Reinhold Messner described them as the most beautiful mountains in the world (and we agree with it).
In 2009 the Dolomites were declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Rugged peaks with an extraordinary variety of shapes, gentle hills and deep valleys meet in a unique way and result in a mountain landscape of exceptional beauty and high recreational value that is incomparable worldwide.
A unique spectacle is also the so-called "nrosadura", when the "pale mountains" turn bright red at sunrise and sunset, a perfect photo for your holiday album.
UNESCO World Heritage has a special value for mankind and is protected to preserve this invaluable value, which locals and guests alike should maintain with great respect and environmental awareness on a daily basis.
