The Dolomites

The Dolomites are a mountain range located in northeastern Italy. They are a part of Alps, but unlike  the Central Alps which are built from slate and gneiss, they are built of a special type of limestone which is called dolostone. I believe you can easily notice the difference in colour and mountains' shapes.

The name of this stone and mountains comes from Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (1750–1801) who first described the stone. Thanks to their unique character, the Dolomites mountain were declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009

We came here in winter so the best way to get up the heel is to take a T-bar lift. Keep your legs together.

If you prefer to sit instead of standing please use the chairlift ...

up to the upper station ...

next to the Refuge Fronza Alle Coronelle at altitude of 2337 m.

Here you can drink a warm Bombardino with cream ...

... and admire the Central Alps in far North.

Now the funniest part: down the hill.

If you have sport ambitions you can even try yourself a slalom ...

... driving you back to the hotel.

Evening you can also ski or sledge on selected floodlit slopes or go to a typical après-ski tent. Just try to keep straight afterwards :)

Have fun and see you on the slopes of Carezza.
