The Palaronda Trek is Dolomites hiking at its purest. Set within the vast Pale di San Martino — the largest massif in the Dolomites — this legendary 4-day circular route begins and ends in San Martino di Castrozza.

This tour is ideal for hikers seeking a classic Dolomites experience in just four days — immersive, authentic, and rich in high-mountain atmosphere.
