Dolomites, Italy, Sept. 20, 2011 ˆThe crown jewel of the Alps, Italy‚s Dolomite Mountains, will be home to a pre-Holiday ski tour with optional visits to local Christmas markets. Run as a privately scheduled, pre-set 8 day/7 night itinerary for a minimum group size of four guests, departures are offered anytime from Dec. 2 to 22, 2011.

The exclusive tour is operated by Europe‚s active travel leader, Dolomite Mountains srl (http://dolomitemountains.com/en/home.htm), an Italian company bent on proving that the adventure path reveals some of the most beautiful natural settings on earth. The nearly all-inclusive cost per person is •2580. The trip begins in Bolzano and ends at Alta Badia.
