Day 2 in the Dolomites!! ⛰️

Probably going to share our trip day by day because I have so many photos 😆 I still can’t believe this was all in one day. These landscapes are some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen and we’re absolutely loving eating and resting at the mountain huts mid-hike!!

1 & 2. Sunset at Santa Maddalena. This is one of the most iconic sunset spots in Val di Funes, with the stunning alpenglow (enrosadira) lighting up the Odle peaks

3&4. Eating the most amazing Krapfen (Italian donuts!) at a mountain hut for breakfast 🥹 You can find them at Rifugio Friedrich August after a 20 min hike uphill

5. The donuts were in the Passo Sella area, which we loved!! The views were incredible and there was so much to explore.

6. We also explored the Monte Pana area while waiting to check into our hotel. I love that the traditional Italian afternoon riposo means there’s often a little pause in the middle of the day. Many smaller shops and some restaurants close in the afternoon so we take it a sign to rest

7&8. Arriving at our dreamy farm stay!! CHALET TISCION **** 🐰

9. We watched a sheep herder with his sheepdogs and sheep for SO long.. probably the most sheep we have ever seen at once 😆

10. Val Gardena is also known for its incredible woodcarving tradition and the little self-service souvenir shops on the mountain were so cute 🥹

Have you been to this area of the Dolomites?

Wine tasting, but make it an adventure 🥂🏔️ ad

We’ve been together for 16 years and one thing we’ve learned is that the date nights where we put in a little extra effort are always the most special and memorable.

We packed a picnic, grabbed a few bottles from , and headed to Loch Lomond for a little wine tasting picnic dinner while watching the sun go down!

The Alsace region of France has a deep connection to nature and sustainable winemaking, and we seriously loved every wine we tried! The wines we tasted:

We chose Loch Lomond because its stunning and you can find dispersed camping spots along the road leading up to the lake, which makes it an easy option for turning this into an overnight adventure! Just be sure to plan ahead and never drink and drive. ❤️

Responsible recreation:
• Pack out ALL of your trash and everything you bring with you
• A high-clearance vehicle is needed to drive all the way to Loch Lomond; otherwise, you can hike up the road
• If you’re drinking, plan to camp overnight or have a designated sober driver
• Keep in mind this is a high-elevation destination, so be prepared for changing weather and colder temperatures, especially overnight
• If you choose to drink at higher elevations, remember alcohol can affect you more quickly, so drink responsibly and stay hydrated

Would you do this?

day 1 in the Dolomites!!! 🏔️🤍 unfiltered

We’re still pinching ourselves that we made it here. This has been a dream trip for us for so long. We’re here for 2 full weeks and I can’t believe the landscapes we’ve seen already.

We arrived in Val di Funes at Hotel Ranuimüllerhof in the evening after a 10 hour flight and 4 hour drive with no sleep and were greeted with the most gorgeous suite and one of the most incredible views we’ve ever seen 😭

We enjoyed sunset from our balcony and an amazing dinner before getting some sleep for our first full day in the Dolomites!

The next day we slept in and stopped at a cute little wool shop before eating lunch at our first mountain hut and heading out for the Adolf Munkel Trail + Geisler Alm! We ended up staying until sunset because we could not bring ourselves to leave. The mountains were glowing, the views were unreal, and we had the whole place to ourselves 🥹

also… we are OBSESSED with all the cows 🐄🤎

day 1 and already completely in love with the Dolomites. 🥹
