The Dolomites in South Tyrol
Nature puts its best face forward here in the heart of the
Alps.
Surrounded by steep rock faces and impressive peaks, gentle
lowlands nestle in the midst of a rock mass that over the
years has become famous well beyond the borders of this
country – the Dolomites.
The variety of species of flora and fauna that singles out
this unique holiday region, its imposing mountain scenery
and, in comparison with the northern Alps, the comparatively
mild climate, make the Dolomites area one of the best loved
holiday regions in South Tyrol. Enjoy romantic walks through
lush green meadows, leisurely rambles
between
alpine huts, or climb from the picturesque valleys up to the
legendary mountaintops – a dream for every hiker, clamberer
and climber. Alongside numerous additional sports and
leisure activities such as mountain biking, tennis, swimming
or paragliding, the realm of the “Pale Mountains” offers
plenty to interest its visitors, above all in winter. For
those who are not afraid of a bit of physical activity in
the colder months of the year, this is exactly the right
place. Snow-lovers can let off steam by cross country
skiing, alpine skiing or snowboarding. And for those who
prefer tobogganing, there are several enticing toboggan runs
available. Those who prefer to take things a bit more easily
can enjoy the unique beauty of the area on wonderful back
country skiing tours in the snowy winter landscape – an
ideal chance to forget everyday life and to leave your cares
behind you.
And if, with such a varied range of activities, you still
have
some free time to find out about South Tyrolean culture,
then there are some really special features. Above all,
you’ll be enchanted by the Ladin people with their friendly
manner and ancient language. The Ladin people are one of the
oldest and smallest linguistic groups in the province.
All in all the Dolomite holiday region offers its guests a
varied and interesting range of holiday activities all year
round. Sporty types, guests looking to relax and culture
lovers will feel right at home here in the midst of the
breathtaking Dolomites scenery.
