Introduction
The jagged tips of the Dolomites stretch across Italy's north-east through the areas of South Tyrol, Trentino and Veneto. In the Dolomites travellers can enjoy limestone peaks, miles of groomed pistes, rolling pastures, farmhouses, and tiny villages topped by onion-domed churches. The area's best-known high altitude resort, Cortina d'Ampezzo, is a a glittering assortment of fashionable boutiques, while the ancient stronghold of Bolzano offers an insight into the region's rich history. Trentino is a land of glacier-fed lakes where visitors can enjoy ski resorts, mountaineering, walking, watersports, sailing and canyoning and a wealth of art, history, culture and tradition in the key towns of Trento and Rovereto.
