Travel guide Italie - Alpes italiennes et Dolomites

Stretching from the majestic Mont Blanc chain to the Dolomites, the Italian Alps, marking a natural border with France, Switzerland and Austria, are among the most enchanting landscapes in Europe. The Great Lakes region, nestled in the hollow of the mountains and whose most famous representatives are Lake Maggiore and Lake Como, is home to some sumptuous villas by American celebrities. Visitors have plenty of time to cool off in the blue water of the lakes during the summer months before embarking on a trip to the Borromean Islands. The tourist guide of the Italian Alps and Dolomites explores both the rich natural and cultural heritage of the region: Turin, Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta; the pretty Milan, but also Trento and Bolzano; not to mention the superb Verona and Serenissima Venice. Hikers and mountaineers will be thrilled as they walk through the valleys bristling with needles and arrows of the Dolomites, whose bare and vertiginous walls are tinged with pink reflections at sunset, but also by attacking the ascent of Mont-Blanc or the Grandes-Jorasses. Beyond these legendary cities and the Roman ruins that dot the territory, beyond the countless possible sporting activities, the Italian Alps and the Dolomites conceal a fantastic gastronomic and oenological culture that will delight the fine gourmets.
