The scenic Dolomites in Alta Pusteria/Hochpustertal, Val Gardena/Gröden or Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm are great for a whole range of activities. In winter, the Dolomites transform into a veritable skiers paradise, downhill and cross-country, and make for the ideal playground for snowshoeing and ski touring fans. The optimal snow conditions offer the best prerequisites for ski holidays in the Dolomites.

When on holidays in the Dolomites make sure to visit the trademark of these world-famous mountains: the Three Peaks, Tre Cime or Drei Zinnen. The Three Peaks are located in the Sesto Dolomites and are literally three peaks: the Great Peak (Cima Grande/Große Zinne) with 2,999 m, the Western Peak (Cima Ovest/Westliche Zinne) with 2,973 m and the Little Peak (Cima Est/Östliche Zinne) with 2,857 m altitude. 

If you are planning your holidays in the Dolomites, make sure to visit the renowned mountain Catinaccio/Rosengarten, located mainly on the territory of the nature park Sciliar-Catinaccio/Schlern-Rosengarten. This mountain massif extends over approximately eight kilometres from Sciliar/Schlern in the North to Passo di Costalunga/Karerpass in the South. During your holidays in the Dolomites, you find a great variety of via ferratas, such as the Laurenzi track or the Catinaccio d’Antermoia/Kesselkogel track. The alpine glow, the so-called enrosadira, is a particularly beautiful phenomenon: when the rising or setting sun hits the mountains of Catinaccio/Rosengarten, it creates a fantastic play of colours, in the shades of red and pink, as if the mountains were in flames! Do not miss this unique nature spectacle during your holidays in the Dolomites!
