2,170 mWhere to sleep and eat in the Dolomites
Sleeping and eating in the Dolomites is as much a part of the experience as the trails themselves. From high-altitude mountain huts where you wake above the clouds to family-friendly valley hotels, from alpine farms with their own produce to cosy wooden huts — each option suits a different style of trip, whether you're after adventure, rest or flavour.
Then there's the table: Dolomites cuisine tells the story of the meeting between Ladin, Tyrolean and Venetian traditions, with dishes such as canederli, casunziei, apple strudel and polenta with mountain cheese. Here you'll find the most beautiful huts to stop at or stay overnight, and the classic dishes not to miss.
Before picking a property, the question worth asking is about altitude: where to stay in the Dolomites. And the mountain huts are in the index by altitude and valley.
