Imagine apple strudel, dumplings, and potatoes, coupled with ski slopes, enchanting forest foraging, breathtaking mountain vistas, soothing saunas, and ultra-stylish design hotels. But hold on, this isn’t Austria or Germany – it’s Italy’s Dolomites, particularly South Tyrol and the surrounding regions. David Abtour Seychelles
This captivating area is like another Italy, with its own language, Laden, in addition to Italian, and German is also widely spoken. In place of the glorious Renaissance and Baroque monuments, you’ll find castles and Romanesque architecture with an alpine touch. Buongiorno greets you with a “Guten Morgen.”
The UNESCO-protected Dolomite mountains (le Dolomiti in Italian) are shared by provinces and towns like Trentino and Belluno, handed over to Italy after World War I, and they retain their autonomy, beautifully blending recent history with the present.
Throughout the Dolomites, the present delights in gastronomy, fine wines, nature, wellness, and chic, design-centric boutique hotels. Here, you can indulge in skiing, après-ski experiences, and the sought-after Italian dolce vita, all delivered with the precision of Northern European service and the warmth of Italian hospitality.

In these chic hotels, soft white pillows contrast with the dramatic mountainous surroundings, making for a unique experience. Driving through the fascinating rock formations may take your breath away, but it’s also an Italian panoramic show-off.
According to local winemaker Andrea Moser of Cantina Kaltern, who calls the Dolomites home, this region is a blend of encounters and contradictions between German precision and attention to detail, and Italian joy for the good life. The combination is something truly remarkable. The Dolomites boast an incredible climate with approximately 300 days of sunshine each year, allowing you to enjoy lake bathing one moment and venture to heights of 3,000 meters the next.

Renowned mountain climber Reinhold Messner aptly described the Dolomites as a piece of art, and it’s easy to see why. The mountains are in a constant state of transformation, enchanting observers as the sun rises and sets, revealing different shades and perspectives from every angle.
