The site of the Dolomites comprises a mountain range in the northern
Italian Alps, numbering 18 peaks which rise to above 3,000 metres and
cover 141,903 ha. It features some of the most beautiful mountain
landscapes anywhere, with vertical walls, sheer cliffs and a high
density of narrow, deep and long valleys. A serial property of nine
areas that present a diversity of spectacular landscapes of
international significance for geomorphology marked by steeples,
pinnacles and rock walls, the site also contains glacial landforms and
karst systems. It is characterized by dynamic processes with frequent
landslides, floods and avalanches. The property also features one of the
best examples of the preservation of Mesozoic carbonate platform
systems, with fossil records.
