  We had a brilliant time on our Venture Ski Safari with Tim as our guide. Skiing was sensational and the views were even better! Loved the food as well. Thank you Inspired Italy for a great week. We’re already planning our next Safari!

  Feb 26- Mar 3 2023. Wow just did 6 days Venture tour with Tim. Was fantastic in every aspect, challenging conditions at times with weather and snow etc but Tim made sure it was smooth sailing. The whole experience from skiing , scenery, coffee, brilliant lunches at some really charming restaurants and fantastic overnight stays at Refugio's. So special to watch the sunset and sunrise from mountain top lodge. Also first crack at fresh corduroy from the top on a couple of days was a real treat. First 3 runs at Kronplatz were awesome as we were the first tracks. The lift technology and cable cars completely new experience compared to our Canadian resorts. Also amazing how small a snow base the Dolomite’s have yet we had fantastic skiing on piste so never was an issue at all. Incredible amount of snow making infrastructure that depth of snow was not a worry.Grooming was excellent. Tim was a fountain of knowledge especially about the WW1 war history in the region. The whole experience was a real journey and so much more than just resort skiing. Skiing with a small pack was super easy and comfortable and shows you don’t need much to get thru a week of skiing. Many thanks to Tim and Louise for answering all our questions before the trip. A great ski experience Highly recommend if you’re adventurous and want a journey rather than just a ski resort holiday

  We skied with Inspired Italy on the Venture Safari in February 2023. This was an amazing experience for my husband and me. Lou and the whole team at Inspired Italy made it all SO easy! We feel insanely spoiled by our week in the Dolomites, great experiences, gorgeous views, amazing people, fabulous accommodations, and delicious food! We are taking home lifelong memories and lifelong friendships with our new Ski Safari family!

  Another great ski trip through the Dolomites and another brilliant safari with Inspired Italy. The perfect way to ski in different regions, enjoy good food and wine, good company and enjoy freshly groomed pistes first thing in the morning. Tim, Lou and Matteo run a well-organised operation with different safaris to suit different tempos and different sking abilities. The impressive thing is the calm and fun way in which they deal with everything not just when it is going to plan but also on the occasions when it doesn't go to plan. Blue skys and perfectly groomed pistes, all goes smoothly, white out conditions and pistes covered in deep powder, it all goes smoothy. Need to substitute the tour leader shortly at the start of the safari due to injury, again all managed without a problem. We have had a great holiday and are already planning our return next year.

  We couldn’t have had a better experience skiing in the awe inspiring Dolomites with our Inspired Italy tour and guide! Dolomiti Super Ski is a vast network of amazing perfectly grooming runs with dozens and dozens and lifts, bubbles and trams ! Our leader and guide Tim knew and led us through the most iconic and gorgeous areas and runs stopping for delicious Italian lunches and apertifs in jaw dropping settings! Staying on top of the mountains in warmly hosted refugios at night, we had glorious first tracks in the mornings to ourselves! Our fellow skiers were a small group of seven and so much fun getting to know one another and bonding over the whole experience! Tim made our whole ski Safari a fun and seamless experience with his vast knowledge of not only the locale and lore but his time management and evident love of helping his guests experience a simply fabulous and memorable Italian Dolomites ski vacation!

  Short review: Want epic skiing? Book this Ski Safari Special!!! More: Incredible family adventure for our my wife, me, and two young adult sons. My wife and I have traveled extensively for +40 years, and it is a rare thing for us to repeat a destination or to do things with a group. This was easily an exception. Would do this again in a heartbeat. Exceptionally well planned by the Inspired Italy team, and professionally led by our guide Lou. She was fun, knowledgeable, and perfectly organized. A trip of a lifetime! The details: Hard to know where to begin. Planning: From day one, most info was provided originally without having to ask. When we had questions, answers were quick, detailed, and helpfully communicated. Well worth giving Louise a call and get to know each other a bit. She instilled confidence and I could tell immediately we would have fun with her. It is evident she and Tim love their work, both of them great hosts and organizers. Group: Though we are not normally organized group people, it was clear a trip with this many logistics would be challenging to pull off alone. So glad we trusted them with our time and money. They made sure every detail was cared for so we could just enjoy skiing. With our family of four, and our guide Lou, there were two other guests. The seven of us soon became friendly, worked well together, looked out for each other, and had fun! Accommodations and dining: Each refugio provided unique and memorable lodging. All were up high with breathtaking views. Each had an excellent breakfast and dinner provided with good wine and beer choices. Eating together as a group, we talked about our day just experienced and what to look forward to the next day. Lou also planned coffee and lunch stops, many of those quite memorable too. Skiing - the best for last: With all the info provided, we were expecting it to be epic. But the reality was even better than imagined. We covered significant ground each day, and many of the ski runs were unbelievable! Mostly reds, a few blues, and some iconic blacks. We skied many runs that far exceeded anything we had experienced. It was exhilarating. Lou’s vast experience of the terrain, anticipated weather conditions and their effect on the surface, and her expert and thoughtful lead gave us confidence to stretch our limits and the satisfaction of looking back and saying “wow, we did that!” And fresh tracks every morning on untouched corduroy before the lifts started turning was amazing. Inspired Italy has perfected this experience, their name describes it. You can book this ski safari confident it will be a never forgotten experience any skier would be challenged to duplicate.

  Skiing is a precious week. This time, Inspired Italy did the work. We Skied across the dolomites on great runs selected for our style and ability with great company and top accommodation. We selected the safari spacial and this one focuses of really good food, but you can select your own priority. All we needed was a small rucksack. So easy, great organisation, much easier than I expected. Got stranded as a lift closed early but Inspired Italy just sorted it out. Fantastic week. Recommend it. Its going to be hard going back to doing last minute disorganised trips on the ruff.

  Fabulous ski safari. The team give a very personal service whilst also a very professional one; you are in expert hands! This was our second trip, this time with our adult children. They too loved the beauty of high refugios, pristine slopes in the morning and lots of skiing. If you are a competent red skiier and want a memorable ski trip, I would high recommend an Inspired Italy ski safari.

  This was my third ski safari with inspired Italy and I hope to be back for more. It is wonderful to ski with a leader who knows the slopes the restaurants and the Refugis like the back of his hand and takes you to the best runs in the conditions and the best restaurants for the group. All this whilst travelling across the stunningly beautiful Dolomites, starting each day from the top of a pristine, perfectly pisted run after a comfortable night in the surprisingly luxurious refugio.
