Senior ski dolomites

I'm looking for a senior ski tour group in the Dolomites. Can anyone provide some direction?

Hi! What kind of ski tour are you looking for? The "hut-to-hut" ski touring variety, including skinning? A mellower "ski safari" from resort to resort, using only lifts and road transport? A Nordic skiing tour? I believe all kinds are available.

Down hill skiing. We are leisurely skiers preferring about 3-4 hours of skiing per day. We are concerned that a hut to hut ski experience might be too much skiing.
The normal groups are about 6 hours of skiing so we were looking for a senior group as a private guide prices are much higher.
How is the food in the huts as compared to hotels? As we are looking for an authentic cultural experience, could hotels provide that as well as the huts?

OK, thanks for clarifying. No idea about senior groups or lower-intensity groups, but with your clarifications maybe someone will have an idea!

Not sure about any senior ski tours, but if you like groomed intermediate skiing, we loved Alpi di Susa.

We arrived by train, had a shuttle take us to our hotel, which was ski in/ski. The hotel shuttled us to a ski shop for ski rentals, and while we walked back to hotel on groomed walking path, the hotel shuttle unloaded our equipment into the ski storage room.

We purchased half day tickets for the days we skied. If memory serves me right, a half day ticket started the minute it was scanned and good for four hours.

Since we had our dog with us, it was important for us to stay on the mountain. But Ortesie is a cute Italian town, and you could take the tram up to Alpi di Susi, or the two other tram/funiculars.

Where did you take the train from? Is there a hotel you would recommend? Did you hire a guide to help you around the mountain?
