My heart belongs in the Dolomites

This place will forever have my heart. No matter where you look, you’ll gasp. 

Lake di Misurino

Biker or cyclist these mountains are made for you. Swinging around the corners as the sports cars, campers, trucks and travellers fly by. They’re crazy. And amazing.

The thunderstorms that roll over the cliffs are like nothing else. This storm exploded over the grounds at Seiser Alm campgrounds (highly recommended). We pulled out the chairs as the rains dried up and stayed up in the little hours of the morning watching the lightning pass.

Lago di Spiaggia - this exact shades on both sides of this huge lake.

The vineyards you pass through and the orchards of fruit show how alive these mountains are. They’re crispy, fresh and abundant. They hold you and you’re home.
