Being nature lovers, the Dolomites were the couple Dinh Hoang Nhat and Mia Pham's favorite destination during their recent trip to Italy. Three days exploring the Dolomites allowed them to admire the vast and majestic natural landscape of the northern Italian mountains.

Dinh Hoang Nhat is a travel vlogger currently living in the United States. He owns the WhereToNextVlog channel on various social media platforms, where he posts videos and photos of his travels exploring the world.

The Dolomites were part of a three-day trip to Italy for Hoàng Nhật and Mia Phạm, exploring this beautiful mountainous region. Mountains, lakes, and trees in a multitude of colors painted a truly majestic and impressive picture of the Dolomites. If you love nature and are passionate about hiking, then you definitely shouldn't miss the Dolomites.

Often described as a work of art bestowed by nature, the Dolomites attract tourists from all over the world with their breathtaking and majestic beauty. Part of the Alps, the Dolomites stretch from the Adige River in the west to the Piave River valley in the east. The Dolomites are named after the type of rock that makes up the landscape – Dolomite limestone. These eroded limestone mountains have created strikingly jagged peaks that are incredibly unique.

The Dolomites are a breathtaking landscape, resembling a painting, with their sheer cliffs, narrow and deep valleys, and snow-capped peaks due to their high altitude. Because of this captivating natural scenery, the Dolomites were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009.

The three-day journey through the Dolomites by the couple Hoang Nhat and Mia Pham allowed them to explore and visit many impressive places.

On their first day, Hoang Nhat and his wife set off from Florence, approaching the Dolomites from the west and heading east. Karersee was their first stop, a small lake with beautiful emerald green water, bordered by lush green pines on the other side, and in the distance, a range of majestic gray mountains on the horizon. Karersee looks like a precious gem and is also an ideal location for photography, producing stunning, fairytale-like images.

The next destination is Seceda. This majestic mountain range, situated at an altitude of 2518 meters, boasts an impressive appearance with a series of sharp peaks reaching straight up into the sky, often shrouded in clouds. The summit can be reached by cable car or by hiking.

The second day's itinerary is to Saint Magdalena, a small, peaceful village nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, featuring spacious wooden houses and lush green meadows characteristic of the Alps.

Nestled among mountains, Pragser Wildsee Lake receives its water from melting glaciers, giving it a beautiful and striking turquoise color. Additionally, the lake offers boating services and is situated right next to a large hotel.

On their last day in the Dolomites, Hoang Nhat and Mia Pham hiked to Lago Federa. This mountain lake is especially beautiful in autumn, surrounded by vibrant yellow Podocarpus trees, but it requires a 4km hike up a steep path.

And the destination Hoàng Nhật visited on the third day was Tre Cime de Lavaredo. These are three iconic rocky peaks of the Dolomites, with incredibly spectacular surrounding mountain scenery, often covered in a sea of ​​clouds.

However, all the destinations visited over the three days are just landmarks that Hoang Nhat could mention. Besides those points, every road that ran through this mountainous region was breathtaking, with stunning views that he saw everywhere, and he frequently had to stop to film and take pictures.

“What impressed me most was Seceda because of its immense size and grandeur. The view from up there is breathtakingly beautiful and expansive, making me feel incredibly small in the face of Mother Nature. I also liked Tre Cime de Lavaredo because of the ethereal sea of ​​clouds that enveloped the area; the feeling of walking through the clouds was very enjoyable,” Hoang Nhat shared with Travellive.

Hoang Nhat added that, of course, he and his wife had planned their itinerary before the trip, but they discovered many beautiful spots by getting lost or taking the wrong route. So, he reassured everyone that driving around the area would definitely lead to finding beautiful views.

One unpleasant experience was when my wife and I were hiking up to Lake Federa, imagining we'd capture beautiful photos with vibrant yellow Podocarpus trees. However, upon arrival, we discovered that the higher uphill sections had already turned yellow and shed all their leaves, leaving only bare branches – a wasted five hours of hiking up and down.

“The village around Seceda only operates during the summer and winter, so when we arrived in the fall, all the restaurants were closed. We thought we would go hungry that night, but luckily there was only one restaurant open, so we ended up avoiding going to bed hungry,” Hoang Nhat recounted.

During his journey to conquer the Dolomites, the biggest difficulty he faced was the weather. It rained quite a lot while he was there, and the cold weather made it quite damp and uncomfortable.

For those planning to conquer the Dolomites – the mountainous region in northern Italy, especially Vietnamese tourists, Hoang Nhat also shares a few tips for a fulfilling trip.

“The Dolomites are beautiful all the time, but in my opinion, autumn is the most special because the larch trees turn a brilliant yellow, interspersed with green pines, creating a truly stunning sight. The last two weeks of October and the first week of November are the ideal time to experience autumn in the Dolomites,” he said.

Because this mountainous region is beautiful in every corner, you'll frequently encounter stunning views along the trekking route. It's best to drive yourself so you can stop wherever you like to enjoy the natural beauty or take photos and videos to preserve memories.

The Dolomites are mountainous, so naturally they are colder than the rest of Italy. Visiting in the fall requires extra warm clothing, and even in warmer seasons there's still a chance of getting chilly from the wind, so always bring at least a windbreaker.

In addition, the Dolomites region doesn't offer a wide variety of cuisine, so those unfamiliar with Italian food should definitely bring other food in case they get tired of pasta and pizza.
