Dolomites – Best place to have holidays in Italy

Italian Dolomites - This is possibly the most impressive range of mountains in Europe – quite different from the Alps – with massive slab sided falls of granite which are flat topped, and towards evening reflect the rays of the sun and turn rose pink.

There is also a fascinating recent history to the region. Until 1919, this mountain domain was part of Austria, in fact until that date, even part of Lake Garda was in Austria. At the end of the first World War, Italy was a member of the allies, and it was decided to punish Austria by annexing the whole area of the Sud Tyrol which was then promptly handed over to Italy. Even today, part of the region is still German speaking in the Alto Adige province. The towns and buildings still retain the architecture of the Hapsberg empire.

The gastronomic mix that comes from the location is one of Austrian cleanliness, a unique Austo - Italian cuisine and smooth light red wines from the Alto Adige area.

The best is yet to come. There are six National Parks in the region, and it’s ideal for those looking for relaxation in this enchanting area of valleys, superb mountain scenery and small lakes.

As you travel further south, the German language disappears and Italian dominates. There are a vast number of totally unspoilt valleys to explore by car or foot; one of the most dramatic is the Fassa Valley which leads in turn to the Alpe di Siuse and Vols where we offer Hotel Perwanger. Don’t take our word for it – do read up on a few guide books, and each one will confirm that this region is unique and a nature lovers paradise.

One last tip - do try to avoid the first few weeks of August. This is peak Italian family holiday time – and most of Italy, but especially the mountains, is swamped by Italians getting away from the city heat. Prices are at their peak and accommodation and restaurants are packed with amiable but noisy Italians on vacation.

Val di Fiemme

This splendid valley is located due east of the Alpine city of Bolzano. The valley is surrounded by the magnificent flat-topped Dolomites, which soar above picturesque resorts and Pradezzo is the first village that you enter. The village has plenty of walks and cable cars operate in summer to make your journey easy - even for the worst lazy bones!

The area is quite breathtaking and words fail to impart the beauty of the region. The valley is also a turn off point to the equally enchanting Valley di Fassa- so that the area is excellent choice to enjoy both areas which are within easy reach. Lake Garda in the south is reached by autostrada within one hour and Innsbruck is about the same driving time.

The green and fertile valleys of the region are centred around the peaks of Mount Marmolada, which reaches a height of over 10,000 feet above sea level. However most of the resorts lie at about 3000 feet above sea level and allow and warm summers with fresh alpine and ozone friendly air. Splendid walking opportunities and a wonderful mix of mountain cuisine such as air-dried hams, trout along with pasta and tradionial alpine cheeses. The red wines of the Alto Adigi are much praised in Italy for the light and perfumed character. Could one ask for more?

The village is at about 1000 metres above sea level and offers plenty of activities that include a riding school, mountain bike rentals, trekking, alpine walks and even miniature golf for light relief.
