The Constructors Guild™ presents:
The Guild's Odyssey
DOLOMITI
The Founder's Expedition
Cortina d'Ampezzo, Belluno Italia - September 17th to 25th, 2025
Why The Guild's Odyssey was created:There’s a moment no one prepares you for.It doesn’t happen when you win the contract, hit the revenue goal, or get the recognition you once dreamed of. It happens after—in the quiet, when the noise fades and you finally ask yourself:
“Why don’t I feel what I thought I would?”I’ve lived most of my life in construction—on-site, in the boardroom, building something that mattered. I led crews, owned a firm, made a name. But behind the success was another truth:
I was tired. Unfulfilled. Pulled in every direction except the one that led back to myself.It wasn’t burnout. It was disconnection.
From nature. From presence. From my own breath.
From the part of me that still believed in adventure, meaning, and something deeper than output.And then came the mountains.The Dolomites didn’t fix me—but they found me.
They stripped away the noise.
They reminded me what awe feels like.
And they gave me space to remember who I was before I became who I had to be.That’s why I created the Guild’s Odyssey.
Not as a travel package.
But as a rite of passage.For people like us—accomplished, respected, responsible—who still feel incomplete.Because if you’ve ever felt the pull toward something more…
If you’ve ever wondered where your wonder went…
If you’ve ever looked around at everything you’ve built and quietly thought, “Now what?”
—then this is your call to summit.Come walk beside me.
Let the trail undo you in all the right ways.
And return with something success could never give you:Yourself.—Gianluca Pascale, Your Host and Head Curator of the Constructors Guild™
An Adventure Like No Other:
Imagine this:Waking up to the scent of alpine air. Boots laced. Pack light. Heart lighter.By day, you hike ancient trails carved through the limestone giants of the Dolomites. You traverse ridgelines, drink from glacier-fed streams, and pause to soak in panoramas that remind you what awe feels like.By night, you gather in rustic mountain huts—rifugi—where wine, laughter, and reflection flow easily.These aren’t tourist trails. And this isn’t a retreat.It’s a journey that asks everything of you—and in return, gives you something you didn’t know you’d lost.Expect deep challenge, soft landings, and space to remember who you are when the noise falls away.
An small circle. A deep connection.
This is not a group tour. It’s a guided rite of passage—limited to just 8 participants.Why? Because depth needs space.This size allows us to move as one, share openly, and form bonds that go far beyond the trail.Every person on this journey matters.
Every conversation carries weight.
Every step is walked together.
The path ahead: what you will experience:
This isn’t a vacation. It’s a 9-day, 8-night expedition—carefully designed to push you, hold you, and bring you back to yourself.Here’s how it unfolds:Trail Days That Strip the Noise
Hike through towering limestone peaks, ridgelines, and valleys carved by time. These are not strolls—they’re physical invitations to drop the mask and meet yourself on the mountain.Rifugi: Soulful Shelter in the Sky
Cozy, communal mountain huts perched high in the clouds. Expect simple food, hearty laughs, fireside conversations, and deep rest.One Day On, One Day Off
We’ve built in space. Every high-output trail day is followed by a softer recovery day—designed to let your body heal and your mind process what’s shifting inside.Founder-Led Fireside Dialogues
Each night we’ll gather—not for lectures, but for real, grounded conversations. What’s heavy. What’s real. What’s ready to be let go. No titles. Just truth.Cultural Immersion, Italian Style
You’ll not only move through the Dolomites—you’ll taste them, speak them, breathe them. From alpine cheese to Italian hospitality, this is immersion, not tourism.
Our Lodging:
Nights will be spent in cozy rifugi, traditional mountain huts nestled high in the Dolomites. These huts, with their warm wood interiors and rustic charm, are more than just a place to sleep—they are a refuge, a sanctuary from the day’s adventures. After a day of exploring the rugged trails and peaks, you’ll return to the simple comforts of the rifugi, where the crackle of a fireplace and the aroma of home-cooked meals welcome you inside.Each morning, you’ll wake up to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, the cool alpine air filling your lungs as the sun rises over the peaks. After a hearty breakfast prepared with fresh, local ingredients, you’ll lace up your boots and set out on a new day of discovery.In the evenings, you’ll gather with fellow adventurers around communal tables, sharing stories, laughter, and a well-earned meal. The rifugi foster a sense of connection, not just with nature, but with the people around you, creating an intimate and shared experience that will form lasting memories.Imagine the sound of the wind outside, the quiet hum of conversation, and the feeling of being truly present in the moment—no distractions, just the rhythm of the mountains and the warmth of the hut. Here, at the end of each day, you’ll feel a deep sense of restoration and peace, knowing that this is exactly where you’re meant to be.
