The backyard of the Dolomites Alps

The Dolomites are the eastern part of the Alps, located in the Trento-Upper Adige and Veneto regions of eastern Italy. The scenery here is beautiful and picturesque, it is one of the most beautiful mountain areas in the world, and a famous tourist destination. The Dolomites are mainly composed of dolomite, under the blue sky and white clouds, the pink mountain stones are exposed in the sun and shine. Long-term erosion and weathering have formed many deep canyons and steep cliffs, the steep mountain peaks stand tall, the slopes of the mountains are green, and the trees at the foot of the mountains are lush, forming a unique mountain scenery. The Dolomites were formed millions of years ago, originally this area was a large ocean that was hundreds of meters deep, due to the squeeze of the African continental plate and the Eurasian continental plate, it gradually rose to form a mountain range. Now prehistoric animal and plant fossils have been discovered from the seabed in this area. Due to the erosion of glaciers, many "U" shaped canyons have appeared in this mountain range, becoming one of the scenic features of this area. The main peak Marmolada (Marmolada) is in the west, with an altitude of 3342 meters. For more Dolomites travel guide information, you can refer to related travel websites.
