The Dolomites have got a long history. The “most beautiful mountains in the world” or “Monti Pallidi” (Pale Mountains), how they are often called, are about 200 million years old, but do not suffer a loss regarding their beauty. In 2009, these mountains have been added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The name can be attributed to the French geologist Déodat de Dolomieu, which defined the rocks of these mountains. The most important mountains are the Funes-Braies Dolomites, the Sesto Dolomites with the famous Three Peaks of Lavaredo, the Sciliar, the Catinaccio, the Latemar and the Odle-Puez mountain chain. The highest peak is the Marmolada (3,342 m asl) with the only large glacier in the Dolomites.
