Walking and Hiking Tours Make Great Bucket List Adventures
Category: Adventurous retirement
June 29, 2023 — While any kind of travel is usually high on many people’s retirement bucket lists, a walking or hiking trip a particularly good idea for those looking for an active experience. Walking tours are the perfect Goldilocks adventure option for people of retirement age. Easier and less risky than bike tours, they provide plenty of action and adventure. They are perfect for folks who crave the outdoors and nature, but don’t want to experience new worlds from a seated position on a bus or boat.
Your editor has just returned from a hiking trip in the Dolomite Mountains of Italy – a fabulous adventure. Much of this mountainous region of northeastern Italy has been made into National parks, and the area has now been declared a World Heritage Site.

Glad we got the hiking juices going! Here is a link to the Country Walkers site for Dolomite tours (they go to LOTS of other places too). https://www.backroads.com/search?keyword=dolomites Flo suggests you can also search on the web for "Dolomites walking tour". Here is the page for Backroads, which offers very similar trips. https://www.backroads.com/search?keyword=dolomites

Thanks for the great info. I do a lot of local hiking, but I never thought of something like this. I will look into it.

Cinque Torre?
Admin says:
Good question Ed. It gets confusing. Cinque Torri (we mispelled this in the original article as Cinque Torre) comprise a small rock formation belonging to Nuvolao group in the Dolomiti Ampezzane north-west of San Vito di Cadore and south-west of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Not to be confused with Cinque Terre, a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. Or, also on our hike, Tres Cime de Lavaredo, three famous peaks in the Dolomites.
