If you continue northwards, the first peaks of the Alps gradually rise. Especially the mountain massif of the Dolomites is more than fascinating with its bare, white “giants” and an impressive natural landscape. Among the most famous heights of the region are the Three Peaks, the Sassolungo or the mountain group Marmolata. The ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo, idyllically situated in the middle of the mighty mountain range, is well worth a visit. Continuing on towards South Tyrol, we reach the Puster Valley, where the villages of Dobbiaco and Brunico enchant us with their charm and breathtaking mountain panorama.
