As one of the most magnificent regions of the Alps, the Dolomites showcase a wide range of diverse landscapes. Gentle hills stand right next to steep rock domes, green meadow oases beside barren scree fields, charming larch forests above deep gorges, and bizarre tower-like labyrinths over dreamy mountain lakes. The highest peaks, just over 3000 meters, are found in the northern and central areas, while the summits decrease in height towards the south. Due to their variety, the Dolomites are equally popular among hikers, lovers of high-altitude trails, climbers, and via ferrata enthusiasts. In this carefully updated second edition of the Rother hiking book, Franz Hauleitner describes 50 beautiful and varied hikes and mountain tours across the entire Dolomites region between the Eisack Valley and the Puster Valley.
