Description
Snow dusted rugged limestone rock outcroppings stand out starkly against a brilliant blue sky and bright white clouds on a recent hike up to Rifugio Tuckett in the Italian Alps.
My companions and I started out in the hamlet of Madonna di Campiglia to make the 2,400 foot trek to the summit. What can I say, we were treated to spectacular views at every turn!
The Dolomites, located in northeastern Italy, has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is renowned for skiing in the winter months and mountain climbing, hiking and cycling in summer and late spring/early autumn, offering something for everyone year round.
On our latest trip, we chose to stay in Madonna Di Campiglio, considered the pearl of the Brenta Dolomites - Trentino. The town is discreet and elegant, nestling at an altitude of 1550 meters in the beautiful valley between the Brenta Dolomites and the glaciers of Adamello and Presanella. Although it ranks as Italy’s number one ski resort as well as one of the most important resorts in the Alps, we chose to visit in early Fall to take in the breathtaking beauty of the area while hiking.
