Local knowledge

Your local Dolomites guide, beyond the postcard spots

The famous spots are busy, and more of them need a reservation every year. I know the quieter corners, the right time of day and the huts worth stopping at, and I plan each day around you: your pace, your interests and the weather.

One local guideI plan your day and I lead it. One person from your first message to the last stop.
Quiet places, your paceI’m not about summits or altitude meters. I choose calm trails and slopes and the right time of day, and we adapt to snow, weather and how you feel.
Private, never a group tourYour day is just for you and the people you bring.

Private & tailor-made

Meet your guide

Hi, I’m Juli

I was born in South Tyrol and grew up on skis. I went to a sports school and was a competitive alpine ski racer: part of the South Tyrolean regional squad, several-time provincial champion and overall winner of the Finstral Cup, with FIS races and top results at the Italian championships.

Racing meant being away a lot. And whenever I came home, I went straight to the forest, or to my grandmother, who knew every herb along the trail. She taught me to notice the small things: a quiet spot with a view, the moment the light changes. That’s the way I guide. I’m not in a hurry, and I’d rather show you one place well than ten places fast.

I’ve been working in the Dolomites for 20 years, in every season. Today I’m a licensed ski instructor and a licensed hiking guide, and for the past few years I’ve been self-employed, which I truly enjoy. I’d love to show you the Dolomites the way I know them.

My goal is simple: to make people happy. If you’ve had a good day with me, so have I.

“The last 4 days has to be the best trip we’ve experienced in these 27 years. For a start Juli is fantastic & got our humour (with 7 lads) … The attention to detail on route planning, beer stops, lunches … was spot on. … Suffice to say we have booked to do this again.”

Felim M., Ireland · Ski trip with friendsGoogle review

“Juli guided our family on the Adolf Munkel Trail in Val di Funes, and it was the highlight of my entire Italy trip. … She’s personable, knowledgeable, funny, patient, and kind — treated us all like family from the first minute. … If you’re hiking the Dolomites, book Juli. You won’t regret it.”

John C., USA · Family hike, Val di FunesGoogle review

“We were so lucky to have Juli as our guide so that we were able to enjoy the scenery and not stress about the planning. … We are already making plans to come back and ski with Juli again. … She was truly the difference maker on our family ski trip.”
