Dolomites

Take me there

some of the most beautiful mountain landscapes anywhere…

UNESCO World Heritage

The Dolomites, impressive and majestic, and unlike anywhere else in the European Alps.

Situated in the northeastern Italy, the Dolomites is home to the romance language Lardin, a cultural legacy of the Roman Empire. Italian and German are also commonly spoken throughout the Dolomites.

The northern part, bordering Austria, was a notable site of WWI, referred to as the first 'vertical war' during the treacherous years of 1915-1918.  Many of the rock tunnels and trenches exist today, serving as war memorials and testimony to the events.

The Dolomites of today is towering walls of rock, adjoined by rolling of alpine pastures, alpine lakes, and lots of adventure.
