The Dolomites
Impressive, striking, and unmistakable
Jagged peaks, sheer rock faces, and pristine landscapes make The Dolomites a truly unique natural wonder. Recognized for their extraordinary beauty, they were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. Once surrounded by the sea, today the Dolomite peaks rise above 3,000 meters, attracting mountaineers and nature lovers year after year.
The legends of Sassolungo and Sassopiatto, unforgettable postcard motifs, and the mountain films of Luis Trenker from Val Gardena have long secured The Dolomites a special place in cultural history. Their majestic rocks are composed of fossilized corals and magnesium-rich limestone – a geological rarity of global significance.
Around 350 peaks higher than 3,000 meters, seven nature parks, and one national park make this UNESCO World Heritage Site a paradise for hikers, cyclists, and mountain sports enthusiasts.
And Spa Resort Albion? It benefits from its unique location: in Ortisei, in the heart of Val Gardena – right in the middle of the incomparable Dolomites.
