Introduction

Well, first of all, to start talking about Dolomites in the spring, we need to get to know it better. For that, I invite you to take a look at this post: Visiting the Dolomites! In summary, the Dolomites are a mountain range formed by the eastern Alps, and are part of the fifty Italian places that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. The area to which this recognition was given covers approximately 141,903 hectares of territory divided into three regions: Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, in addition to five provinces: Trento, Bolzano, Belluno, Udine and Pordenone; furthermore, it includes eighteen peaks that rise above 3,000 meters in height above sea level. Find out here where to stay in the Dolomites!

What is the best season to visit the Dolomites?

Already famous for ski lovers, the Dolomites can be visited all year round and, believe me, throughout the year it offers excellent walking options for the whole family! In today’s post, we will explore the Dolomites in the most beautiful season of the year, spring! Due to its location, even during the spring you will find some remnants of snow and, in some places, it is still possible to ski!

New to visit the Dolomites

One of the news of 2020 here is SkyAlps. SkyAlps is the new company based in the great airport of Bolzano, and was created to renew the connections between South Tyrol and the rest of Italy. The flight schedule is already working and offers great connections: daily flights to Rome (except on Sundays), a weekly flight to Calabria and another weekly flight to Sardinia (on Saturdays).

Internationally, we have a weekly flight to Vienna and, in the future, there will be a connection with Frankfurt (still under negotiation). Of course, they are smaller planes, with a capacity for up to 78 passengers, but it makes it VERY easy to reach the Dolomites via Bolzano. It was, indeed, a very important fact for connecting the Dolomites with the rest of Italy.

Good to know

This post was written in November 2020, during the world pandemic of COVID-19; Italy has some travel restrictions, and therefore, there is no guarantee of flights available to / from the locations mentioned via SkyAlps.

The route is about 200 kilometers long, starts at Madonna di Campiglio, crosses the Adamello Brenta Natural Park and goes up to Passo Campo Carlo Magno (at 1682 m altitude), offering a panoramic view of the Brenta Dolomites. Then, go down through the forest of Val di Meledrio passing Folgarida and, after a beautiful ‘collection’ of sharp turns, you arrive at Dimaro, in Val di Sole.

The route goes east through the landscape characterized by the apple orchards of the Val di Non, reaching Cles, then going on to Lake Tovel. The lake is surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Brenta Dolomites, and offers crystal clear waters! Then go back and go to Tuenno, Denno and Campodenno. From there, head to the incredible Lake Molveno, which offers excellent tourist facilities with restaurants, parks, pizzerias, hotels, etc. Great option for lunch and start your way back!
