The Dolomites
The Dolomites are a mountain range located in the Alps in northern Italy, with 18 peaks exceeding 3,000 metres above sea level and covering an area of 141,903 hectares. It is home to some of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in the world, with vertical walls, steep cliffs and a dense concentration of narrow, deep and long valleys. The site consists of nine areas and presents a spectacular landscape of international geomorphological significance, marked by spires, pinnacles and rock faces, as well as glacial landforms and karst systems. It is characterised by dynamic processes, with frequent landslides, floods and avalanches. The site also contains one of the best preserved examples of a Mesozoic carbonate platform system, for which there is a fossil record.
