Dolomites
In northeastern Italy, you will find the Dolomites, or more completely, the Dolomite Mountains. It is Italy’s widely famous mountain range that spans the regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Friuli Venezia Giulia. Also known as the Dolomite Alps, it is heavily visited by nature lovers with its beautiful mountainous peaks and diverse terrain. It sits across 350,000 acres of land with sheer rock faces, green forests, valleys, and even icy glaciers. The mountain range comprises 2,131 mountains with names. This includes the Marmolada which is home to the highest peak of the Dolomites, the Punta Penia. Fittingly enough, the peak is also called the Queen of the Dolomites. In 2009, the Dolomites were added to Italy’s list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites because it uniquely has well-preserved Mesozoic carbonate platform systems originating from 250 million years ago. The mountain range is home to countryside towns and villages with diverse sets of cultures and languages. In it, you will find several regional parks, including the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park.
