Italian Connection now has a new option on their Dolomites (Italian Alps) tours.  Travelers can hike along the Via Ferrata or the Iron Way, a narrow footpath, 7,000 feet high, with iron cables that you clip onto with a cord. The Iron Way is distinctive to the Dolomites. It was put in place during the First World War in order to get troops and supplies through impassable mountain terrain. Hike here and you’ve earned your grappa. Their next trip is in September, so the time to book is now.
