Holidays in the Dolomites
The Dolomites astonish with amazing, 250 million-year-old rocks. The pale stones that characterise this mountain range are fossilised coral reefs. Even today, mountaineers and researchers discover fossils from an age when there was a sea here. When the Adriatic and Eurasian plates collided, the entire Alpine region rose into a mountain range. The Dolomites consist of sedimentary rock and limestone. Since 2009, the mountains have been protected by UNESCO as a Natural World Heritage Site due to their unparalleled beauty.
