ARRIVE, SETTLE, AND BEGIN
We can’t wait to head into the mountains with you
The countdown is on, and we’re so excited to welcome you to Mountain Mastery! It’s going to be an unforgettable journey of nature, elevation, and transformation. We’ll all be on the same flight, so we’ll gather at the airport before departure. We’ll create a WhatsApp group with all participants a week before the retreat. In there, we’ll share everything you need to know: - What to expect - Which mountains we’ll hike (we confirm this a few days in advance, based on the weather) - Local conditions - Final reminders We’re here to make sure you feel fully prepared and excited. Let the adventure begin, see you in the Dolomites!
What to Pack for the Dolomites
This is a mountain experience, expect fresh air, changing weather, and movement. Here’s what we recommend: Essentials - Hiking shoes (mid-ankle or higher with good grip) - Breathable sportswear (layers work best) - Lightweight down or insulated jacket - Rain jacket or shell (weather can shift quickly in the mountains) - Small Backpack for your daily hikes - Sunglasses & sunscreen (UV is stronger at altitude) - Hat/cap (for sun protection) - Reusable water bottle - Swimwear
How to Prepare
Step Into the Journey
- Train your legs. If possible, take a few brisk walks or hikes before arriving. It’ll help your body adjust to elevation and movement. - Break in your boots. New hiking shoes? Wear them a few times before the retreat to avoid blisters. - Hydrate well. In the days leading up, drink plenty of water, altitude can be dehydrating. - Pack light but smart. Layers are key. The weather can swing from sunny to misty, and we’ll be outdoors a lot.
