Evening light that transforms the mountains

Burning Dolomites

During the “enrosadira”, evening light washes the rock faces in shades of red, pink and orange, as if the mountains were glowing. This quiet natural spectacle changes from day to day, making even familiar silhouettes look new. Enjoy it from the village or on a peaceful evening walk, when the trails grow quieter and the Dolomites take centre stage. An understated moment that stays with you.
