Dolomites trip planning built around you

Base & itinerary review
Not sure where to stay, or want someone to check the trip you’ve started planning? I’ll review your dates, the places you want to visit, and how you like to travel. You’ll receive written recommendations on the best base for your trip, how to structure your route, and what I would change before you book.
Best if you want to plan the trip yourself but need a knowledgeable second opinion. Delivered within 48 hours.
$75
Custom itinerary
Already chosen where you’ll stay but unsure how to make the days work? I’ll build a day-by-day itinerary around your bases, interests, and hiking ability. Each day includes a realistic route, with the driving, lift, and parking details you need to follow it.
This option covers one or two bases. If your trip involves three or more bases and you want help shaping the whole route, VIP is the better fit.
You’ll receive your personalized guide within 5 to 7 days, with one round of follow-up questions by email.
$199
VIP planning
Want help deciding where to stay as well as what to do each day? I’ll recommend bases and specific hotels that fit your trip, then build the itinerary around them. VIP is especially useful for longer trips or trips with several bases, where the order of your stays can make a real difference.
Before I build your itinerary, you’ll receive a personalized Choosing Your Perfect Base guide comparing the areas that best fit your trip.
Includes everything in Custom, plus detailed hike guidance, rainy-day alternatives, and email support until you leave. An optional pre-trip call is available.

Why plan with me?
I’m Laura. I’ve been returning to the Dolomites since 2010, spending time in one area at a time so I can understand how it actually works. I know how the choice of base affects your days, where driving takes longer than it looks on a map, and when a popular hike isn’t the right fit.
I use that experience to build a trip around you, not a checklist of places you’re supposed to see.

How it works
After you book, I’ll send you a questionnaire about your dates, travel style, hiking ability, and anything you’ve already reserved. Tell me what you’re excited about and what you’d rather skip.
I’ll use your answers to create the recommendations included in your chosen service. If you book VIP and haven’t chosen your bases, we’ll settle those first, before I build the day-by-day itinerary.
You’ll receive your plan within the timeframe listed for your service. The amount of follow-up support depends on the option you choose.
