Back when Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I used to head into these Italian mountains before our son was born, our holidays looked something like this: we slept in a tent or campervan, <strong>set off at the crack of dawn for the steepest climbs<\/strong>, and came back utterly wrecked after dark. We lived for that feeling of having conquered another peak. But this year we came here <strong>for the first time with two-year-old Jon\u00e1\u0161ek<\/strong> and our two dogs, K\u00e1ja and Baby. And honestly? <strong>We had absolutely no expectations.<\/strong> Our son can&#8217;t stand a carrier, and he only started tolerating the pushchair after his second birthday \u2014 and even then only when he&#8217;s awake. The rest of the time he basically just sleeps in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And lo and behold, it turned out to be a completely different holiday, yet <strong>just as much of a knockout as it was in our child-free days.<\/strong> Whereas before we&#8217;d pick a multi-hour trek every day and head out at sunrise, this year we enjoyed a <strong>slow breakfast<\/strong>, soaked up the view straight from the campsite, then caught a bus to a cable car that whisked us comfortably to the top. Up there we&#8217;d take a short stroll, test how much our <strong>folding travel pushchair could handle<\/strong>, eat ice cream, and spend hours at the mountain huts just gazing at the peaks. For the first time, we got to enjoy places we&#8217;d never bothered with before, because they simply weren&#8217;t a &#8220;long enough&#8221; trip for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to all this, we fully appreciated the <strong>luxury of the local cable cars<\/strong> \u2014 they carry you, pushchair and dog and all, right up into the clouds, where flat green meadows, jaw-dropping views and mountain huts with <strong>playgrounds<\/strong> and fantastic Italian food await. After the first day, we were checking cable car timetables instead of elevation maps, and that told us everything. <strong>Don&#8217;t be afraid to travel with little ones \u2014 they&#8217;ll show you a completely different side of the Dolomites than the one you know.<\/strong> And honestly, they&#8217;re now our new favourite mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi.jpg\" alt=\"Family with a pushchair and two dogs on a mountain meadow in the Dolomites\" class=\"wp-image-173836\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-rodina-kocarek-psi-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Family with a pushchair and two dogs on a mountain meadow in the Dolomites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/dolomites-italy-with-kids\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/dolomites-italy-with-kids\/#When_to_Go_and_How_to_Get_There\" >When to Go and How to Get There<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/dolomites-italy-with-kids\/#Where_to_Stay_and_How_Much_It_Costs\" >Where to Stay and How Much It Costs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/dolomites-italy-with-kids\/#What_Kids_Can_Handle_by_Age_from_the_Pushchair_to_the_Chamois\" >What Kids Can Handle by Age, from the Pushchair to the Chamois<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/dolomites-italy-with-kids\/#1_Ages_0_to_4_Cable_Cars_Pushchairs_and_Maybe_a_Carrier\" >1.

Just brace yourself, because in August the Italians take their national holidays (<strong>Ferragosto<\/strong>) and everywhere gets genuinely packed. If you can swing it, <strong>September is absolutely magical<\/strong>: the crowds thin out, the air is crystal clear and it&#8217;s still pleasantly warm in the sun. The easiest way over from the UK is to fly \u2014 the nearest airports are Venice or Treviso, with regular connections from London (Gatwick, Stansted, Heathrow), Manchester and other UK hubs, and from there you pick up a hire car. From the airport it&#8217;s a beautiful two-hour drive into the heart of the mountains. If you&#8217;d rather drive your own car, you can route through France, Switzerland or Austria \u2014 just budget extra time and remember you&#8217;ll need motorway vignettes for Switzerland and Austria. Look for cheap flights on comparison sites and book your hire car well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_and_How_Much_It_Costs\"><\/span>Where to Stay and How Much It Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re travelling with little kids, <strong>forget the nomadic lifestyle<\/strong> of sleeping somewhere different every night.

