The heart of the Dolomites, panorama version

The Dolomites are located in the far north-east of Italy, close to Austria. This region with its tumultuous history has between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy, particularly during the First World War and many of its remains bear witness to this.
Here, you will hear both German and Italian spoken, as the dual culture is still deeply rooted. Ladin "the local dialect, a mixture of Latin and Germanic influences, is also spoken in some of the high valleys. There are plenty of signs in all 3 languages.
The Dolomites owe their name to a geologist, M. Déodat de Dolomieu, who, intrigued by the strange appearance of the rocks, studied and discovered their composition in 1782. Known for their famous Via Ferrata, the Dolomites also boast numerous hiking routes, you don't need to walk for very long or on very difficult paths to discover the sumptuous scenery.
The Panorama version of the programme allows you to discover the special atmosphere of the different massifs that make up these unusual Dolomites, which you can explore at your own pace, with the comfort of cosy accommodation in the valley.
