Venetian Dolomites during the Summer season: Summer is the season when nature shows itself in full splendour. An explosion of colours and vitality that reawakens man's desire to learn, to move  and explore. The combination of the astonishing Dolomites in full bloom and long summer days is ideal for all outdoor activities, providing yet further incentive to get out and about. IDEAS FOR YOUR SUMMER IN THE DOLOMITES Mountaineering: (Monte Pelmo, Monte Civetta, Monte Crot surrounding Hotel Ca' del Bosco). The possibilities offered by this immense natural gymnasium are innumerable and should be made the most of, the only condition being that this incredible gift of nature is respected completely. From alpinism to sports climbing, routes of all types and grades exist, weaving their way up an infinite number of splendid rock faces, seemingly created for what here in the Dolomites has historically been one of the major sports. And then there are of course the 'Vie Ferrate' and equipped paths, 'invented' here, enabling easy access to the summits of the greatest and highest Dolomite peaks. Mountain bike: The Dolomites are a paradise for mountain bikers, as they offer many different itineraries for cyclists of all abilities. We remind you the annual Mountainbike Marathon (about 43 km) called Civetta Superbike. The race track reaches Alleghe Zoldo Alto and Selva di Cadore trough the ski slopes. That is why the Civetta Superbike (end of August / beginning of September) is considered one of the hardest and impressive mountainbike's races. To fully enjoy the silence and fabulous panoramas of some of the most famous mountains one can choose from the many paths designated specifically to mountain bikers, while remembering not to ride on those reserved for hikers. Hiking along the Alte Vie: The important Alte Vie have been created specifically for trekkers and hikers: these long itineraries cross through entire Dolomite groups and allow for an in-depth understanding of the area as, day after day, walkers come into direct contact with nature and the mountains themselves.The close-knit and varied network of paths, be they long and difficult or short and simple, offers all walkers the possibility of enjoying the forests, rock faces, rivers, lakes and the outstanding beauty of the Monti Pallidi, the Pale Mountains. The Mountain Guides, based in every village in the Dolomites, will of course be pleased to offer advice and accompany you in complete safety throughout all these activities. Some examples of nice trekking very close to Ca' del Bosco Hotel: Monte Pelmo:The best place to start the Tour del Pelmo is Forcella Staulanza. Start by climbing along the ancient Tríòl dei Cavai (path no. 472). This leads out of the forest beneath Pelmetto’s western arête (a path leads off from here to a large boulder with dinosaur footprints). It continues on beneath the mountain’s southern flank and the Fisura saddle.The wide Le Mandre pastures are soon reached. Panoramic and sunny, they offer classic views typically associated with the Dolomites. An area called I Lach is then crossed before continuing beneath the SE crest and a peculiar overhanging pedestal.From here the Campi di Rutorto pastures lead swiftly to the De Luca refuge, built in 1892 by the Venetian section of the Italian Alpine Club and now commonly referred to as Rifugio Venezia.

Zweitausend Jahre Geschichte, die man in zahlreichen kleinen Dingen entdecken kann: von der Architektur zur lokalen Kunst, vom Handwerk zur Musik und vor allem in der Sprache, die fast keine äusseren Einflüsse erlitten hat und bis heute ihre rätisch-ladinischen Ursprünge unverändert erhalten hat. Jedes Tal drückt das Ladinische mit unterschiedlichen Nuancen aus, die auch zwischen einem Dorf und dem anderen deutlich werden. Der Aufenthalt in den dolomitisch-ladinischen Tälern wird zu einer einmaligen Erfahrung, wenn man sich von der Atmosphäre anderer Zeiten umhüllen und in eine Welt einfacher und reiner Dingen versetzen lässt.

Valleys and resorts in the Dolomites where history and traditions combine to give life to a unique reality, the Ladin culture: an ancient people that grew in these wonderful but impervious regions, and learned how to live in close touch with the surrounding nature, while preserving their language, customs, and traditions in time. A two-thousand year long history that we may perceive in so many small things: from architecture to local art, from craft to music and, particularly, in their language that remained almost unaffected by external developments until our time, keeping its Raethian-Latin origin unchanged. Each valley uses the Ladin language with different nuances, often even changing from one village to the next.A stay in the Dolomitic-Ladin valleys is a unique experience if you get deep into this atmosphere of a past time, into a world that is still made of simple and genuine things. To unveil those long-forgotten customs, even if for a short time, and restore feelings that no longer exist in our modern world. Linked with each other through the Dolomitisuperskipass, the world's largest ski area, where you may ski from one valley to the next without using your own transport means, and linked together by the same, wonderful Dolomitic landscape, they create an exceptional, huge tourist feature, ready to satisfy even the most demanding requirements. Experiencing the Dolomites in winter snow or in the untouched natural summer landscape will be a never-ending emotion.
