- Watch the full episode: • Austrian and Italian Alps The Dolomites, Italy's dramatic rocky rooftop, offer some of the best mountain thrills in Europe. Here, the region's Austrian history survives in a warm, blue-aproned, felt-hat-with-feathers way. The South Tirolean village of Kastelruth (a.k.a. Castelrotto), is a good home base for your exploration of the Seiser Alm (a.k.a. Alpe di Siusi), Europe's largest alpine meadow.

Someone give an OSCAR to that Camera crew..
This is the type of content everyone should be watching.
Thank you for sharing this video,it makes me want to keep watching.
It was our biggest surprise in Italy.. we were so blown away by these mountains when we went to Italy.. I think the beauty of this is not many have explored these mountains and it is so serene
Yes
Wow! It must have been an emotional experience. I'd never really known much about this spectacular mountain range until recently. The images are breathtaking. I don't know why "Britannica" would describe them as mountains that have eroded into "grotesque shapes"! Who calls a mountain "grotesque", lol!💓⛰💓😊
We be there in 2 weeks….stresa, maggiore, corvara, Milan, Naples, Sorrento. Capri. Then home. Love Italy 🇮🇹
The view @ 1:27 was nice
Italy is always amazing!!!
I cannot wait to visit Italy!
I visited this area as a teen in 1972. FABULOUS!!!
When I went to South Tyrol (called Alto Adige in Italian and SudTirol in German) for the first time in 1987 I thought I had died and gone to heaven. The Dolomites are spectacular! When Italy opens back up and you can visit, go along the Strada del Vino which is the wine route in Alto Adige from Salorno to Nalles via Bolzano - best wines anywhere.
(My dad was born in Trentino-Alto Adige and I still have family in Salorno in Alto Adige. When I lived with my cousins there in 1990 I lived like a native and not a tourist and have visited them a total of 7 times - living like a native is the only way to learn about the everyday life of the people. I speak Italian with the Tyrolean dialect and they speak no English (Italian and German) so brush up on either language before you go). Buon viaggio!
Is open, Italy officially mostly" white", indeed a gorgeous part of Europe, was there awhile ago for a week
Magnificent Italy !!!
I'm speechless to describe the beauty of Europe and I have request to all people that live in this world, please always stand with nature first🥇
👍
What a beautiful comment.💓🌎💓🌍💓🌏
A hidden gem
Was there in January 2020. I thought I could cross skiing in the alps out of my bucket list after I went up from Cortina. Then I drove back through Val Gardena and... my bucket list grew.
Cortina, for example, is not a German culture and language. It is situate in Veneto, wich regional capitale is Venezia.
One of Rick's very best videos. Pure pleasure to watch.
I have family in the Dolomites and it's truly breathtaking. My great grandma lived there during WWI
This makes me so happy!!! Cannot wait to explore Italy next year!!!♥️
With me 😒
@@Kali69001 go to africa both
Wow ! Wonderful video...❤
I traveled to Dolomites for the last time in 2019.
Wherever I go, I want to go again...
Breathtaking
Went there in 2019, we did a lot of cool hiking (Tre Cime, Cinque Torri, Lago Sorapis). I've never, EVER seen such magnificent scenery.
Beautiful Italy
Excellent video Rick. God bless you
Stunning! This is what we all need to be watching...beautiful scenery traditions families enjoying life...feeds our soul during challenging times
This feels like that we are actually in Europe!!😀
Visited in 2018…spectacular
Though it's an old video, loved watching it again. Rick, you're the best.
Such a beautiful place in summer but not sure how great it is to live there in the winter, road conditions, etc.
Magical as always. Stay healthy Rick and thank you for the beautiful video :)
Glad to see your travelogue after a long time. ☺️ . Another great Italian episode
Really awesome reportage of nice ITALY 🇮🇹 👍 well done like most of Rick's, ☕😎🥂
Alpe di Siusi and Castelrotto, is only a nine part of the entire system. Dolomiti, infact, are compose by 9 system. Rick talked about the nine mart of them situated in Bolzano province. The rest is magnificent and situated in Belluno, Trento and Pordenone province (all italian culture and language). Higher Dolomiti are in Belluno province.
WOW WHAT A VIDEO....ENJOYED IT SO MUCH...
Tears on my eyes
I never seen virtually 😂
Thank you Rick Steve.. Hope you are safe.. Take care
Why he wouldnt be safe?
Thank you so much for explaining the tirolean situation 😊
Love from India ....

