About Dolomites
The Dolomites are among the world's most photogenic mountains. Pale limestone peaks rise almost vertically from green valleys. The famous Tre Cime hike offers views of towering rock walls. The Via Ferrata climbing routes were originally World War One supply paths. Alpine huts dot the landscape, offering rustic hospitality. In autumn, the mountains glow with Larch tree gold. The culture is distinctly Austro-Italian — a blend of two worlds.
