Hi, were there any scary hikes, for example, with narrow cliffs holding on poles, those kinds of things? 😅 I want to do almost the same trip, but very
scared of those.
Very informative and nice video! Thank you

From what I understand so far, from what I've seen, it's possible to get around without a car on the west side of the Dolomites, but on the east side there is no such possibility (mainly because the distances are so great from the base (assuming it's in Cortina)).

Thank you for your video. The views are stunning! Can you pls share the names of the refugios that you stayed at from day 1? 🙏

@ดานาบารานจักมา 3 months ago

It would be great if you displayed the names of all the places and hotels on the screen.

Awesome video! Thank you! Question: Bus 350 you took to Ortisei. Is it possible to take with a large suitcase (20kg)? Just want to make sure there is storage or space somewhere on the bus for check in size luggage.
