The Dolomites are storybook mountains – a landscape where tales unfold. The unexpected flavours of food and wine, air so clear it seems to fizz, the scent of forests and wildflowers are all restorative. There is an idea that the craggy hills can cure issues – mental, physical, emotional – that the lowlands have caused. Gurus live on mountain tops. Doctors recommend mountain air. Away from the rush of lower altitudes, there is the hope that a less cluttered life here will offer peace, serenity and wisdom.
