Italy"s Dolomites don"t just tower; they enchant, turning every trail into a story. Fondly known as the "Pale Mountains," the Dolomites derive their name from dolomite—a carbonate mineral. Set in the northern Italian Alps, the range spans over 345,000 acres and boasts 18 soaring peaks that rise above 9,500 feet. These mountains feature sheer cliffs, lofty walls, and a maze of narrow, winding valleys.
