lotharlerch Says: The Dolomites are attractive all the year round. Most main roads are kept open all the Winter but be prepared that after strong snowfall and wind some roads might be closed for some time due to the danger of avalanches.

lotharlerch Says: The largest lake in the Dolomites was used for the speed skating competitions under the Winter Olympics 1956 in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Helpfulness
LITTLE!

to really see the beauty of the dolomiti region you have to stay atleast one night in all the poular valleys
