Bikers heaven
This extraordinary mountain landscape is rich in contrasts: pale, rugged reefs of dolomite and limestone sprinkle the gently undulating alpine pastures, and the light shades of gray of the barren rock meet the lush greens and floral dashes of color in the meadows. The Dolomites are endlessly fascinating and are a jewel in the Alps. For some, such as the extreme mountaineer and connoisseur of the mountains Reinhold Messner, they are even the “most beautiful mountains in the world”. Anyone who has ever been to the Dolomites knows why and is not surprised that this monumental rocky landscape with its inviting mountain pastures and villages has become a UNSECO World Natural Heritage site.
Here, between South Tyrol, Trentino and Belluno, different cultures live together: the Ladins, descendants of a great heritage with their Rhaeto-Romanic language, the German-speaking Tyroleans and the Italians. And even if there are not only linguistic differences between them, they have all been shaped by the mountains and are therefore quite alike.
