Holidays in the Dolomites
The „Drei Zinnen“ – or Three Peaks of Lavaredo probably are the most famous mountains in the Dolomites. Nevertheless, they are not the unique sights or alpine challenge in the region. For mountaineers, hikers and winter sportsmen the Dolomites are a real adventure park.

In Tiers and St. Zyprian, you will enjoy a wonderful view of the wonderful natural landscape and of the legendary Mt. Rosengarten.

Not for nothing, the Dolomites – named after the French geologist Déodat de Dolomieu – are part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2009. The unique flora and fauna contribute essentially to the monumental beauty of the mountain range. Important, however, is the nature and landscape protection enabling also future generations to enjoy this paradise.

Theatre of war during World War One, the Dolomites have become a world-famous hiking and excursion destination during the last decades – loved by the resident people in the same way as by guests coming from faraway places. When the first flowers blossom and the landscape becomes a sea of flowers in spring, the first mountain lovers begin to look for the breezing heights.
