Cinque Torri, Dolomites, Italy

Cinque Torri, or Five Towers, rise majestically in the heart of the Dolomites in the province of Belluno, within the Veneto region of Italy. They offer the perfect refuge from the summer heat and crowded beaches. Each tower has its own story to tell: of ancient civilisations, adventurous hikers, daring climbers and distant battles. Shaped by time and weather, these Dolomite spires played a strategic role during World War I, and it is still possible to explore the trenches and remnants of that conflict-scarred past. However, nature is stronger than history.

Today, green pastures embrace the towers, the wind carries the scent of pines and a clear sky opens above paths that beckon you to explore. Streams meander through flower-filled meadows while birdsong accompanies every step. Walking among the Cinque Torri means breathing in freedom and fresh air and listening to the silence of the mountains, far from the noise of the city. Whether you are climbing, taking photographs or simply contemplating, this place invites you to rediscover yourself.
