๐Ÿ”๏ธ Discovering the Dolomites โ€“ Winter Magic in the Mountains

We absolutely fell in love with the Dolomites!

โ„๏ธ This part of Northern Italy is completely different to the rest of the country, think snow-capped peaks, alpine villages, fresh mountain air, and jaw-dropping scenery everywhere you turn.

We based ourselves in the beautiful village of Parcines, staying at Engel Apartments, which Iโ€™d definitely recommend if youโ€™re after a cosy, well-located base with incredible mountain views. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and waking up to that backdrop was something else!

๐Ÿšก Merano 3000 โ€“ Adventure Day!
One of the highlights was heading up to the ski slopes of Merano 3000. We took the cable car up into the clouds, enjoyed a few laughs on the toboggan runs, and then wrapped up warm for a scenic winter hike back down the mountain. The views were spectacular, a proper winter wonderland.

๐ŸŒ† Exploring Bolzano & Merano
We also explored the nearby towns of Merano and Bolzano.
โ€ข Merano is charming and relaxed, with a gorgeous riverside promenade and spa-town vibes, perfect for a slower pace and a bit of shopping or a warm coffee stop โ˜•
โ€ข Bolzano is a great place for food, history, and alpine-Italian culture all in one. Think pastel-coloured buildings, Christmas markets (if youโ€™re there in winter), and cosy traditional restaurants ๐Ÿ

๐ŸŒจ๏ธ Why Visit the Dolomites in Winter?
Whether youโ€™re into skiing, snowshoeing, sledging, or just soaking up the scenery, the Dolomites are amazing in winter. And the mix of Austrian and Italian culture gives it such a unique charm.

Iโ€™d love to help plan a trip here, whether itโ€™s a winter escape, Christmas market break, or a full-on ski adventure. Just ask ๐Ÿ’œ
