Must-Visit Places In the Dolomites

Natural Beauties and Lakes

Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park

The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park is among the 23 national parks in Italy and the only park in the Dolomite Alps. It is located in the province of Belluno, between the Cismon river and the Piave river. The park was established in 1988, before the Dolomites were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It includes a few mountain groups: Pale di San Martino, San Lucano, Dolomiti Bellunesi (mountain groups above Belluno and Vette Feltrine (mountain groups above Feltre). Each of them includes lots of separate magnificent peaks. You can experience climbing the Monte Pavione (2334 m), the highest peak of the Park.

Lake Landro

Lake Landro, also called Dürrensee, is known for its location right near the road and free parking spaces right next to the lake. It’s an amazing short-stay destination where you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the mountains reflected in the crystal clear water. The nearest settlement Dobbiaco is located 9 km away from the lake and there are buses running between the two points. The Lake is halfway between Dobbiaco and Lake Misurina.

Tre Cime di Lavaredo

The three peaks, from east to west, are: Little Peak (Cima Piccola, 2857 m), Big Peak (Cima Grande, 2999 m) and Western Peak (Cima Ovest, 2973 m). This is probably the best-known destination in the Dolomite Alps. The three battlement-like peaks look pretty spectacular even from the highway. However, if you want to admire the stunning beauty of the landscape you will need to use the loop trail around the peaks.

Lake Misurina

Lake Misurina is known for snowy peaks and a hotel standing right on the shores of the lake. Near the lake there are a few hotels. The lake is located 1,754 m above sea level and thanks to the particular climatic characteristics the area is considered to be suitable for those suffering from respiratory diseases. Lake Misurina is also known as the place where the speed skating events were held during the 1956 Winter Olympic Games, and it was the last time Olympic speed skating events were held on natural ice.

Tourist Attractions

Ortisei: Zona Pedonale

It’s a lovely picturesque pedestrian area where we enjoyed the magical atmosphere during our Christmas holidays. Plenty of beautifully decorated shops, hotels, cafés and restaurants, small and comfortable markets. The whole area is decorated with Christmas trees and lights. If you are not a skier, walking around the place would be a memorable experience. The street with its breathtaking views actually looks like a fairytale town.

Chiesa di San Giacomo

Chiesa di San Giacomo is an old lovely church located between Santa Cristina and Ortisei. Road signs are everywhere. Walking through the forest and admiring the views is pretty enjoyable! The paths are well-maintained even in winter. While visiting the place you can come across tourists of all nations and everybody is pretty friendly. In summer you can admire natural springs with crystal clear fresh water. There are benches along the path through the forest for those who need some rest. Besides while walking along the forest you can also admire colorful paintings by the children of the local Art School, which tell the story of San Giacomo.

Tyrol Castle

If you are crazy about castles, Tyrol Castle located close to the Austrian border is a must-visit destination for you. It’s a landmark of the whole Tyrol region both Italian and Austrian. The Castle was constructed in a number of building phases, the first of which dates to 1100.

Geisler Alm

Geisler Alm is one of the most popular Instagram spots in the Dolomite Alps. Rifugio Delle Odle is a mountain hut with an excellent restaurant, located in the Puez-Geisler National Park in an alpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks. To reach the place point to “Rifugio Delle Odle” in the navigator and you will reach the parking lot. Then follow the trail numbers towards the hut and in a 1.5-hour hike you will be there.

The city attracts travelers with magnificent mountain views and lakes, ski resorts, cheerful folk festivities and monuments of history and culture. Bolzano is called the gateway to the Dolomites.

Merano

Merano is a city in the Italian province of Bolzano in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Merano is characterized by large parks and green paths, botanical gardens and numerous waterways.

Museum Of The Great War

This Museum is the most important museum of the Great War in the Dolomites. The museum houses more than 2,000 items of military materials. It is located 2 km from the Falzarego Pass, 20 km from Cortina d'Ampezzo. This museum wants to tell the story of soldiers not as fighters of one army or another, but as men. Adapting to the mountain and its natural inconveniences was the hardest and most exhausting of the fights. In these situations, genuine universal human values arose and, after the first bloody clashes, the absurdity of war as a tool for solving political problems. The museum illustrates the tragic reality of war.

MMM Corones

MMM Corones, situated on the summit plateau of Kronplatz (2,275 m), is dedicated to traditional mountaineering, which has strongly influenced – and has been strongly influenced by – Reinhold Messner. The museum is devoted to mountain history and also offers unique views of the great mountain walls of the Dolomites and the Alps. At the edge of the most magnificent viewing platform in South Tyrol, in the distinctive museum building created by Zaha Hadid, the view goes beyond the borders of South Tyrol to all points of the compass: from the Lienz Dolomites in the east to the Ortler in the west, from the Marmolada in the south to the Zillertal Alps in the north.

Museo delle Donne

The Merano Women's Museum is a lively cultural meeting point. The Women's Museum was designed by women to make women's knowledge, experience and self-esteem visible.

The Women's Museum aims to promote women's performance as a foundational element of an already existing cultural heritage.

Expert Tips

Take car for traveling around Dolomites

Traveling around Dolomites is best by car, as this will give you the opportunity to visit the most remote corners of the Mountains. You can also travel by public transport, but buses take much longer.

Cars are always available for rent.

Enrosadira

You should definitely see Enrosadira, a unique light phenomenon during which the peaks of the Dolomites, bathed in the rays of the rising and setting sun, turn red. It can be seen throughout the year, but this natural spectacle becomes especially impressive in summer, when both sunrises and sunsets last longer.

Tre Cime

If you are going to visit Tre Cime you have to go in the early morning because when parking is full the entrance to the road to Tre Cime is closed. The parking lot is large and in the early morning you will definitely find a good place.

Hiking in the mountains

There are quite a few Alpine refugios in the Dolomites where tourists can stay overnight during their hike. These are refugios – traditional huts that are located high in the mountains and are designed to accommodate climbers and tourists. There will not be all the amenities that are offered to guests in ordinary hotels, but they have one indisputable advantage – here you wake up in the heart of the Dolomites! Alpine refugios are usually open from June 20 to September 20, but these dates may change depending on weather conditions.

If you plan to spend the night in a mountain hut, take a sleeping bag or an insert for it with you, as in the objects managed by the Italian Mountaineering Club – CAI, their presence is mandatory!

Cable Cars

It’s a good idea to always check the opening hours of the cable cars so you can get back before closing time.

Rainy days

Many amusement parks are closed when it rains.

On a rainy day you can go to SPA centers.

For example QC Terme Dolomiti.

In the wellness centers you will find relaxation rooms, mud baths, hydromassage baths and Roman baths.

Skiing is not only for professionals

For inexperienced skiers and for those who are afraid of heights, there are flat tracks on Val Gardena, Civetta, Kronplatz and Arabba. If you still want to slide down the mountain, then go to resorts with “green” and “blue” slopes, for example, on Val di Fiemme, Tre Valli – the slopes here are gentle and wide.

The slopes of Val Gardena are perfect for families with children. The resorts of the Val di Fassa boast moderate elevation changes, gentle slopes and a mild climate. There are also many safe trails for children in Val di Fiemme and Tre Valli.
