The dolomites Ranges that are located in northern Italy are ideal for the adventure seekers. They feature hiking trails, magical mountain villages, glaciers, and lakes. During the summer, the hikers and hang gliders would come to hike into the mountains and take pictures of the wild, beautiful vegetation that would be in full bloom. It is also a popular skiing destination during the winter.
