DREAM DOLOMITES
YOUR GUIDE TO THE DOLOMITES
A project born on social media thanks to Nicola and Umberto, who were gradually joined by three girls, to tell the story of our beautiful Dolomites.
Dream Dolomites
it is a portal born from love and passion for these places, and their first book on the Dolomites will soon be available!
Hello to the whole Dolomiti Da Sogno team, welcome to Easy Travel Hosting! Congratulations for your project, which truly arises from the passion you have in common: the Dolomites. Could you tell us about yourself, how the project was born and how it is developing?
The project was born in the winter of 2018/2019, shortly after Vaia, with the aim of being able to give a dream back to our Dolomites, hit by bad weather. The project began with Nicola and Umberto, who in a young way, using social channels and the website, began to tell stories, excursions, and publish the best photos of a unique territory in the world.
Over time it evolved by inserting two girls from Val di Fassa (Camilla and Nicole) and a girl from Alta Val di Non into the team, who integrated perfectly into the team and began to make all their contributions by describing their areas with the eyes of those who see them every day.
Today Dream Dolomites is about to publish his first book on the Dolomites, with the best excursions to do in these areas and with some advice on how to best experience the mountains.
It is a book created in crowdfunding with the Bookabook publishing house, which will be published and delivered to bookstores and made available on Amazon starting from January 2022.
Except for this pandemic period, in recent decades the Dolomites have certainly become an increasingly sought-after destination for tourists and trekking lovers from all over the world. How did you experience this change? Have you seen your Dolomites lose a bit of their soul or has the impact of tourism been well absorbed?
True, in recent years the Dolomites have become a destination for tourists from all over the world, with some icons of the Dolomites such as the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lake Braies, Lake Sorapis, and many other areas that have been taken by storm, and which in our opinion have caused the true charm of life in the mountains to be lost.
Precisely for this reason, in the last period, our greatest objective has been to talk about the lesser-known areas of the Dolomites, in order to convince tourists that these mountains have wonderful places even beyond the more famous ones, and to "disperse" the whole mass of tourists elsewhere too.
However, we believe it is always a question of choices. We walked some paths during the summer season where we didn't meet more than 5/6 people for the entire duration of the excursion, and we will return to visit places like the Three Peaks or Lake Braies out of season, when there won't be too many people and it will be a pleasure to be able to experience the mountains as they should normally be experienced.
However, a note of merit goes to all the business owners for having been able to manage the flow of tourists from all over the world very well, and for allowing them to have an unforgettable experience in this area.
Parliamo della rubrica "Dolomiti a sei zampe", curata da Nicole: geniale! Com'è viaggiare e camminare per le Dolomiti con i nostri amici quadrupedi? Ci sono infrastrutture adeguate?
Absolutely yes! There are more and more structures and activities dedicated to our 4-legged friends. Now our 4-legged friends are increasingly part of our lives and our daily lives, we can take them almost everywhere.
What we would like to suggest to those who choose to enjoy a holiday in the mountains is first of all to always keep them on a leash, and not to go on too demanding excursions, remembering that dogs do not have the same physical stability as us humans.
There are many possibilities, an infinite number of beautiful places to discover, and our Nicole will try to help you discover them in the best possible way.
A topic that is always close to our hearts is respect for the environment and how a certain area behaves regarding pollution and separate waste collection.
The Dolomites, in the collective imagination, are a place with pure air and uncontaminated meadows.
Does this idea reflect reality or is the fight against pollution problematic in this area too?
Yes, this idea reflects reality, the result of many choices and respect for nature carried forward over the years. Ecological areas in each country where separate waste collection is carried out, and the always valid law of "taking the waste to the valley" help to keep the areas of the Dolomites as clean of waste as possible.
Unfortunately, many tourists, not knowing these "unwritten laws" and the good rules of life in the mountains, leave rubbish in the refuges and do not follow separate waste collection, but one of our great objectives is also to make our readers understand what are the good rules to follow to respect the mountains and thank it every day for the spectacle it gives us.
Only if we continue to follow a few small rules and respect them will we be able to continue to give us magnificent and unique scenarios in the world.
