The Dolomites
The Dolomites run from the Austrian border in the north down to the Venetian plains, and they are a destination for every season. Skiers take the black runs in winter, hikers cross alpine pastures thick with wildflowers in spring, and the emerald waters of Lago di Braies are hard to resist in summer. Come autumn, the via ferrata routes draw climbers back for one last season before the snow returns.
