There are some real gems to visit for anyone who takes the time to see them. Lovingly restored and maintained by the residents, cultural assets attract visitors to the Italian provinces.

History

The First World War was a striking and defining time for the Dolomites. This tragic and very moving period of history has left traces not only on the hiking trails high in the mountains. In the valley too, memories of this time are kept alive by well-preserved legacies. Former trenches and emplacements remind us of the harsh living conditions of the soldiers of the time.

The winding alleys and ancient houses reveal a centuries-old history and the locals keep their traditions alive. Be a part of this culture of contrasts and coming together in a land of breezy mountain passes, high plateaus, rolling valleys and plains where German, Italian and Ladin culture meet!
