The Dolomites

Five days hut-to-hut through the Rosengarten, Italy

We became a little family.

Five days, four nights, three mountain huts, and one proposal at sunset. We started at a hotel at the foot of the Sciliar and walked up into the Rosengarten, past turquoise lakes and under the Vajolet Towers, shooting as we went. We shared how we actually work, gave everyone real time to create, and somewhere between the first cable car and the last descent, a group of strangers turned into a little family.

Where we stayed

The proposal

On our final hut night, with the sun going down behind the Vajolet Towers, one of our creators got down on one knee and asked his girlfriend to marry him. She said yes. Elias had been quietly helping him plan it for days, and the rest of us got to be right there for it. A Hike & Create first, and a moment none of us will forget.
