Reply to comment by joeclarkestudio in Evening light in the Dolomites, Italy [2000x2000] [OC] by joeclarkestudio

I've stayed twice in the Dolomites, and many other places in the world too. It's the only spot where both I and Mrs. 1LW have considered making a semi-regular (like, once-a-year) destination. The scenery, the hiking trails, the unpretentious locals, the hearty food & wines... all 100% top-tier. (If they could only fix the peak-season traffic in the Val Gardena.)

Anyway, beautiful shot. I'm ready to go back.

We're thinking about going. Do you have an itinerary to share?

Our first trip there, 13 years ago, we based in Selva/Wolkenstein (every town has like two-three names, btw). So many great places to go and see, but for god's sake don't miss Seceda. Here are our pix, broken out by location: https://onelittleworld.zenfolio.com/f14888621

More recently, we based in the Val di Fassa in town called Vigo/Viche. Equally stunning area, but a little less jammed with tourists (thankfully). Once again, categorized by location, here are some pix: https://onelittleworld.zenfolio.com/dolomites2019

MODS: I realize these albums include shots that are not EarthPorn-ready, per rule 2, but this guy is looking for recommendations. With that in mind, I hope you'll let this post stand. Thank you.

My wife is a flight attendant and we’ve traveled quite a bit of places. Dolomites is legit the place where we say we’d go once a year. It’s incredible.

So... that offhand musing turned into a discussion with the missus. Which turned into the beginnings of a plan. Late summer '24, most likely.

It's happening.
