Family Overview: The Dolomites, Italy
The Dolomites rise from the eastern valleys of the South Tirol (Südtirol/Alto Adige) region, along the Austrian border. After taking in the dramatic landscape framed by the massive limestone peaks of the Dolomites to the east and gentler Alps to the west, you'll notice that the South Tirol appears more Germanic than Italian in every way—culture, language, architecture, and food. Every town has both a German and Italian name and solid Austrian roots because most of the South Tirol, which includes the Trentino and Alto Adige regions, belonged to Austria until being handed over to Italy at the end of World War I. This area appeals to active families, for whom hiking, biking, and riding thrillingly steep cable cars to high alpine valleys dominate a vacation itinerary. But there are also charming cities and alpine villages where strolling the streets and visiting museums and castles provide equally engaging options.
