Italy with Arco - The Dolomites

Italy the way I imagine it with women who’ll love it too

I’ve had this idea for a while

For years, Arco Destinations has built custom trips for one client at a time. Each one designed around the Italy they’ve always imagined.

But there’s another trip I've wanted to design. One where I’m at the table too, with a group of women who get it, where the wine is flowing and laughter is shared, and where we are all challenging ourselves and experiencing new places, together.

An Arco Destinations-hosted small group trip.

Ten people, max. One or two hotels. A week in the Dolomites together and supported by the partners I trust most in Italy to make it everything it should be.

What the Days Look Like

Most mornings we're on the trail. Short hikes some days, longer ones on others. Always with a guide who knows these mountains well.

Afternoons might mean a wine tasting, a cheese cellar, a spa appointment, a little shopping or nothing at all beyond the scenery around you.

Evenings start with aperitivo and end with long dinners, conversation and a lot of laughter.

Part of building a group that works well together is being honest about who it's not right for. This trip may not be the best fit if...

You find it hard to share space, time, and meals with people you're just getting to know
You expect Italy to work the way the US does, with the same pace, service, and schedules
You need every day to go as planned. Mountain weather and small-town rhythms sometimes have other ideas
You're focused on checking off famous sights rather than experiencing a place
