We continue returning to the Dolomites in northern Italy where the mountains stand tall, and the beauty of nature never ceases to amaze us. And, not surprisingly, the old barns are still teetering on the hills.
On this visit we chose to spend a week in S. Christina, one of three villages in the valley referred to as Val Gardena. The area is one of the top ski areas in Europe, it also provides endless trails for hikers and bikers during the warmer months.
We enjoyed our long hikes along the valley and down the mountains. This area has unlimited bus service and ski lifts that bring hikers up to the higher points so they can enjoy downhill walks. Most visitors are equipped with walking sticks, quality hiking shoes, and clothing. Ron and I didn't exactly fit that image, however, we could still find miles of easy walks that were comfortable with our walking shoes.
Here are photos from that week in the Dolomites that continue to make this one of my favorite places in the world.
