Join us as we chat with our friends, South Tyrol specialists Kate and Vin from Throne and Vine, a website focused on the South Tyrol region, about what to expect if you want to go hiking in the Dolomites.

Hiking in the Dolomites: Wandering, Wine and Wonderful Views

The Seven Summits is the ultimate mountaineering challenge. To stand on the highest peak on each of the seven continents is a feat only a handful of people  have ever achieved. Rebecca Stephens MBE is the first British woman to do so. She&#39;s also the first British woman to summit Everest, and she&#39;s going to be taking us step-by-step up every single one of those climbs. Are you ready to stand on the roof of the world? Let&#39;s go. But this story is about more than just mountaineering.

Since completing the Seven Summits, back in 1994, Rebecca has spoken and coached all over the world. Her &#39;Seven Summits of Success&#39; have helped individuals and businesses all over the world achieve their goals.  We&#39;re going to climb Everest, Denali, Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro and all the rest.

Highlights include:<li>Climbing Mount Everest with the first British woman to summit, feeling what it&#39;s like to stand on top of the world</li><li>Scaling Denali, the highest mountain in North America, after being trapped in a snow cave for eight days in one of the worst storms the mountain&#39;s ever seen</li><li>Reaching the summit of Acongagua, in Argentina, whilst battling 100mph&#43; winds</li><li>Standing on the top of Mount Vinson, in Antarctica, Kilimanjaro, in Africa, Cartenz Pyramid, in Indonesia, and Elbrus, in Russia</li><li>Discovering the wisdom of the world&#39;s highest mountains - each of the Seven Summits has something unique to teach us, and Rebecca has been sharing those lessons for more than a quarter of a century</li><li>Be inspired to scale your own summits, whatever they may be</li>“The joy of the mountains is they strip away any superficialities revealing that which matters: namely head, heart, and values.   There’s no greater teacher of the human condition, of leadership and of working together as a team.” - Rebecca StephensWho&#39;s the guest?
