The Dolomites – UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Dolomites are often referred to as the ‘pale mountains’ due to the colour of the rock face. Reinhold Messner, world-renowned extreme mountaineer from South Tyrol, is delighted to call them ‘the most beautiful mountains in the world’. If you’ve ever holidayed in South Tyrol before, you’ll know what he means. Nowhere else will you find such a diverse and impressive mountain range.

So, it goes without saying that we have to protect this true wonder of nature. In the last few years, we have made an even more focussed effort to use natural resources. Now, for example, we limit the amount of outdoor lighting we use, so that we can reduce light pollution by emitting less artificial light. We have also completely switched over to using hydroelectricity from South Tyrolean sources and our kitchen uses as many local foodstuffs as it can. Maintaining the magnificent mountain world we live in is incredibly important to us.
