Italy"s Dolomites don"t just tower; they enchant, turning every trail into a story. Fondly known as the "Pale Mountains," the Dolomites derive their name from dolomite—a carbonate mineral. Set in the northern Italian Alps, the range spans almost 16,000 square kilometres and boasts 18 soaring peaks that rise above 2,900 metres. These mountains feature sheer cliffs, lofty walls and a maze of narrow, winding valleys.
