Review of trekking in the Italian Dolomites last September!! 🏞️ Introduction to Alpe di Siusi Alpe di Siusi is the largest alpine meadow area in the Dolomites, and is also called the roof of the world! You can see the green meadow scenery with the magnificent rocky mountains in the background. There are many gentle trails that are not difficult, so even I, who am not used to trekking, was able to spend 4~5 hours there! Also, you can capture the magnificent mountains of the Dolomites and the peaceful scenery of Siusi at a glance, so the photos turned out really great. It is a scenery you really have to see at least once in your life. 🗺️ Tips for traveling to the Italian Dolomites 1. Transportation: There is not much public transportation in the Dolomites, so it would be convenient to rent a car or join a local tour. I took the 350 bus from Bolzano Station every hour to Ortisei, then took the cable car to trek Alpe di Siusi. 2. Trekking equipment: The terrain of the Dolomites is relatively diverse, so it would be good to bring equipment such as trekking shoes or sticks. Alpe di Siui is a grassland area, so it was possible to climb with regular sneakers, but when traveling in the Dolomites, there are rocks and rough terrain, so I recommend shoes that support your ankles well!! #ItalyTravel #Dolomiti #NorthernItaly #DolomitiTrekking #Italy

Witnessing the Italian alps with my own eyes, specifically Alpe di Siusi, just breathtaking. This is definitely one of my highlights during my 16-day road trip in Europe.

In the last sunset in the Italian Dolomites, we decided to leave the alpine meadows of Alpe di Siusi. The huge grassland is undulating and undulating, forming beautiful light and darkness under the sunlight. Autumn trees, wooden houses are scattered randomly among these contrasts, as if someone had carefully constructed the picture. A small road leads to the magical Sciliar Mountain on the horizon. When the setting sun fell into the mountains, we thought that when everything was over, the gorgeous light returned to Yunxia in the midst of the fall, and the whole sky was dyed into blush, and Sciliars original gray-white dolomite mountain became One of the most peculiar faint rose purples. "Enrosadira", all of us can't help but scream, and this rare natural wonder has become the most precious parting gift we have received, and there is no regret in the journey!
