The Dolomites - Paradise at Your Feet

If you haven't decided on where to travel this holiday, consider the Dolomites!

The Dolomites are a mountain range in Italy. It was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. The Dolomites are part of the Alps, stretching from the Adige River to the Piave River valley. This mountain range has a total area of about 141,900 hectares. It has 18 peaks over 3,000 metres high. It is easy to get access to most parts of the Dolomites.

The Dolomites are a majestic site. They are widely regarded as being among the most attractive mountain landscapes in the world. There are steep rocky cliffs, sharp peaks, narrow and deep valleys, and white snow on the mountain top. Their natural scenery attracts tourists from many parts of the world.

The Dolomites are a popular place for winter skiing, mountain climbing, hiking, and cycling any time of the year. An annual bicycle race covering seven mountain passes on the Dolomites occurs in the first week of July.
