The Dolomites are like no other mountains in Europe. They consist of thick layers of the mineral ‘Dolomite’, akin to limestone, originally deposited on the floor of an ancient sea. The Dolomite peaks are gigantic, chiselled monuments to the powerful forces of glacial erosion.
This self-guided hiking holiday starts with a walk to the spectacular Tre Cime di Lavaredo (or Drei Zinnen). The scenery continues to impress with new panoramas unfolding with each turn of the paths and crossing of the passes. High mountain paths are interspersed with lush meadows and pretty hamlets and villages. Refuges (lodges) and mountain restaurants provide a perfect excuse to rest and drink in the views. To cap it all, there are opportunities for the not so faint hearted to stand on a couple of summits and peer down almost vertical rock faces to the valleys far below.
