A trip to the Dolomites should include at least 3-6 night stay in one beautiful resort with a view of the mountains, a spa and located near one of the historic villages with an opportunity to try several winter or summer activities. A visit to this region should also include a stay in one of the beautiful cities in the valley such as Bolzano, Bressanone or Merano, which are rich with history, beautiful buildings, museums, stores and great restaurants. And plan a visit to one of the many superb wineries in the region such as Abbazia di Novacella. There are so many beautiful valleys, mountain rifugios and villages to explore, so try to concentrate on a smaller area and next time you come back, plan to visit another one.
Need to know
The Dolomites region is great to visit year round. Please note that many resorts close down between the summer and the winter ski season. I love visiting the Dolomites both in winter and summer, as each season offer a set of activities to relax and enjoy the mountains. If possible, plan to enjoy the sunset or even the sunrise. Special excursions can be planned to reach the top of the mountains and take in the amazing experience of the daybreak when the first ray of light comes up on top of the mountain, a truly amazing experience. Beside the stunning scenery, the warm hospitality and the beautiful setting of these mountain resorts and the food makes a trip to the Dolomites an unforgettable experience.
