I have known the Dolomites since I was a child, long before they became a backdrop for crowded viewpoints and Instagram queues. This trip shows you the mountains I grew up with: quiet valleys, family-run mountain huts, Ladin villages and trails most visitors never find.

As an art historian and curator, I design this journey through Veneto the way I would plan an exhibition. You get Venice beyond the postcard, Padua’s frescoes, Vicenza’s Palladian architecture and the countryside where wine and art have shaped each other for centuries. It’s a small-group trip for travellers who want to understand a place, not just photograph it.
