In the Summertime

The region's many different facets are a constant source of inspiration. Take a deep breath of the pristine Alpine air, choose your favorite outdoor activity, and feel your daily troubles and petty worries fade away. Sport enthusiasts will love the wide variety of activities they can enjoy here: Hikes and trails with support cables, the fitness course, golf courses, mountain guide centers, paragliding schools, and horseback riding stables are all to be found in the vicinity. Bikers (mountain-bikers and touring bicyclists) can choose from a variety of routes (from "easy" to "challenging.") And don't forget the "Maratona dles Dolomites," the queen of the European long-distance races in which about 8,000 bicyclists from around the world participate each year.