It sits right in the heart of the most beautiful views, and crucially, <strong>cable cars run straight up to Alpe di Siusi and Seceda<\/strong>, so in the morning you just load the family into the cabin and you&#8217;re in paradise within ten minutes. On top of that, Ortisei has a gorgeous <strong>pedestrian centre full of shops and caf\u00e9s<\/strong>, where you can sit back with an evening Aperol while the little one sleeps in the pushchair. You could stay, for example, in the lovely family apartments at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=dolomity-detmi&amp;hotelname=Dolomiti%20Sweet%20Lodge&amp;address=Ortisei,%20Italie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dolomiti Sweet Lodge<\/a>, which has a small playground for kids and plenty of space to run around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other great option is <strong>Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo<\/strong>, ideal if you want to explore the eastern part of the range around Tre Cime and Lake Sorapis. <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/cortina-dampezzo-nase-hlavni-base-v-dolomitech-a-kompletni-pruvodce\/\">Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo<\/a> is a touch busier and more upmarket, but it offers <strong>everything you could need<\/strong>, from supermarkets to pharmacies and excellent restaurants. If you&#8217;re more into camping (which kids usually love), we recommend the <strong>Cortina Olympia campsite<\/strong>, with great family facilities and wonderful peace and quiet. Just to the south lies the Val di Fassa valley, which I&#8217;d recommend more for families with <strong>older, more active kids<\/strong>, as the terrain there offers more sporty pursuits and longer treks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Kids_Can_Handle_by_Age_from_the_Pushchair_to_the_Chamois\"><\/span>What Kids Can Handle by Age, from the Pushchair to the Chamois<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every parent knows that <strong>what works for one child may not work at all for another<\/strong>.

Ages 0 to 4: Cable Cars, Pushchairs and (Maybe) a Carrier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is exactly the stage we&#8217;re in right now with two-year-old Jon\u00e1\u0161ek \u2014 and I&#8217;ll admit straight away that our kit ended up looking different from what most blogs advise. <strong>Our son simply can&#8217;t stand a carrier<\/strong>, so the classic &#8220;bring a hiking child carrier&#8221; tip didn&#8217;t apply to us at all. We bet on <strong>cable cars, buses and flat high-altitude plateaus<\/strong>, where your child can roll along comfortably in the pushchair while you soak up incredible views without a single steep metre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest about the pushchair: <strong>an off-road pushchair with big air-filled wheels is obviously the best choice<\/strong> for rough ground. But we only have an <strong>ordinary folding travel pushchair (a Joolz)<\/strong> \u2014 and it&#8217;s tougher than anyone would expect. It comfortably lasted a whole day on the Alpe di Siusi plateau. The rule is simple: if your child <strong>can sit happily in a pushchair for longer stretches<\/strong>, an off-road model is better; if they <strong>tolerate a carrier<\/strong>, that opens up a whole different world of treks. And if they do neither, like ours? No worries \u2014 the cable cars come to the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko.jpg\" alt=\"Dad with his two-year-old son eating ice cream on the Seiser Alm meadow\" class=\"wp-image-173845\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-mimino-nositko-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our typical &#8220;trek&#8221; with a toddler \u2014 ice cream on the Seiser Alm meadow with mountain views<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With children this age, <strong>there&#8217;s no point planning routes longer than five to seven kilometres<\/strong>, because you need plenty of stops for feeding, nappy changes and letting the little one run around on the grass.

For older children, though, it&#8217;s a <strong>fantastic adventure<\/strong>, with little tunnels and rock formations along the way.

It&#8217;s more of a lovely <strong>rest stop<\/strong> than a full-blown trip, but we came just before sunset, when the bus crowds had cleared, and Jon\u00e1\u0161ek <strong>backed away from that turquoise water like a child seeing the sea for the first time<\/strong>.

Once again, a two-seater chairlift carries you straight from the main road up to the <strong>Rifugio Scoiattoli<\/strong> hut. The view of the towers is stunning, but the real adventure lies right beneath them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri.jpg\" alt=\"The Cinque Torri rock towers with WWI trenches\" class=\"wp-image-173875\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dolomity-s-detmi-cinque-torri-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Cinque Torri rock towers with WWI trenches (Photo: Clemens Stockner, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole area is essentially a <strong>huge open-air World War I museum<\/strong>. Around the rocks and right inside them are carved trenches, gun ports and military bunkers you can wander through freely. <strong>Kids can spend hours running around here<\/strong>, climbing on the rocks and discovering old hideouts, while you settle onto the hut&#8217;s terrace and admire the view. Definitely pack a <strong>small torch<\/strong> in the kids&#8217; backpacks \u2014 they&#8217;ll be thrilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_The_Cortina_Olympia_Trail_Along_the_River\"><\/span>10. The Cortina Olympia Trail Along the River<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you just need to <strong>take a break from climbing<\/strong> and simply go for a stroll. Around Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo runs an <strong>old railway line<\/strong> converted into a perfect cycle path and walking promenade, the so-called <strong>Olympia Trail<\/strong>. It&#8217;s completely flat, the surface is fine gravel or tarmac, and the whole way you walk alongside a wild turquoise river with views of the peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s probably <strong>the safest and most relaxed walk<\/strong> we&#8217;ve discovered here with a pushchair and the dogs. When the kids&#8217; legs get tired, you simply sit on the riverbank, dip your feet in the icy water and just rest. The route is <strong>tens of kilometres long<\/strong>, so you can carve off exactly the chunk that suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_GYG_PLACEHOLDER_0 -->\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

