With such a picturesque backdrop, it’s no surprise that the Dolomites have become such a popular destination for wellness retreats and spa vacations. There are many incredibly designed resorts around the Dolomites so if you’re looking for stand-out accommodation, there is plenty to choose from. Many of the lodges have facilities to bring the outdoors in – like saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs.
As well as jagged peaks and soaring mountains, the Dolomites also feature some of, arguably, the most breathtaking and crystal-clear lakes on Earth. What makes them even more striking is the contrast in color – the green hills and the azure waters are memorable in every sense. Lake Molveno lies at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites in Trentino. You can hire a boat here and take to the waters. Whether it’s a rowboat, motor or paddle boat, spend the afternoon embracing the reflections on the lake. Lago di Braies is also worth visiting and rowing out on – equally beautiful and romantic.
A project that was built between 1963 and 1965, the Dolomites cable car lift offers unparalleled views of the landscape from the highest peak – Marmalada. From the top, a 360-degree view can be admired, often accompanied by a layer of untouched snow and bright blue skies. Among the cable car, the area surrounding the Dolomites is well serviced by public transport and hiking trails, so you can comfortably explore on your own, or with a private guide which we can organize.
During the winter months – between late November and early April – the Dolomite mountains and alps become a haven for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this area is enjoyed for leisure, yet preserved as best as possible. There are various resorts – around 12 in total – but arguably the best and largest in this region is Val Gardena (Gröden). Logistics including ski passes, rentals and lifts are reliable, and the region is enjoyed by both locals and tourists alike.
The landscape of the Dolomites is arguably one of the most dramatic in all of Italy. It’s a region that attracts thousands of photographers – both professional and amatueur. The sharp mountain peaks and the verdant forests below make for the perfect shot. Although imagery of the Dolomites is usually flawless, conditions in the Alps and among the mountains can be tricky for photographers and snowstorms and strong winds are common during the winter months, so make sure you are prepared when it comes to your camera equipment and clothing.
The Dolomites are breathtaking, and arguably one of the most awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage landscapes in Italy. What better way to experience it than from the sky? For those who are looking for an unforgettable experience in northern Italy, book a helicopter ride over the Dolomites. With a maximum of 6 passengers (you can also request a private experience), you’ll enjoy panoramic views over the mountain peaks and turquoise lakes.
One of the great things about the Dolomites is that they can be enjoyed year-round. During the spring and summer months – anywhere from May/June to September – you can walk, hike and cycle around the trails and mountains. There are many hiking trails and routes to follow. The summer months here are cooler in temperature than other areas in Italy because of the altitude, often reaching a maximum of around 77°F. The winter months, often between late November and early April, are the best time to visit the Dolomites for skiing, and enjoying other winter activities.
