Summer in Dolomites
Summer is the season when nature shows itself in full splendour. It is an explosion of colours and vitality that reawakens man's desire to learn and explore. And the combination of the beautiful Dolomites in full bloom and long summer days is ideal for all outdoor activities, providing yet further incentive to get out and about.
We are planning to create site devoted to Summer Holidays in Dolomites in the near future. For time being please use our main site >> SkiingItaly.net to browse through our accommodation

The possibilities offered by this immense natural gymnasium are innumerable and should be made the most of, the only condition being that this incredible gift of nature is respected completely.
From alpinism to sports climbing, routes of all types and grades exist, weaving their way up an infinite number of splendid rock faces, seemingly created for what here in the Dolomites has historically been one of the major sports. And then there are of course the 'Vie Ferrate' and equipped paths, 'invented' here, enabling easy access to the summits of the greatest and highest Dolomite peaks.
Mountain bike
The Dolomites are also a paradise for mountain bikers, as they offer many different itineraries for cyclists of all abilities.
To fully enjoy the silence and fabulous panoramas of some of the most famous mountains one can choose from the many paths designated specifically to mountain bikers, whilst remembering not to ride on those reserved for hikers.
Hiking along the "Alte Vie"
The important Alte Vie have been created specifically for trekkers and hikers: these long itineraries cross through entire Dolomite groups and allow for an in-depth understanding of the area as, day after day, walkers come into direct contact with nature and the mountains themselves.
The close-knit and varied network of paths, be they long and difficult or short and simple, offers all walkers the possibility of enjoying the forests, rock faces, rivers, lakes and the outstanding beauty of the Monti Pallidi, the Pale Mountains. The Mountain Guides, based in every village in the Dolomites, will of course be pleased to offer advice and accompany you in complete safety throughout all these activities.
Adrenalin adventures and other sports
For those wishing to feel the emotions that only flying can offer there are many specialised schools and centres. Beginners and experts alike can choose from paragliding and hang-gliding to admire forests and steep mountain faces from up high.
Water sports such as canoeing, kayaking, rafting, sailing and windsurfing can all be carried out in this region comprised of thousands of rivers and enchanting lakes.
And all other outdoor activities such as horse riding, golf and tennis are also well catered for. In addition, there are numerous swimming pools and sport centres that offer a full range of sports.
