The difficulty level
of 5 was justified. It's not for the casual walker or the faint hearted. It's a
hard trek up to Sas Campiac and, if anything, a long and taxing descent. We
didn't have walking sticks - they would have made the descent easier. It was extremely
satisfying experience though, one I'll remember for a long time. Egon was an
excellent guide, full of humour. The food and drink at the hutte at the bottom
of the descent was greatly enjoyed.

Wonderful
guide and event. As an aside, I would have loved to know a little more of the
history if the area, when the peaks were first conquered, those who live on the
upper plateau community etc. But none of that should attract from a guide being
incredibly thoughtful, engaging and personable. All credits to him.

Peter was a wonderful
guide and I had a brilliant time. As a solo traveller it was wonderful to learn
that there are these tours provided (and for free for myself as I am staying at
one of the Active partners), and it was a great way to meet people. I would
highly recommend!

A great excursion. Roman made the morning really informative and
interactive in the beautiful alpine surroundings. Lovely touch at the end
sampling the local wine. Thank you. Would highly recommend this excursion.

We arrived late on a Saturday, and decided to start off with a free guided hike with Val Gardena Active (free for those staying at participating hotels and B&Bs) to ease into our Dolomite adventures. Egon was a knowledgable local guide who led the ten of us on a medium hike up to a couple of Rifugios - for coffee, then lunch - and improvised and took us down a different route to be able to check out a festival in the Vallunga, before heading back to town. To days later, we joined up on a difficult hike over the Puez Odle altiplano. Again, very nice to have a guide leading the way, and fantastic vistas, good food and a beer at our lunch destination, and a great price. Val Gardena Active is a fantastic service if you're staying in Selva!

I did walking and snowshoeing every day with organised guides from the Information Office. English speaking assistants extremely helpful and gave loads of advise.

Val Gardena Active offer a wide range of activities in and around the mountains and valley of Gardena. The guides are excellent and really bring something extra to hiking in the area. There are all types of activities on offer from mountain biking, climbing, hiking, photography for all different levels. They are knowledgable and you can learn something new on every trip. In particular, I really appreciated the “technical pitstop” at a nice mountain hut for a quick cup of coffee in the morning.My thanks to Antonio who shared is love for the mountains and made every trip a delight.

Strongly recommend at least taking a leaflet away to look at!Helpful though probably don't get that many English speaking tourists so I probably wasn't the easiest to deal with! Sorry.If you're in a partner hotel you can do some guided walks for free and possibly get a bus pass from your hotel (NOT skibus pass)Would advise diving into tourist info for leaflets + maps then taking a walk over to Active as there's loads to do from helicopter tours to cooking classes throughout the week.Prices were great for what's on offer.Thank you very much!
