll be between seasons.
