A series of peaks on the Dolomites

About two hours north of Venice, there is a place where nature reigns supreme, with patches of green, both light and dark, interwoven like a mosaic pieced together from Grimm's fairy tales.lieLush green hills dotted with a few wooden houses built on top.plugThe mountains are rugged and jagged, with rocks jutting straight up into the sky.

Welcome to South Tyrol, home of the Dolomites. The Dolomites are part of the Alps mountain range stretching from the Adige River to the Piave Valley in Italy. It's so vast that, when embarking on a trip there, one often doesn't know where to begin or how to proceed, with over 40 peaks ranging in height from 2,200 to 3,300 meters and more than 18 trekking routes. It's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, adventurers seeking the beauty and ruggedness of nature, long-distance cyclists, and ski enthusiasts.

In summer (especially in early July), the area is quite bustling, with tourists from all over the world flocking to the Dolomites to participate in the famous annual cycling race. High-end Michelin-starred restaurants and luxurious resorts and spas are built to cater to those seeking such experiences. Then, as August and September pass, the Dolomites return to its inherent tranquility, with fewer people and the deep blue lakes devoid of boats. Whether in summer or winter, whether filled with the cheers of people or the gentle rustling of the wind through the rocky mountains, no matter the month, the Dolomites is captivating enough to enchant both solo travelers and those who enjoy partying.
