The Dolomites

For all practical purposes are part of the Alps, the Dolomites but nevertheless can be considered the other side of the mountain range that represents the northern Italian border.
To support this diversity are the rocks that form the dolomite so named in honor of French Dolomieu who was the first to identify and its unique landscape that touches Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto, only to be seen as a dedicated state: the Great Road of the Dolomites, one of the first and oldest tourist routes of the Old Continent that, today, in times of increased tourism will be crowded with cars, motorcycles, campers and trailers that are not afraid to go up to 2000 meters to admire the stunning peaks notes: dressed in snow in winter (and very popular for skiing and skiing); riot of colors green and fabulous in the summer when it's easy to find oneself in a row along the paths toward the Pale di San Martino and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.

Everything about the Dolomia
