It is official; on 26 June 2009 "The Dolomites" were declared a<br />

Natural World Heritage Site. What makes the Dolomites appeal<br />

so unique can be experienced by the guests. Around the famous<br />

“Three Peaks” (Tre Cime/Drei Zinnen) are alluring and magnificent<br />

paths, isolated mountain lakes, renowned mountain huts and<br />

lots of pure tradition.<br />

The Dolomite summits have the effect of projecting carved statues<br />

in stone; these impressions are very evident in the mountain ranges<br />

of the <strong>Alta</strong> <strong>Pusteria</strong>. Particularly the world famous “Drei Zinnen”<br />

(Three Peaks), which no other sumit in the Dolomites can copy its<br />

uniqueness; but of course the neighbouring mountains such as the<br />

Paternkofel, Dreischusterspitze or the Haunold and the Rotwand are<br />

revered as absolute classics in mountaineering circles.<br />

The typical Dolomite characteristics of majestic rock formations and<br />

romantic landscapes are intensely experienced in the <strong>Alta</strong> <strong>Pusteria</strong><br />

region of South Tyrol. For example, the banks of the idyllic Lake<br />

Braies/Prags, probably the most beautiful mountain lake in the<br />

Dolomites, which is flanked by dark forests and framed by, steep<br />

rock faces of the Seekofels mountain.<br />
