The Brenta Dolomites, or “Dolomiti di Brenta”, is the part of the Dolomite range which lies to the westernmost extremity of the region. The range is about 40km in length as it runs from north to south and about 12 km wide east to west. It is rather different from the more eastern Dolomite groups, made up of slender lines and a greater plasticity of forms. However, all of the Dolomite range is particularly stunning, with deep valleys, extremely high peaks, dramatically craggy rock formations and pretty towns and huts perched at random in a very picturesque fashion. This is surely why it became a UNESCO Heritage Site in 2009.

While many are attracted to the coastal areas of Italy for her beaches, sun, fun, and excitement or the major cities for their endless list of things to see and do and cosmopolitan delights or the countryside for peace, privacy, and relaxation, there is another major and popular kind of holiday destination: the mountains.
