The Project
The Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail is a portal aiming to teach about the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and their geology and landscape. It does so by combining physical and virtual aspects all in one stop. The project was designed and developed by the Geological Heritage Network of the UNESCO Dolomites Foundation.
Important information! Firm footing, experience in the mountains, physical wellbeing and endurance are necessary requirements to take on this hiking trail. This website is not updated in real time: before getting on the trail, enquire about the trail conditions.
