Hikes in the Dolomites
The 10 most beautiful hikes in the Dolomites
Hiking in the Dolomites
Get out of everyday life and into a wild adventure, we swap stress for excitement and dive into a mountain landscape like no other. Meter by meter we climb higher and enjoy the panorama. What unfolds before our eyes in the Dolomites is hardly describable. The Three Peaks, the Rosengarten, and especially the mighty Marmolada create an impressive picture that does not get boring even on the tenth visit.
The mountain region in the east of South Tyrol is well known to be very popular among mountaineers and climbers, but the Dolomites are also well suited for classic hikes and you can reach some peaks without climbing. In the mid-altitude zones, on a hike from hut to hut, both experienced hikers and families feel especially comfortable. Through blooming alpine meadows, past beautiful mountain lakes, hiking trails lead in difficulty levels from easy to medium. For difficult tours, you should be very familiar with hiking and have surefootedness and good fitness. Do not take the tours in the Dolomites lightly and prepare adequately, gather all the information you can, and realistically assess your abilities.

Enrosadira – Legends of the Mountains
When evening falls and dusk slowly sets in, the Dolomites come to life. The well-known natural spectacle "Enrosadira", Ladin for alpenglow, occurs depending on the season and the position of the sun when the diligent hiker slowly comes to rest. In colors ranging from orange to bright red, the otherwise rugged mountains glow in a gentle light that radiates an unusual but attractive warmth. Illuminated by the last rays of the sun of the day, the mountain glow is a phenomenon you definitely should not miss. You have especially good chances to see the phenomenon yourself here:
- Rosengarten in Fassatal from Pozza di Fassa
- Sciliar and Sassolungo from Seiser Alm
- Sass Pordoi from Campitello di Fassa
- Cimon della Pala from Passo Rolle
- Tre Cime di Lavaredo from Val di Landro
- Pale di San Martino from San Martion di Castrozza
By the way, there is also a legend about Enrosadira that explains the phenomenon. Long ago, the stone Rosengarten was a real garden completely covered with red roses. When the king of the dwarfs one day kidnapped the princess of a neighboring kingdom and was pursued by soldiers, they found him only because of his footprints that he left in the Rosengarten. As a result, the king turned the roses to stone so they would never betray him again and people couldn’t find him either by day or by night. However, he forgot the dusk. Because between day and night the roses still glow today in the brightest colors.

The vistas all around this hike are stunning when you get half way up to the slope.
It's a nice short hike that can be added to another one in the region.
