The most beautiful mountains in the word
The perfect place for daydreaming
Rugged rock faces, bizarre rock formations, gentle mountain meadows and more than 300 days of sunshine each year - it's not without reason that mountaineer Reinhold Messner labeled the Dolomites as the most beautiful mountains in the world.
With the Mormolata (3,342 m), the "Tre Cime di Lavaredo" (German: die drei Zinnen), the Rosengarten and the Latemar group as a backdrop, the Dolomites offer a wide range of activities.
Hikers, rock climbers and mountain bikers will find a large network of paths, which provide fantastic views of the impressive mountain world as a reward. Golfers can play on some of the most beautiful courses in the Alps, and those interested in culture will be overwhelmed by the countless palaces, castles and monasteries. In winter the snowy mountains invite you to come skiing and snowboarding, cross-country skiing or take a snow-shoe walk.
Latemar Mountain in the Dolomites - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Latemar Massif, which towers high over Karersee Lake, came into being about 250 million years ago. As part of the Dolomites, the mountain forms part of the Southern Calcareous Alps and is distinguished by a quick transition from placid Alpine pastures up to steep limestone ledges. Latemar Massif forms the Laste di Valsorde, a crescent-shaped cirque, together with the Eggentaler Horn, which rises up to 2,799 metres above sea level. Latemar Massif, Rosengarten Massif, Weisshorn, and Schwarzhorn all frame the Eggental Valley, which is home to the picturesque villages of Deutschnofen, Eggen und Petersberg. UNESCO considers the beautiful mountains of the Dolomites particularly worthy of protection due to their unique characteristics: in June 2009, UNESCO listed the mountain range as a World Heritage Site.
