The impressive mountains of the Dolomites, or Dolomiten are spread
across the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige e il Veneto. The
Marmolada is, with its 3.342 m, the highest peak of the
Dolomites. Another extraordinary mountain range are the ?3
pinnacles of Laveredo in the Dolomites of Sesto. The mysterious
landscape of the Dolomites is characterised of wide, peaceful
pastures with rough reefs of limestone in higher altitudes. The
mountain peaks reach an average height of 3.000 to 3.200 m, and
often end in flat platforms. The only, still existing glacier is
the Marmoladaglacier. Spend your holiday in the Dolomites and
explore the magnificent nature choosing between a large number
of footpaths, hiking paths, and climbing trails of different
level of difficulty. The breathtaking landscape is a real
paradise for friends of hiking, climbing and for mountain bike
freaks. Choose from many picturesque, small villages situated in
the idyllic valleys, surrounded by the massive mountains for
