Top 3 Iconic Moments

🚠 Hike the Legendary Seceda Ridgeline

This is what the Dolomites are all about: towering cliffs, vast alpine views, and that surreal feeling of walking on the edge of the world. We hit an epic photo spot at the top, then celebrate at a mountain hut with homemade apple strudel and a cold beer (or hot chocolate), swapping stories with new friends.


🧖 Slow Down in the Spa Town of Merano

After days of adventure, it’s time for dolce vita. Picture slow café mornings, boutique markets, and soaking in a hillside spa with panoramic views. This is how you reset, SYB Italian style.


🚤 Go All Out on Lake Garda Boat Day

The finale: turquoise water, sun on your face, music up, and the crew diving off the boat together. Dance, toast, jump in, and feel that “never want this to end” energy with your people.

📅 The Schedule

01/

ARRIVAL DAY

DAY 1

Arrive at Venice, Italy airport by 1pm to make the SYB shuttle to our hotel in Merano for the next four nights. We’ll get to know each other, break out a quick stretch and work out to shake off the travel fatigue, take in the incredible views of the stunning Dolomites with a refreshing Venetian Spritz in our hotel’s infinity pool and get ready for an epic week. 

HIKES & RIFUGIOS

DAY 2

Today we head right out our front door to get familiar with the dolomites we hike to the famous Rifugio Merano, there we can enjoy a local beer or wine and sample some of northern Italy’s famous mountain cuisine. For those aiming to get a big day in, we will summit one of the many scenic peaks and take an ice cold plunge in an alpine lake. Back down from the mountain we will spend the afternoon exploring the town and castle of Merano, brush elbows with the locals and then head back to our hotel to hit the spa while watching the sun go down over the majestic mountains we just conquered!

VAL GARDENA

DAY 3

You wanted Dolomites, you’ll get them. We will wake up early to beat the crowds and hike the world famous Seceda trails. Iconic, yes. Breathtakingly beautiful, oh yes. Along the trail we will stop at some the more famous Italian Rifugios for food and refreshments. Don’t forget a camera on this one! Tired legs need one thing, an infinity pool overlooking the mountains. We’ll head back to the hotel to decompress and relax.

CATENNACIO

DAY 4

Now that we have a true taste of the mountains, it’s time to hike to the mind blowingly beautiful cirque of the Catennacio group and Val Di Fassa. Cue the Lord of the Rings as we hike to a breathtaking rifugio situated on a cliffside waterfall. For those looking for more adventure, we can tackle a nearby summit or just sample the strudel’s one by one.

LAKE GARDA TOURS

DAY 5

After 3 days of incredible hiking. We’ll wake up with a workout (maybe stretch after these trails), possibly another secret summit hike if people are up for it. Next we’ll take the scenic drive to Lake Garda to get checked in to our hotel and head straight to the beach and take in the sun and water and then hit the trails with an optional hike! After a little reset, we hit the nightlife in town for a full Italian treat.

MF BOAT DAY

DAY 6

Nothing quite like an early morning alpine lake workout, and that’s how we’ll start. After a hearty breakfast we’ll drive to the south side of the lake to the stunning town of Sirmione and it’s MF boat day, Dolomites Style!

DEPARTURE DAY

DAY 7

Our SYB shuttle will depart at 6:30am in the morning to get you on your international flight. If you are sticking around; you can stay at the hotel until our 10am checkout.

Until next time... or until we throw our next party because this SYB friendship just started!

FAQs

Because this is the Dolomites with a crew, not just a hiking trip.

You’re waking up in the mountains, moving your body with unreal views, and spending your days hiking trails that feel almost unreal, then stopping at rifugios for a beer or a full meal halfway through.  

After a few days in the Alps, you drop down to Lake Garda, where everything shifts into swims, boat day, and lakeside dinners.

It’s that balance of effort and reward that makes this trip hit differently.

Yes, and most people do.

Because you’re hiking, eating, and moving together all day, connections happen quickly. By the end of the week, it usually feels like you’ve known the group for a long time.


People who want something a bit more adventurous.

Typically:

  • Late 20s to 40s (sometimes even 50s)
  • Active and up for a challenge
  • Social, but not looking for a party-first trip


It’s a great mix of people who want to push themselves a bit and still enjoy the experience.

Yes.

This is one of the more physically demanding trips we run.

You’ll be:

  • Hiking most days
  • Gaining elevation
  • Moving for a good portion of the day


That said, everything is flexible. You can go at your own pace, skip a hike, or take time to recover when needed.  


Active, rewarding, and social.

Days are focused on the mountains, movement, and views. Nights are more relaxed, dinners, drinks, and time to unwind with the group.

It’s less about partying and more about shared experiences that actually feel meaningful.

You’ll experience two completely different settings:

  • The Dolomites for hiking, alpine lakes, and mountain towns
  • Lake Garda for swimming, boat day, and a more relaxed finish


You’re based in Merano for the mountain portion, then move down to the lake for the final part of the trip.  

Yes. We’ve spent years exploring these trails and work with experienced guides and local partners who know the terrain well.  

Routes are planned carefully, and you’re always moving as part of a group.

Like any mountain environment, conditions can change, but you’re supported the entire time.

Yes.

We have a photographer and videographer on the trip, so you can stay present and still come away with great content from the week.

If you like the idea of:

  • Earning your views through movement
  • Spending full days outside
  • Being part of a group that’s doing it together
  • Ending it all with lake swims and a boat day


Then yes.

If you’re looking for something more relaxed or less physically demanding, another SYB trip may be a better fit.
