The name – Enrosadira – is Ladin (a language spoken by roughly 30,000 in this mountainous region) for ‘those brief, fleeting moments in which the sky seems to light up and catch fire among the peaks of the Dolomites’.
Those same peaks make a beautiful backdrop for this hotel and you can enjoy lovely views from the large terrace.

Reviews
Add your own reviewclassic dolomites
Overall an excellent experience, headquartered in Campitello de Fassa. Accommodations/food was very good. Hiking all fun. Great leaders.
My only recommendation would be the city busses were not timely, and they were full at times; having been cut back from the summer schedule..
It would be worth a few extra $ to have private transportation in the morning to the hike/gondola site.
Most Inspirational Moment
Probably first day experiencing Marmolada on a beautiful sunny day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both Jenny and Pol were excellent
Advice for Potential Travellers
be prepared with rain gear.
Amazing hikes in beautiful Dolomites
We had a wonderful week hiking in the Dolomites. The level 3 hikes were challenging with excellent guidance by our leaders. Excellent service and food at the hotel. Fun group of hikers. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leaders, Jen and Pol were outstanding. Each of them offered individual guidance and helped meet the needs of each traveler.
Stunning views & exceptional guides
This is my first Exodus trip and certainly exceeded my expectations. Initially I thought 20 people would be too big of a group, but it didn’t feel like that at all. I particularly enjoyed the fact that there were two guides and each day, we had the option to choose a moderate or a challenging walk.
Great itinerary and we got to see some of the most stunning views!
The only feedback I have is to have a private transfer arranged in the mornings where we have to catch buses. The public buses were never on time or were too full by the time it reaches us which causes delays in starting our day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leaders Jen & Pol were excellent and very professional. They tackled each problem calmly (particularly we started off with a virus in the water) and ensure everyone is safe. We were a big group with very diverse levels, both guides took the time to find routes each day to suit the different groups. Big thanks to them for making this trip an unforgetable one.
Amazing trip
It was my first multi-day hiking adventure, and initially, I hesitated, unsure if it was the right choice for a beginner like me. However, it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful experience. Thanks to our exceptional guides, Rob and Jenny, along with a fantastic group of fellow travelers, this journey became truly unforgettable. A heartfelt THANK YOU to Rob and Jenny for their expertise, knowledge, unwavering support, and uplifting encouragement.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Rob and Jenny are absolutely amazing! Without Rob's unwavering support and encouragement, I wouldn't have had the courage to attempt the Level 5 hike. His presence made me feel completely safe and well-guided throughout. As for Jenny, she was my go-to person for any questions or assistance I needed. Her genuine commitment to helping and supporting every participant made it feel like she was there just for you. They both played crucial roles in making this adventure so memorable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't hesitate, simply book the trip, and you're in for an incredible journey.
Wonderful part of the world

Thoughts on Group Leader
Jen was a great team leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
A brilliant trip in a fantastic part of the world, just enjoy it.
Highlights of the Dolomites
This was by far one of the best trips I have been on. Hiking the Dolomites is challenging, but the hikes chosen gave us spectacular views and I highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys a challenging hike. We had 19 hikers, 6 from the USA and 13 from the UK. EVERYONE got along. We all talked with different group members all day long.
Most Inspirational Moment
The spectacular views, being out in the fresh air and just taking in the panoramic views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jenny Smith was our group leader, and she was the quide I hiked with daily. She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, let us know exactly what to expect each day and had a great sense of humor. She was patient, wanted us to have a wonderful hike and talked with everyone. She was very easy to talk to and she was enjoyable to spend the day with. She also made sure we knew what was available to us on our day off and how to get there. She is incredible fit and made sure everyone felt safe with the challenging parts of the hikes. When one of the hikers slipped, she was right there to help out.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You need to be in good shape. The views are simply amazing.
Massive Hailstones
The Dolomites are special. Even when we were caught out by thunderstorms with massive hailstones on two days the enjoyment wasn’t diminished. The choice of walks ensured that we enjoyed a variety of views of a unique area.
Most Inspirational Moment
Going up Piz Boe with some of the other walkers who were nervous of the cables but thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paul, who I've walked with was his usual extremely competent leader. He didn't hesitate to discuss options with us to cope with some weather difficulties. He provided some good information including telling folk tales including some singing!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure that you have really good waterproofs as the weather can change extremely quickly.

A very good trip. Scenery magnificent , explored well by both grades of walk. Walk routes well devised using a good network of cable cars, chair lifts and local buses and lovely mountain refuge stops. Family run hotel, so friendly, helpful, very clean, good choice of food. The holiday was made by the two fantastic guides- Jenny and Alejandro – professional, caring, knowledgeable, fun, encouraging and very capable.