For a quick walk, there&#8217;s the <strong>Calvary loop (Kofelrunde)<\/strong>: a well-maintained path about a kilometre long, practically flat, pushchair-friendly, with little chapels and lovely views over the town&#8217;s rooftops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest draw for kids, though, is <strong>Marinzen<\/strong>. From the centre of Kastelruth, a <strong>small cable car carries you up to the Marinzenalm hut<\/strong> (around 1,500 m), where there&#8217;s a large playground with a long slide, a <strong>petting zoo<\/strong> and a pond.

A great smaller complex is <strong>Acquapura in Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll find indoor heated pools and a paddling pool for the little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re staying in the western part of the range, we warmly recommend driving down a little to the town of <strong>Brixen<\/strong>. There you&#8217;ll find the huge water world <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acquarena.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Acquarena Brixen<\/a>, with several indoor and outdoor pools, <strong>water slides and a big wellness zone for the parents<\/strong>.

Honestly, it annoyed us quite a bit \u2014 they wanted it even when we were riding in the cabin completely alone. When we had several cable cars in a row ahead of us, we preferred to leave K\u00e1ja and Baby resting at the campsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs must <strong>always be on a lead<\/strong> on the mountain trails. Especially on the pastures, like Alpe di Siusi, this is absolutely crucial, because a loose dog could spook the cows or endanger the grazing horses and marmots. The vast majority of cable cars will let you on with a dog without any fuss, usually for a <strong>small fee of around \u20ac3 to \u20ac5<\/strong>. Just keep a muzzle ready in your backpack, as cable car staff occasionally insist on it for the cabin ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for accommodation and restaurants, most mountain huts (rifugi) <strong>welcome dogs on their outdoor terraces<\/strong> and will usually bring them a bowl of water. Inside the restaurant it&#8217;s more case-by-case, but it&#8217;s usually not a problem. With K\u00e1ja and Baby we comfortably walked <strong>part of the Tre Cime route and the valley promenade<\/strong>. One place I definitely wouldn&#8217;t go with a dog is the popular <strong>Lago di Sorapis<\/strong> \u2014 there are several very exposed sections with iron steps and huge crowds, where passing people with a dog is incredibly tricky, so it&#8217;s better to do that trek without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Eat_and_Drink_A_Guide_for_Fussy_Little_Taste_Buds\"><\/span>What to Eat and Drink: A Guide for Fussy Little Taste Buds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest perks of a holiday in Italy is that <strong>just about every child loves the local cuisine<\/strong>.

We absolutely fell in love with <strong>Rifugio Averau<\/strong> near Cinque Torri, where they make incredible homemade pasta, and also <strong>Rifugio Col Pradat<\/strong> in the Alta Badia valley. At both places we were served with a smile, even when Jon\u00e1\u0161ek was having one of his louder moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We always ordered simple <strong>pasta al pomodoro<\/strong> (with tomato sauce) or excellent <strong>pizza<\/strong>. A local classic is the so-called <strong>canederli<\/strong> \u2014 large Tyrolean bread dumplings. As vegetarians, we go for the version <strong>with cheese or herbs<\/strong>, but traditionally they&#8217;re also filled with speck and served in a rich broth or with melted butter. It&#8217;s a proper <strong>calorie bomb<\/strong> that leaves kids with energy to spare after a trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course \u2014 an absolute must and our <strong>daily reward ritual<\/strong> was a proper Italian <strong>gelato<\/strong> down in town, which they make phenomenally well in both Cortina and Ortisei. For toddlers like Jon\u00e1\u0161ek we carried <strong>food pouches and pur\u00e9es<\/strong> up the hills, but at the huts they&#8217;ll happily warm up food you bring or prepare a clean, salt-free broth with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Advice_to_Wrap_Up_Safety_and_What_to_Pack\"><\/span>Practical Advice to Wrap Up: Safety and What to Pack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountains are mountains, and even if you&#8217;re moving around manicured meadows near the huts, <strong>you mustn&#8217;t underestimate the preparation<\/strong>. The weather in the Dolomites can switch from clear skies to a heavy hailstorm <strong>in just twenty minutes<\/strong> \u2014 we&#8217;ve experienced it firsthand many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always, even on the hottest August days, keep a <strong>waterproof layer and a warmer jumper<\/strong> packed for yourself and the kids. The sun in the mountains above 2,000 metres also burns completely differently than at the seaside. We underestimated it on the first day \u2014 <strong>Jon\u00e1\u0161ek was as red as a lobster within an hour<\/strong>, even though we&#8217;d told ourselves it was overcast. <strong>SPF 50 sun cream<\/strong>, good sunglasses and a sun hat are absolute essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for packing, <strong>an off-road pushchair with big air-filled wheels is ideal<\/strong> \u2014 but if you don&#8217;t have one, like us, don&#8217;t despair: even an ordinary folding travel pushchair (a Joolz in our case) <strong>holds up surprisingly well on flat plateaus like Seiser Alm<\/strong>, just don&#8217;t overload it on rougher ground. And if your child tolerates a carrier, bring it \u2014 it opens up more routes. You don&#8217;t need to lug loads of water; at every hut you can buy drinks or have your bottles refilled. <strong>We&#8217;ll definitely head back to the Dolomites with the kids<\/strong> \u2014 once you discover how relaxed it is thanks to the cable cars, you won&#8217;t want to go anywhere else. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Next\"><\/span>Where to Next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dolomites are <strong>close to our hearts<\/strong>, and we&#8217;ve written plenty of other detailed guides about them on the blog.

