mountainsnaturefoodwildcalm

The Dolomites are pale limestone peaks in north-eastern Italy, a UNESCO site with some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe. In summer they are a paradise for hiking and via ferrata; in winter, the Dolomiti Superski area is one of the largest in the world.

What to see and do in the Dolomites

  1. Tre Cime di Lavaredo

  2. Seceda and Val Gardena

    Jagged ridges above alpine meadows, reached by cable car from Ortisei.

  3. Lago di Braies

    An emerald lake with wooden rowing boats, busiest in the middle of the day.

  4. Alpe di Siusi

    Europe's largest high alpine meadow, perfect for easy walks with big views.

    The elegant resort town, co-host of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
