Drei Zinnen, Sella, Rosengarten, Latemar, Marmolada –  with 3.343 meters the highest peak in this mountain range – and the famous first climbers: Grohmann, Winkler … The history of alpinism as well as tourism can be tracked in the Dolomites. Visit the probably most famous host and pioneer Miss Emma in Niederdorf. For those who want to dive deeper into history, an excursion to the Bletterbachschlucht is highly recommended.
