After having heard deer in love during the autumn, awakened the sense of smell by breathing fresh mountain air, amused the touch by stroking sheep in the hut, it’s now time to satisfy the TASTE! The sight? Feeling gratified after a day in the Dolomites, you will marvel at the lovely starry evening.

“And then the people (because the people make history)
When it comes to choosing and going
You find them with their eyes wide open
Because they know well what they are doing”
                                                       (F.De Gregori “La storia”)

Nails were invented in Zoldo, with requests to send them to Venice for the construction of their infrastructure. Furthermore, though ice-cream was not invented in this Valley, Zoldo was pivotal in its expansion on an international platform, and they have now expanded and spread throughout the world.

The Dolomites are a mountain range like no other.
High peaks and summits, soaring pinnacles of rock, and luscious green fields….whether one decides to explore on foot, on bikes or in a car, the experience is unparalleled. Indeed, one could imagine finding these dolomitic sceneries in geology books, enhancing the unique opportunity to learn more about the natural history of an area so exceptional, that it was deemed worthy as to be recognised by the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009.
