Italy Part 2! We wound our way up from Venice to the Dolomites, with a stop along the way in Fonzaso, where Nick’s grandmother was born. We hiked Cinque Torri, Seceda Ridgeline (from the lower gondola - a challenging hike for our youngest, but well worth it!), and Alpe de Siusi. Peppering the hikes we stopped at amazing rifugios / hüttes to rest, let the kids play, and eat incredible food. We stopped in Bressanone and Castlerotto on the way down to Riva del Garda. From Riva, we took the ferry to Limone sul Garda and Malcesine - towns frozen in time along the beautiful Lake Garda. This trip was the perfect blend of architecture, culture, and natural beauty! Hope these kids remember it…
