Win an 8-day guided trek in the breathtaking Italian Dolomites!

This is more than just a hike, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to disconnect from the ordinary and reconnect with nature in its purest form. If you're a seasoned hiker craving fresh mountain air and jaw-dropping views, this is your opportunity to win the adventure you've been dreaming of.

To enter the competition, all you need to do is tell us why, in a few words, this trip would be special to you. The winner will be selected randomly from all valid entries, and they will receive a free 9-night, 8-day guided hiking trip for one person courtesy of Mont Blanc Treks. 

During the trek you'll journey through some of the most iconic landscapes in the Alps, passing through charming villages like Cortina d'Ampezzo and Belluno, and beneath the soaring peaks of the Tofane, Pelmo, and Civetta. With a mix of dramatic ridgeline trails, traditional rifugi stays, and the warm hospitality of the South Tyrol, this guided adventure strikes the perfect balance of challenge, beauty, and restoration.

Previous mountain hiking experience is essential.
