Sweeping across northeastern Italy, the Dolomites form an ancient and mesmerising landscape. They set the ambience of this fabulous outdoor playground; an eternal lure for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts in the colder months and for hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers in the summer.

With delicious cuisine and wines, the region offers all that the palate desires in terms of taste and flavour. Bolzano is the biggest city in South Tyrol and the gateway to the Dolomite mountains with recently introduced direct flights from the UK, while Venice is only a couple of hours away.
