The Dolomites are geologically unique: They impress nature lovers and mountaineers with a spectacular variety of shapes and breathtaking views. Since 2009, the Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The incomparably beautiful mountain scenery offers dreamlike hiking paths and bike routes and is the home of many seldom animals and plants. The award has brought international fame and at the same time the responsibility to preserve the unique value of the Dolomites.

Magical Dolomites panorama

The beauty of the Dolomites can best be explored with hiking boots, by bike or by means of climbing equipment. There are less tiring alternatives: Cable cars and lifts are open not only in winter, but frequently in summer too.

Alta Badia and Gröden, Obereggen and Seiser Alm, 3 Zinnen Dolomites and Mt. Kronplatz: The cable cars of the hiking and skiing areas in the Dolomites take you to lofty heights easily and quickly. Up there, you will enjoy a breathtaking view – partly with 360-degree panoramas and viewing platforms, where you can read the names of the peaks surrounding you.
