YouTube - Adventure Films MediaThe majestic Dolomites are a mountain range in the Southern Limestone Alps and extend across north-east Italy, over the provinces of South Tyrol, Trentino and Belluno. The main access points to this breathtaking mountain range are the towns of Bozen, Brixen, Bruneck, Cortina d'Ampezzo and Belluno. Thanks to a well-developed transport network, the Dolomites can be easily reached from there by car, bus, train or, for example, by plane from Bozen.
Our map shows the Dolomites regions of the province of South Tyrol, from Hochpustertal to Mt. Kronplatz, Alta Badia, Gröden and the Seiser Alm-Schlern area to Eggental. The highest peak in the Dolomites is the Marmolada, with an altitude of 3,343 metres.

Internet Consulting - Stefan TolpeitThe Dolomites are a group of mountains in the Alps that are around 250 million years old and consist mainly of sedimentary rock and limestone. Today, they are characterised by their varied landscape of rugged rocks and gentle mountain meadows. The Dolomites, which were hotly contested in gruelling trench warfare during the First World War, have developed into a popular hiking and excursion destination in recent decades - popular with locals and visitors from afar alike.
It is no coincidence that the Dolomites, named after the French geologist Déodat de Dolomieu, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. The unique flora and fauna contribute significantly to the monumental beauty of the mountain range. The protection of nature and the landscape remains important, making it possible for future generations to enjoy this paradise in Italy.

Kronplatz or in Hochpustertal – via ferratas, high-altitude tours and alpine hikes are the perfect outdoor activities for your summer holiday.
