Choosing a holiday in the Dolomites mountains means spending a happy, relaxing period on the most spectacular mountains in all of Europe.
And it’s not for nothing. The Dolomites are the diamond point of the Alps, the place where the mountains meet the Po Valley and the Adriatic Sea. Mountains that are bursting with bright personality and an immense sense of peace and wellbeing.
From the Belluno Dolomites to the Ampezzo Dolomites, from the Agordo Dolomites to the Val Gardena Dolomites, and without forgetting the Eggental Dolomites, the landscape of the Dolomites is unrivalled.
Also famous are the Dolomites’ skiing zones, resorts that offer state-of-the-art facilities, thanks to which it will always be a pleasure to spend a ski holiday on the Dolomites. A holiday on the Dolomites allows you to enjoy magic landscapes both on foot and by bike, using cableways, or going around the famous mountain passes by car, admiring the Dolomites Valleys.

But, other than being famous all over the world for its natural wonders, a holiday in the Dolomites also allows you to reach places that are both rich in history and cultural interest, for example in Trento. It’s one of Italy’s hidden gems, a very beautiful city that offers the chance to visit the majestic castles in the surrounding area.
In just a few hours you can also reach Venice, the wonderful city of canals, gondolas, and marvelous buildings, a place that certainly doesn’t need its own introduction.

As well as forming the eastern mountain range of the Alps, the Dolomites are included in Unesco’s World Heritage List, an important recognition of its 141,903 hectares, three regions (Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige), and some five provinces (Udine, Pordenone, Belluno, Trento, and Bolzano) that offer 18 mountaintops overlooking over 3000 meters of altitude.

The Italian Dolomites rouse strong emotions
To better define the beauty of the Italian Dolomites it’s necessary to borrow Le Corbusier’s definition, one of the most famous architects of the 20th century who calls Italy’s Dolomites “the most beautiful architectural work in the world”.
The Dolomites’ natural wonder sees important mountain groups like the ones formed between Latemar and the Catinaccio Dolomites, between Trentino and Alto Adige, the mountain ranges of the Brenta Dolomites, from the Pala Group to the Sexten Dolomites, without then forgetting the group composed of Lago, Croda, and Pelmo, the imposing range of the Marmolada, and then finally the eastern part consisting of the Friuli Dolomites.
The Tre Cime di Lavaredo Dolomites are undoubtably the most famous group of the Sexten Dolomites, which are universally considered to be one of the natural wonders, other than being very famous and well-renowned in the world of mountaineering. Accessible by the Sextental, the Toblach (Dobbiaco), Auronzo di Cadore and Lake Misurina, they are home to some of the most beautiful sights the Alps has to offer.
When admiring the Dolomites - that owe their name to Déodat (o Dieudonné) de Dolomieu, the famous French geologist who discovered the properties of its rock, the dolomite - it’s almost incredible to think that everything you can see today was once a sea bed.
In fact, over 250 million years ago the Dolomites were submerged by the sea, a panorama of algae, coral, and shells. Approximately 70 million years ago they emerged from these depths, becoming the wonder that everyone admires today, as well as representing a magnificent, geological, and fossil-rich treasure dating back to the Mesozoic Era.
Italy’s Dolomites therefore offer a magnificent panorama of pinnacles and towers, soaring peaks, Karst systems, glaciers, rock walls, elements that were all shaped by the force of atmospheric agents.
