10 destinations in the Dolomites to photograph at least once

The Dolomites are wonderful, there's no doubt about it. Whether it's summer, winter, spring or autumn, the landscape is truly unique with its shades of colours and scents, with falling leaves, the pure white of the snow or the blossoming of flowers.

If you are a professional photographer or simply a photography enthusiast, you cannot miss the Dolomites, where taking photos is the order of the day. You will not even be able to move from one place to another in a short space of time without taking at least one photo of the mountains, the surrounding nature, the villages or the people. The best way to explore the world of the Dolomites is to experience it first-hand. Photographs bring back memories and allow you to capture the mountains in all their many facets.

All the Dolomite mountains and all the villages in Trentino-Alto Adige and Belluno are worth visiting and photographing. We recommend 10 of the most evocative and unique destinations to photograph at least once during your stay in the Dolomites.
