Holiday in Dolomites

About Dolomites

The Dolomites are one of the most spectacular mountain ranges on Earth — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009, their pale rock towers, rugged ridges, and vertical walls rise like a cathedral of stone above green alpine meadows, dark coniferous forests, and turquoise-blue mountain lakes. The Tre Cime di Lavaredo are the landmark of the Dolomites: three massive rock pillars that rise up to 2,999 meters and whose north faces drop 500 meters vertically, forming one of the most famous mountain motifs in the world. The circuit around the Tre Cime is one of the most popular hikes in the Alps — about ten kilometers through a high mountain landscape that impresses in any weather. Lake Braies, nestled between steep Dolomite walls, shimmers in an unreal emerald green that changes from turquoise to dark green depending on the light. The Seceda plateau above the Val Gardena offers a view with its bizarre rock needles against the backdrop of the Geisler group that seems almost otherworldly. The Sella Ronda connects four valleys and four passes around the Sella massif as a legendary ski circuit — a paradise for road cyclists in summer. The via ferratas of the Dolomites have a long tradition: already in World War I, paths were carved into the rock walls, and today routes like the Ivano-Dibona or the Peace Paths form a network of secured routes for experienced mountaineers. In winter, the Dolomites transform into one of the largest ski areas in the world: Dolomiti Superski connects 12 ski regions with over 1,200 kilometers of slopes. The South Tyrolean huts are a chapter in themselves: over 1,700 alpine pastures and mountain huts serve speck, dumplings, Schlutzkrapfen, and Kaiserschmarrn — mountain cuisine that tastes twice as good after a summit tour.
