The Dolomites of Northern Italy are a region rich in culture and tradition. The Dolomites, an extension of the Alps, contains 14 distinct mountain massifs, 7,000 miles of trails, 1500 unique wildflowers, excellent local cuisine and regional cultures that vary from valley to valley. They are a spectacular place to hike, mountain bike ride, paraglide, rock climb or via farata. John Sarbo’s audio-visual tour will include the cultural center of the Dolomites, Val Gardena. Encompassing the three villages of Selva, St Christina and Ortisi, Val Gardena is quaint, majestic and homey all at once, with wonderful wooden carvings of religious subjects and scenes from daily life. Val Gardena is also home to many impressive mountain massifs.
