What to see
The Dolomites are widely regarded as being among the most attractive mountain landscapes in the world. Their intrinsic beauty is derived from a variety of spectacular vertical forms such as pinnacles and towers, with contrasting horizontal surfaces including a high density of narrow, deep and long valleys such as Val Gardena. A great diversity of colours is provided by the contrasts between the bare pale-coloured rock surfaces and the forests and meadows below.
The Dolomites include several peaks with distinctive shapes and some of the highest mountains in the range.
Forests and meadows support a breathtaking richness of wildlife in the region.
The landscape is coloured by coniferous forests, crocuses, edelweiss, rhododendron, lilies and alpine bluebells. The Dolomites are still a refuge for many wild animals, including royal eagles, woodcock, chamois and roe deer.
