🏔️ Discovering the Dolomites – Winter Magic in the Mountains

We absolutely fell in love with the Dolomites!

❄️ 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 I’d definitely recommend if you’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!

🚡 Merano 3000 – 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.

🌆 Exploring Bolzano & Merano
We also explored the nearby towns of Merano and Bolzano.
• 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 ☕
• Bolzano is a great place for food, history, and alpine-Italian culture all in one. Think pastel-coloured buildings, Christmas markets (if you’re there in winter), and cosy traditional restaurants 🍝

🌨️ Why Visit the Dolomites in Winter?
Whether you’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.

I’d love to help plan a trip here, whether it’s a winter escape, Christmas market break, or a full-on ski adventure. Just ask 💜
