The Dolomites are a mountain range located in north-eastern Italy. It is a part of Southern Limestone Alps and extends from the River Adige in the west to the Piave Valley (Pieve di Cadore) in the east. The northern and southern borders are defined by the Puster Valley and the Sugana Valley (Val Sugana). The Dolomites are nearly equally shared between the provinces of Belluno, South Tyrol and Trentino.
There are also mountain groups of similar geological structure that spread over the River Piave to the east - Dolomiti d'Oltrepiave; and far away over the Adige River to the west - Dolomiti di Brenta (Western Dolomites). There is also another smaller group called Piccole Dolomiti (Little Dolomites) located between the provinces of Trentino, Verona and Vicenza (see the map).
One national park and many other regional parks are located in the Dolomites. In August 2009, the Dolomites were declared a natural heritage site by UNESCO.
Die Dolomiten, italienisch Dolomiti, ladinisch Dolomites, sind eine Gebirgskette der südlichen Kalkalpen, werden aber auch den Südalpen zugerechnet. Sie verteilen sich auf die italienischen Regionen Venetien (Veneto) und Trentino-Südtirol (Trentino-Alto Adige) (Norditalien) bzw. – zu etwa gleichen Teilen – auf die Provinzen Belluno, Bozen – Südtirol und Trentino. Seit 2009 gehören Teile der Dolomiten zum UNESCO-Weltnaturerbe Dolomiten.
