The Dolomites

The beauty of the Dolomites cannot be described with mere words. The karstified peaks and pinnacles must be experienced up close to comprehend their fascination. Get up close and personal with the "Pale Mountains" on a leisurely hike for the whole family in Val d'Ega, exploring the adventurous via ferratas and steep climbing walls at the foot of the Three Peaks, or enjoying a bike tour on the Kronplatz. The Dolomites get their nickname (the "Pale Mountains") from their whitish colour. If you can't get enough of the Dolomites, we recommend spending several days hiking through the mighty rocky landscape, exploring the Dolorama Trail, the Dolomites UNESCO Geotrail, and the famous Dolomites High Routes. If you look closely, you might even discover a small fossil along the way, dating from the time when today's mountain peaks were still part of a large tropical sea. The 280-million-year-old spires and towers are particularly impressive at dawn and in the evening sun, when they are bathed in a glowing red light, known as "Enrosadira". The culture of the Dolomites is as varied and impressive as the landscapes. Not only have centuries-old traditions and customs been passed down in the narrow mountain valleys, but Ladin is also the oldest language in the region.

Would you like a slice of mild cow's milk cheese? Spicy Speck smoked ham from the farm? Or a hand-woven woolen blanket? Find a wide range of local, high-quality foods and handcrafted articles for daily use in the Dolomites Region 3 Peaks, as in the rest of South Tyrol. Lots of producers sell straight from the farm where you can sample the treats and get to know the producers. In this way, you will experience moments of delicious flavour as well as  gaining exciting insider knowledge about the cultivation and processing. With a bit of luck, you can even look over the shoulders of craftsmen at work as they create jewellery, wooden sculptures and baskets while strolling through the village. In any case, there is a long tradition of making things yourself in South Tyrol. High quality and durability are the primary factors, which are achieved through the use of proprietary manufacturing techniques and high-quality raw materials. This allows us to create products that are only available here.

During  guided hiking, wildlife viewing and adventure tours,  guides and other experts from the Nature Park House share their exciting insights into the nature conservation areas in South Tyrol. With games, fun and fresh air, the whole family can learn more about the history and geology of the nature parks and the national park.
