The Dolomites, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for being one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. With its jagged pinnacles of pink rock that redden in the early evening light and sheer, imposing cliffs rising high above the picturesque valleys. Keen walkers will love the many marked trails through flower strewn meadows and for more energetic hikers there are longer, higher altitude trails and some excellent via ferrata. Near limitless outdoor diversions await from the aforementioned walking to cycling, mountain biking, e-biking, geo-caching, historic tours, farm visits, climbing and gastronomic excursions.
With a well-deserved reputation for culinary excellence, the region fuses the best of its Italian, Austrian and Ladin influences to create some of the best food in Italy. In fact, the Dolomites boasts the highest concentration of Michelin starred restaurants in the country - a total of 19.
Inghams' Dolomite programme includes the celebrated towns of Selva & Ortisei in Val Gardena, La Villa, San Cassiano, Corvara & Colfosco in Alta Badia, Canazei in Val di Fassa as well as the historic spa town of Merano.
