Generally when we are talking about the Dolomites we are talking about the mountains surrounding Alta Badia, Fanes, Gröden and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Most people tend to forget about an other very important part of the impressive mountain range: the west of the Dolomites - the Cadore.
Going to Cadore one has the impression that the time has stood still for the last century. The mountain resort near Cadore is very quiet. Even in the middle of the high season it can happen to you that you are the only one on the top of the mountain. The complete freedom and liberty is all yours! You will feel like a pioneer when he first conquests a peak!
For those who want an extra challenge the Monte Civetta and Monte Pelmo offer huge climbing walls and and challenging alpine altitudes.
We also recommend a trip to Sappada. Here the habitants speak still today their original language, a german dialect.
Besides, the landscape is absolutesly magnificant! But you needn't worry, many sights in Cadore are also accessible for not alpinists. Alleghe, Auronzo di Cadore, San Vito di Cadore, Pieve di Cadore, Ponte nelle Alpi and Forni di Sopra, to name just a few. By the way, Cadore is also fascinating in winter. Through the ski center of "Comprensorio Sciistico Civetta" the region's slopes and lifts are connected to the important ski circus Dolomiti Superski.
