Trip Highlights
Explore the soaring peaks and secluded valleys of the Dolomites— one of the World's most stunning UNESCO World Heritage treasures.
Hike legendary routes like Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Cinque Torri, and Piz Boé—destinations that belong on every traveler’s must-do list.
- Stay in charming mountain hotels serving delicious local cuisine, all paired with sweeping alpine views.
- Capture the magic of Italy’s most spectacular alpine landscapes while carrying only a light daypack—your heavier luggage is transported from lodge to lodge for you.
This Wilderness Medicine CME adventure begins in the alpine town of Cortina d’Ampezzo, where a warm welcome and towering peaks set the tone for an unforgettable journey. Early highlights include the legendary Tre Cime di Lavaredo, peaceful forest climbs, and wide ridgelines that open into sweeping views of the valley. With expert local guides and charming hotels throughout, every day blends natural beauty with comfort and ease.
As the trip unfolds, the terrain becomes even more spectacular. We'll explore the historic trenches of Cinque Torri, traverse the vast Puez–Odle plateau, and circle the dramatic Sassolungo massif along the scenic Friedrich August trail. Each hike reveals a new side of the Dolomites, from turquoise alpine lakes to rugged rock spires rising straight out of the meadows.
The final days bring some of the most memorable moments, including the famous Viel del Pan trail with its unmatched views of Marmolada, the highest peak in the Dolomites. This historic balcony path ties together everything that makes the region extraordinary: grand scenery, rich history, and a feeling of pure alpine magic. Thoughtfully designed and filled with bucket-list highlights, this journey truly stands out as a trip of a lifetime.

Testimonials From Your Colleagues
The CME portion of our trip was fantastic. Karen is so incredibly knowledgeable and presented the information clearly and succinctly. In addition, she was such a fun person to meet and share this adventure trip.
An outstanding trip. All of our needs were taken care of
Faculty was engaging and interactive, topics were interesting and information presented was useful. Informal wilderness setting enhanced the CME experience. An outstanding CME event.
Another great trip with Bio Bio — wonderful location, wonderful people and awesome program.
Amazing trip! Everything was perfectly planned and carried out. The people who helped us were exceptional. We can't wait to use BioBio again!
Know this is not for those seeking a leisurely walk and gentle float. During the trek you will end each day exhausted — exactly the way it should be! It is an amazing trek through a lightly traveled part of the world. Great guides and crew. Do it!
I had an amazing time, great staff, great safety and training. Food was fantastic. Love the base camp location. It was magical.
Informative and inspirational. I left thinking of additional ways to make a difference. Excellent review of wilderness medical problems and how to respond to them.
Practical. Fun. Some of the most useful information and learning I've had in a CME course in a long time. Thank you! (BTW, have already told multiple colleagues and will be back next year!)
I enjoyed myself immensely and loved every moment of the experience. I want to compliment you on the organization of the week. Everything went off perfectly, which speaks of all the planning you did to make this course a wonderful success.