Can parents who aren&#8217;t trained mountaineers manage the Dolomites with kids?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Definitely yes. Thanks to the extensive network of cable cars that take you up to heights over 2000 meters, you can explore the beautiful flat alpine plateaus without having to climb a single steep hill. The Dolomites are absolutely ideal for out-of-shape parents with children.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779799302001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Can_you_go_around_the_Dolomites_with_a_stroller\"><\/span>2. Can you go around the Dolomites with a stroller?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, but you need to choose your routes carefully. A pram paradise is the Alpe di Siusi plateau, lakeside promenades (Lago di Carezza) and valley paths \u2014 even a regular folding pushchair can handle these flat sections. For rougher terrain, an all-terrain buggy with large wheels is better, and for narrower mountain trails you&#8217;ll need a baby carrier (if your child tolerates it).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779799302002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Are_mountain_huts_prepared_for_children\"><\/span>3. Are mountain huts prepared for children?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Most mountain huts (rifugi) cater to families during the main summer season. They typically have high chairs available, will happily warm up baby food you bring, or offer children&#8217;s menus (soups, pasta). Many of them also have outdoor playgrounds with sandboxes and climbing frames.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779799302003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_to_Pack_for_Kids_on_a_Hike\"><\/span>4. What to Pack for Kids on a Hike?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The key is layering. Even in August, the weather in the mountains can change in a flash. Pack a quality waterproof jacket, fleece sweater, sturdy shoes, but also a sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen with SPF 50, because the mountain sun burns incredibly strong even through clouds. A baby carrier is also handy (if your child tolerates it) and plenty of snacks for older kids to keep them motivated.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779799302004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Do_you_need_to_book_accommodation_in_the_Dolomites_in_advance\"><\/span>5. Do you need to book accommodation in the Dolomites in advance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nDefinitely yes. If you&#8217;re planning a trip for July or August, book your accommodation ideally already in January or at the latest in spring. The Italian Alps are very busy in summer and quality family apartments close to the cable cars disappear first.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779799302005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Can_dogs_go_on_cable_cars_and_treks_in_the_Dolomites\"><\/span>6. Can dogs go on cable cars and treks in the Dolomites?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nYes, most cable cars will allow you with your dog (often for a small fee) and in national parks you can walk with your dog without any problems, only it is mandatory to keep them on a leash at all times. For cable cars, it&#8217;s always better to pack a muzzle in your backpack as well.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1779799302006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_do_cable_cars_cost_in_the_Dolomites\"><\/span>How much do cable cars cost in the Dolomites?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Cable cars aren&#8217;t exactly cheap. A return ticket for an adult typically costs between 25 and 40 euros depending on the length of the cable car. Children up to a certain age (often up to 6 or 8 years old) usually travel free or with a significant discount, but this may vary slightly between specific operators. If you&#8217;re planning to ride a lot, it&#8217;s worth considering multi-day passes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dolomites in Italy with kids are one of the best destinations in the Alps \u2014 this year we went for the first time with our two-year-old and tested everything from pushchairs to cable cars.
