National Park of the Belluno Dolomites

Italy’s part of the Alps ranges all the way from the French border in the west to the Slovenian lakes in the east. However, there’s perhaps no more striking a part of the region than the Dolomites. They hit a certain zenith near the romantic town of Belluno, where the massifs of the Alpi Feltrine and the twisted tops of the Pizzocco rise high. Below those snowy summits are rolling alpine meadows, turquoise rivers, and pockets of scented pine trees, not to mention fantastic rifugio that serve hearty Italian mountain food and local wines. Hands down one of the best things to do in Italy.
