The Dolomites are the world's most dramatic mountain landscape — in UNESCO-protected Northern Italian Alps, sheer limestone peaks rise 3,000m above sea level. Tre Cime di Lavaredo is one of the world's most recognisable mountain symbols, Cortina d'Ampezzo is Italy's most glamorous ski resort, and Val Gardena valley offers the world's finest hiking.
