2025 Sesto Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

🏔️ Attraction Introduction: Welcome to the fairyland of Northern Italy—the Dolomite Mountains, a place that is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also a pilgrimage site for every nature lover. Imagine the dawn's early light, the pink dolomite peaks gently awakened by the golden sunlight, each mountain tip resembling a meticulously crafted work of art, reflected in the emerald lakes, a beauty that seems otherworldly. 🌄 Itinerary: Day 1: Depart from Venice and take an early train or drive to Cortina d'Ampezzo, an elegant mountain town that is the ideal starting point for exploring the Dolomites. In the afternoon, stroll through the town, experiencing the perfect blend of classic and natural beauty, and consider taking a cable car up the mountain for a magnificent view of the entire valley. Day 2: Delve into the Tre Cime Natural Park and hike through the Val di Fiemme Zebrù valley, where the 'Tre Cime di Lavaredo' three peaks are the most iconic landscape of the Dolomites. Remember to bring your camera, as every frame is a wallpaper-worthy view. Day 3: Drive to the Sella Pass, passing through the Funes Valley, where the churches and mountain scenery create tranquil pastoral paintings. In the afternoon, enjoy a leisurely hike at the Sella Pass and experience the romance of walking among the clouds. 🍽️ Culinary Guide: In the Dolomites, tasting the authentic South Tyrolean flavors is an essential experience. Try the 'Canederli,' traditional dumplings made of breadcrumbs, cheese, and spices, paired with local wine for a heartwarming meal. Also, don't miss the 'Schlutzkrapfen'—pasta filled with spinach and cheese, another delicious treat. 🚗 Transportation Guide: • International Arrival: Most visitors choose to fly to Venice or Milan and then travel to the Dolomites by train or rental car. • Internal Transportation: Driving is the most flexible and convenient way to move between the valleys. If not driving, the local bus and cable car systems can also easily reach the main attractions, although the frequency is less, so plan your time in advance. ✨ Tips: • The weather in the Dolomites is unpredictable, so even in summer, please bring warm clothing. • When hiking, wear comfortable hiking shoes and carry enough water and food. • To protect this natural heritage, follow the 'Leave No Trace' principles, take all your trash with you, and respect the local ecology. The Dolomites offer not just a visual feast but also a spiritual cleansing. Here, every step is set to the rhythm of nature and culture intertwined, making it hard to leave.

When talking about Italy, one will think of Roman ruins, churches and murals; when talking about the Alps, one will think of Switzerland; the combination of Italy and the Alps is the marble mountains that I will introduce today - the Dolomites in northern Italy. It is about a two-hour drive east from Venice. The main town is Cortina, one of the host cities of the next Winter Olympics. It is surrounded by mountains. The balcony of the hotel room has a 180-degree mountain view. You don't have to travel and can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the golden mountain in the sun. The mountain view has three peaks and five towers. To see the three peaks in person, you need to walk for about two hours on a barren gravel road. The lake views include Lake Misurina, Lake Antorno and Durrensee, but they are not as stunning as the mountain views. #Overseas Travel #Italy
