The Dolomites mountain range, located in northeastern Italy, is considered one of the most dramatic alpine destinations in the world. The "Pale Mountains" are distinguished by the dazzling contrast between the rocky mountains and the lush green meadows they rise from. Start at the shore of the Lago di Braies — the charming lake you can row through in the "Tyrol — Alpine Lakes" water tour. Discover the Western Dolomites and behold the imposing Odle Massif, towering above the Val di Funes valley. Finally, traverse the Adolf Munkel hiking trail into the woods, and keep your eyes peeled for some unlikely companions as the trail enters the forested foothills!