Beautiful! I love these shorter versions! ❤
An amazingly beautiful country, some kind of fabulous !!
Thanks to the Dolomites video, I'm having a wonderful vacation in my room instead of going on vacation. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it. 🙏💖🥰
Just got back from our trip to the Dolomites!! Looks like we hit some good spots based on your recommendations Rick!
Why doesn't this guy have a big money deal with Netflix? I've watched nearly all his hour long videos 👍🏻 He sounds Canadian but I'm sure hes from Oregon or Washington or somewhere up north in the states. Imna Scot myself 🏴✝️🇬🇧
Good guess: He's from Washington. (the state) @@Rydonittelo
Thank you!!!!
Wao !! Very beautiful and full of greenery and feeling so relaxed!! A must visit place 👍👍.Thank you so much for sharing !! 👍🙏
Very beautifully crafted ❤️
Cracking video, Rick, really enjoyed the views where the scenery is king, and not like with lots of other bloggers, where their own face forms the scenery for most of the time. Great stuff, I have subscribed,
Beautiful
So beautiful lovely nice Village and city 🤝🌴👌🤝🇵🇰
I'm heading there in early Sept for a cycling trip. Hope the weather is good then
Fantastic Rick Steves.
So nice

This is absolutely amazing😍😍😍😍🤩. Kinda reminds me when I was in Lichtenstein
Really nice good to watching
Thanks for the video
It is touch my hreat
Lovely, great job 👍
Oh, so magnificent!
Amazing
Yes
Noooo again!! People from abroad always make this mistake. The Dolomites fall under Alto-Adige only for a small portion of their terriyory the big majority of them are under the Venetian cultural and historical region. Within the Alto Adige South Tyrol, the Dolomites are only a very small portion of the territory not the whole region
All the shown mountains in this video are in Südtirol
I've visited the Dolomites three times by motorcycle and hope to return. The region is one of the most beautiful in Europe and has some of the best food I've ever had. If you didn't know you were in Italy you'd swear you were in Austria, it's strange but I think that's the magic of it.
You beli3ved to be in Austria because you're misinformation about Dolomiti distribution. They are in Veneto region (Venezia area) for the most part...you visited a very small part of Dolomiti in Bolzano area... But there are Belluno area, Trento area and Pordenone area and they are the largest part not situate in a German culture and language
@@cristianmanni4109 You've made a similar reply about 6 other times. Give it a rest and move on.
@@daves5716 Necessary to do it against misinformation. Bye.
I like it, beautiful place I dream 😍
Very nice
I like it
I will be there September 2021.
💕😘😘💕💕😘💕😘 this is so nice
Nice, stay connected
I love you rick steves😍 lol
super
Glad some North Americans went to Italy to visit Other than the usual cliche places all Americans visit. We are a very diverse country. Each region has its own culture and dialects, or languages, food and geography.
I forgot the name of town in Italy, but when I got of the train, there were bunch of old men there with wigs , fishnet stockings and miniskirts and makeup and high heels, is that a style in Italy now for men?
Thank u Mr Rick a nice vedio’how is the weather in august? Thanks🎀
Pronto. RETURNING. DOLEMITES.
有生之年一定要去这里看一看
"Another greath andth wonderfulth videoth. Lovethia thee Rickth ❤️💖"
What are the names of the songs used in this episode, loved it?
ฉันชอบคุมากฯ
I'm planning on visiting south Tyrol in May. Is it worth it??
The Video look amazing
We will be there in October for 4 day’s in Dolomites star from Verona
Any suggestion for shot visit please
❤️❤️❤️
Rick, you only talked of the Dolomites as If they only are in South Tyrol. This is very disprectful for the other Dolomites territories, that are the big 80% of this region of the Alps. We all speak Italian here, you just mentioned the smallest part of this magnificent territory
I am sure he’ll get to your area too, calm down😂
Dolomits Italy with culture.Some of the best mountains thrills in Europe.Regions Austrian village history picture wall a father way history
Looks cold.
to tell the truth, with Kastelruth/Castelrotto you have taken one of the few examples that demonstrates that that area was inhabited by Italic populations originally and then by Germanic populations. The name "Kastelruth" derives from the Latin name "Castelruptum" now in Italian "Castelrotto". The first traces of the name are in Latin and date back to 980, and it means "Broken Castle". Even the first documents in German refer to this location with the name "dorff zu Castellrutt" which means Castelrutt village.
Nice video as always, but the biggest part of the Dolomiti is in Veneto, not South Tyrol
1:26 right side.
Does Rick ever reply to comments? I love his show!!
No he doesnot reply
What month did you visit on?
Dolomite is also a calcium supplement -- is there any relation?
👍👍👍
As a person who understands standard german I first believed I understand something of South Tiroleans but I didn't understand any word of the guys singing in this clip.
I am planning a camping (tent) trip to visit the dolomites in August. What is the average temperature and humidity like?
I am just concerned that it may be too hot for tent camping. Any information would be appreciated 😃
It really depends where you're planning to stay (low valley like Bolzano/Bozen or a higher village) and the weather you'll find. Sometimes it's 35° degrees in august and sometimes you'll find snow (if you're really unlucky and quite high up in the mountains). But usually, it's a great climate to go camping, just be prepared by checking the weather forecast beforehand
Can you stay overnight in the forest
Cortina 🇮🇹.
👍

What was the name of the lift he took in Ortisei? I missed it.
Seceda
Its name was seceda
Rick... There is still misinformation. Only 24% of Dolomiti is situated in place of 🇦🇹 origin. The 46% is in Veneto 🇮🇹 and everyone talk italian... 17% is in Friuli 🇮🇹 and the rest in Trento 🇮🇹 province. Here everyone talks italian.
Capisco..
