Walking in the Dolomites

The soaring limestone towers of the Dolomites in northern Italy have long fascinated the British climber, but the well known ones are the delights it offers to mountain walkers. Quiet apart from the stunning scenery, well graded paths and excellent mountain refuges, this region has fascinating remains from World War I when Italy fought Austria for possession of the pinnacles! Tunnels bore through entire mountains, crazy paths zig-zag up impossible peaks... there's nothing like it anywhere else. Many of the artefacts are now restored and preserved by the authorities.
