The dolomites

Formed 200 million years ago from primordial seas, today these fascinating mountains rise more than 3,000m tall toward the sky. The Dolomites are named after French geologist Deodat de Dolomieu (1750 – 1801), who first identified the unique composition of the rock. On 26 June 2009 the Dolomites became a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site for their monumental and unique beauty. 

Food on the slopes is amazing

In Dolomites the huts are called Riffugio. There are a lot of huts all around the Dolomiti area and some of them offer first class food right on the slopes.
