Santa Maddalena, Dolomites, Italy

Europe Trotter - Paris, France

Val di Funes is simply picture-perfect: a fairytale that is idyllic and enchantingly beautiful. The main landmark is the Odle/Geisler Dolomite Massif: its striking, pale towers of rock and mountain peaks make it the star of the show. Because of its unique monumental beauty, UNESCO has listed the Dolomite Mountains as a World Heritage Site. The world's great mountaineer, Reinhold Messner, comes from Val di Funes, and learned to climb here.
