Secret Dolomites

Ed. 2023 From ephemeral lakes in mountain meadows to rocky labyrinths hidden behind rock walls, ancient mining villages and abandoned hamlets, the prison of the Turks in the Dolomites, a proglacial lake, a rock that defies the laws of gravity, petrified bishops, dwarfs, gnomes and an elephant, caves, ravines, and mysterious portals, breathtaking views of the highest rock walls of the range, a forgotten and enchanting forest, lost bivouacs on high, secluded plateaus, solitary hermitages, stone books in an open-air library, the trails of Mesolithic hunters, a glacier between blood-red rock walls and another with a bewitching turquoise gaze, via ferratas to travel along in solitude, unknown and unnamed summits on topographic maps, fabled spirits of the air … Secret Dolomites is a guidebook for travellers escaping the crowded paths to discover the range s countless unknown and often spectacular sites.
