I saw on Ricks recent facebook post that he was going to experience the one week hike Dolomite Tour in 2025. We have been in the works of planning the hike in September 2025. We were wondering what tour company Rick was planning to use for his hiking adventure. And, or, if you have suggestions of other Dolomite Tours Groups.
Thank you

Rick has been traveling independently and leading tours for decades. I’m guessing he’s just booking rooms and hiking from hut to hut.

You can base in a town like Ortisei and do day hikes recommended by the tourist office or hotel. Some hotels like the Hotel Gardena Grodnerhof have a resident hiking guide if you feel you need that.
We used Macs Adventures for our Tour du Montblanc. We would use them for the AV1 except for the tact that this trip requires staying in hits which can often have dorm style rooms, which I cannot stand. Given you mentioned the one week hike Ruck is planning, I would suspect he is doing g part of the AV1.

We spent 4 nights in Ortesei in 2022 and hiked on our own without any tours. We stayed at the Gran Tubla (awesome!) and bought a 4 day lift card to use the gondolas and lifts without limits. https://www.dolomitisuperski.com/en/SuperSummer/Purchase-ticket
We did a hike up to Seceda and Alpe di Suisi on two separate days. Super easy to navigate in Oretsei and there was a great tourist office with maps, etc. Both of the hikes we did offer stops at huts with great food, nice restrooms and comfortable seating to enjoy the views.
We went up another funicular as part of our same pass and hiked down. All very accessible. Good luck! Enjoy!!
