A few words about the Dolomites, a top skiing destination in Italy
Before being named the "Dolomites" in the 19th century, in homage to the Dauphiné geologist Dieudonné de Dolomieu (1750-1801), they were commonly called Monti Pallidi, the "pale mountains". This massif in the northern Italian Alps has 18 peaks over 3000 meters (highest point: the Marmolada, 3343 m).
Its mountain landscapes are among the most beautiful in the world, characterized by steep cliffs and a high density of very narrow, long, and deep valleys. Some of these rocky ridges rise to over 1,500 meters in altitude and are among the highest on the planet. To the south of the massif, in the Belluno region, above the Piave Valley, lies the Bellunesi Dolomites National Park, established in 1990, covering an area of 31,512 hectares.
The current glaciers (Marmolada, Pale di San Martino) are very limited and receding. At the base of the large cliffs, vegetation appears, and we find the usual altitudinal zonation of the mountains: coniferous forest above 2,000 m (fir, larch, Swiss pine), alpine pastures at the summit and lower down, and cultivated land. Between April and June, with the snowmelt, there is an explosion of flowers: gentians, rhododendrons, edelweiss, and bellflowers, among many others. These flowers and plants are also used for their medicinal properties and as ingredients in local cuisine, as well as to flavor grappa.
You will be staying in a beautiful family-run hotel at the foot of the Passo Pordoi, tastefully decorated in the purest Alpine style. It boasts spacious and comfortable rooms, a swimming pool, and a spa. Their restaurant will delight you with delicious traditional cuisine featuring specialties from northern Italy and a selection of fine wines.
