Majestic, splendid, monumental: you can only think of superlatives when trying to describe in a word the Dolomites.

Dream peaks and mountains of this grand Nature miracle are covered in thousand shades of colors during summertime, while in winter, Dolomites are dressed with white snow, glowing under the sun and the blue sky. And then Alpine lakes like Tovel and Braies as green as emeralds. Everywhere charming little frescoed churches, abbeys and convents, turretted castles, huts and green pastures, expanses of wild flowers, the background sound just the wind, carrying children's laughters and the tinckle of the cow-bells.

Enchanted valleys, dotted with fairy-tale villages, alternates one mountain pass after other, each valley custodian of an old culture, a peculiar folklore and an ancient language, the Ladin. Cuisine offers formidable dishes and local wines are hardly less so: the reds Schiava and Lagrein and the aromatic and fruity whites like the Müller-Thurgau and the Gewürztraminer.

Welcome to the kingdom of mountains: Dolomites, a rhapsody of nature, culture, great food and welcoming people.
