ABOUT THE TOUR

The Dolomites, one of the most fascinating places in the world among lovers of mountain and landscape photography, offer unique emotions every season. The Dolomites region comprises a mountain range in the north of the Italian Alps, with 18 peaks that exceed 3,000 meters in altitude and form one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes on the planet. The scenic beauty of the region is an invitation to photographers from all over the world, who go there in search of capturing landscapes that seem to come out of a fairy tale. The sublime, monumental and colorful landscapes of the Dolomites, in addition to several other factors, made UNESCO recognize the region as a World Heritage Site in 2009.

​

During autumn, the already spectacular landscape of the Dolomites changes color and becomes even more impressive. From the end of September, the region's vegetation begins to take on shades of yellow and orange, bringing a unique color to the mountainous landscape of the Dolomites. In addition to the autumn colors, at this time of the year the temperatures are starting to get lower and the mountain peaks are starting to present snow in some places. It's no wonder that photographers from all over the world seek out the Dolomites during autumn. This is the period where the beauty of the region reaches its apogee.


The regions of Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Cinque Torri, Passo Giau, Passo Falzarego, Passo Gardena, Passo Sella, Pale di San Martino, Lago Antorno, Lago Misurina, Lago Braies, Alpe di Siusi and Val di Funes are certainly among the most symbols of these mountains. And is  It is precisely in these places that you will experience this unique and unforgettable photographic adventure.
