Experience the mountains
What does a holiday in the mountains mean, especially in the Dolomites? Why set off in the morning with a backpack on your shoulders and follow the path that leads to the sky, first through the silent woods and then beneath towering rock faces? It's not poetry, it's reality.
Each of us will answer differently, and differently every day. Because the mountains are life, they are emotion, they are the warmth that fills you as you observe the ever-changing views. Because we have the mountains inside us.
