Dan and I spent a day in the Dolomites last month when visiting Bolzano. We found the Dolomites to be absolutely STUNNING and really want to return and spend a week in the Dolomites with a car. I could not possibly sum up our day with words, so here are some photographs of our visit. I definitely suggest spending several days in the Dolomites – its absolutely worth it!

Officially in the Dolomites!

Made it to a Terrazza, i.e. a look out point.

I love a European post.

The cutest Alpine hotel.

The roads were really windy.

One of our little hikes.

A tunnel against the mountain.

The flowers were beautiful all over the Dolomites.

A church in Ortisei.

Ortisei, Italia.

Gorgeous.

Some of those little huts are refuges for hikers.

Beautiful.

I loved the look of this hotel.

Lago Carezza.

From another hike.

Passo Gardena.

Another shot from a hike.

The [dreaded] cable car.

On said cable car.

Edge of the mountain – crazy!

The top of the mountain!

The roads are crazy!

Artsy.

Another cable car that we opted not to take.
