Situated in the Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige, the "Pale Mountains" (Monti Paldi) of the Dolomites take on red tints at sunset. Their harsh contours embrace crystalline lakes and magnificent landscapes coloured by coniferous forests and wild mountain flowers. Largely protected as a national park, the mountain region is home to chamois, marmots, royal eagles and capercaillie. This remarkable unspoilt landscape is ideal for hiking and skiing excursions. Not to be missed!
