The Stone Guardians

The Three Peaks (Italian: Tre Cime di Lavaredo) are a prominent massif in the Dolomites on the border between the Italian provinces of Belluno in the south and South Tyrol in the north. The imposing rock formations formed over 200 million years ago and represent one of the most recognizable landmarks of the Dolomites and South Tyrol (I). Due to their exceptional beauty, the Dolomites with the Three Peaks are dignified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. The ‘call’ of the Three Peaks attracts numerous visitors every year, who will experience an unforgettable and impressive spectacle of changing colors from cool gray to glowing red. The Three Peaks tower over the eventful contemporary history of Tyrol and South Tyrol like stone guardians.
