Summer vacation in the Dolomites every day an adventure
„The first morning, just as I had such a good breakfast, Hans – the landlord – said to me:” Just the right day to show you my mountains, “and we were on our way to an unforgettable day experience. The great thing about the whole day, between romantic silence on the alpine pastures and hearty stop in rustic huts, was actually the friendliness and closeness of the people, who are here in the Villnöss valley with every little chat or “hello”.“

World Natural Heritage Dolomites our unique business card
The Council of the World Cultural Organization Unesco declared the Dolomites a World Heritage Site on June 26th, 2009:
“Thus, the Dolomites, of which a large part is located in our country, have achieved the world’s highest recognition for a natural site,” said Provincial Governor Luis Durnwalder and Provincial Council Michl Laimer. The latter was personally in Seville to accept the decision of the UNESCO World Council.
“With the title ‘World Natural Heritage’, the Dolomites have been awarded a unique business card,” emphasized Durnwalder after the decision of Unesco. For Laimer, the inclusion of the Dolomites in the list of World Heritage is “the culmination of our landscape conservation policy”, the area recognized by the Unesco in South Tyrol includes four nature parks and the Bletterbach gorge, whose protection has been provided for years.
“Unique monumental beauty”:
Laimer had traveled confidently to Sevilla, because the technical committee of the Unesco had examined the corrected second request of the five provinces involved in advance.
“It is a relief and a great pleasure to have Unesco’s positive decision,” emphasizes the Provincial Council, which emphasizes that the inclusion of the Dolomites in Unesco is also something special. “Crucial was not a special aspect, as is the case in other areas with the presence of fossils or volcanoes. The reason for including the Dolomites in the Unesco list is their ‘unique monumental beauty’, “says Laimer.
“Treating the natural heritage with respect and responsibility”
Both the provincial governor and the provincial council refer not only to the advertising effect and the recognition, which went out from the predicate ‘World Natural Heritage’, but also to the ‘internal’ effect.
“We hope that this official confirmation that we are living, as South Tyroleans, in a unique area around the world ensures that we treat this natural heritage with respect and responsibility,” says Laimer.
The World Heritage application for the Dolomites covers areas in five provinces. In South Tyrol these are the Bletterbachschlucht gorge as well as the Puez-Geisler, Schlern-Rosengarten with the Latemar, Fanes, Sennes and Pragser Dolomites as well as the Sexten Dolomites with the Drei Zinnen.
