In the eastern section of the northern Italian Alps, the Dolomites mountain range is universally heralded as one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Europe. Distinctive for their pale grey limestone hue, sharp peaks and intimidating clusters of jagged rock, they were formed approximately 200 million years ago. It was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009. Encompassing an area of 141,903 hectares and 18 peaks which rise to above 3,000 metres, 'The Dolomites' stretch across three Italian regions (Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige / Südtirol (South Tyrol), and Friuli Venezia Giulia). Therefore, it isn't just to view these mountains that one travels here, it's to bask in the way the cliffs play off the pastures and meadows, the valleys and villages, the roads and the rivers, creating an inimitable alpine symphony in northern Italy.
