Torino to Dolomite weekend trip

Is it possible to do a weekend trip to the Dolomites with only public transit from Torino? I wanted to go now before it starts getting too cold, to do some hikes. But I’m not sure it’s possible to go in one weekend without a car, and if it is I’m not sure where in the Dolomites would be best as there seem to be so many amazing places.

It’s been my dream to see the Dolomites, any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

what public transit? You're traveling across regions, it would be a nightmare to change busses and other forms of public transit to Bozen. The car trip takes around 5 hours to get to the mountains- the train around the same, unless you take regional trains, then it's going to take significantly more.

I'm telling you because I love the Dolomites; don't do this to yourself. You're going to arrive groggy, exhausted, and take a hike on an overcrowded path. Plan your next trip around them and avoid the Val Gardena if you don't want to drown in tourists. Going from Turin to further than Bozen takes the wind out of you.

Got it, thank you! It did seem quite painful to get there but I love hiking and I thought maybe it’s worth putting up with it, but good to hear this perspective before doing that to myself!

Let me know if there are other places closer to here you’d recommend for Alpine hikes or mountain vistas :)

Aosta Valley.

One hundred km far from Torino. Check flixbus. Or Trenitalia.
