Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail II – from the Bletterbach to the Sexten Dolomites

A long-distance hiking trail through the fossilized marine landscape of the World Natural Heritage

In 2009, the Dolomites were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list due to their extraordinary landscape and geological value. From this arose the idea to design a trekking route through the Dolomites, which takes the hiker on a discovery tour through the fascinating geological history of these mountains and thus helps to understand the reason for their exceptional beauty.

The Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail explores the entire Dolomites World Heritage area in 47 stages. 10 of these stages run through the South Tyrol Dolomites and lead through some of the most charming and geologically interesting mountain groups of the Bleichen Mountains. Wonderful panoramic views open up again and again, the journey along this trail is full of contrasts, and hiking on the well-marked and maintained paths is a unique experience.

The Geotrail is a combination of long-distance hiking trail and educational path. The individual stages of this long-distance hiking trail can also be hiked as day tours, with almost always the possibility to use public transportation to reach the starting points and return from the end points. However, the challenge still remains to explore the Geotrail in 10 days, to take the time to immerse yourself in a unique world full of secrets, and to escape for a while from our daily, scheduled world full of hectic.
