dolomites italy location on map
With a growing interest in Italy’s off-the-beaten-path gems, the Dolomites are emerging as a top choice for those seeking adventure and exploration. The Dolomites are a mountain range located in South Tyrol, extending across northeastern Italy. These stunning peaks offer unique, breathtaking scenery.
 
The history of these mountains is quite interesting, having belonged to the German speaking world for 14 centuries. Now on Italy’s border with Austria, the area of Tyrol south of the Brenner was ceded by Austria to Italy in 1919 together with the predominantly Italian-speaking Trento. As in many other regions in German-speaking countries, Tyrol also has its own German-language dialect which comes from the Bavarian language. In addition to Italian and German, Ladin is one of the three languages spoken in South Tyrol.
 
COMO Alpina Dolomites, one of Classic Vacations’ newest Preferred Partners in Italy, is a modern architectural masterpiece, cradled by the sheer cliffs of a UNESCO Natural World Heritage site in Northern Italy. The location on South Tyrol’s Alpe di Siusi the largest high-altitude alpine meadow in Europe, the resort provides incredible panoramic views of the Dolomites. Their 60 rooms combine soft colors with quality furnishings finessed by South Tyrol’s traditional artisans. Each room offers sweeping views of the Dolomites range, its alpine meadows and jagged peaks.
