Dolomites Holiday:
Cortina D'Ampezzo
3-10 July 2011
After the success of their walking holiday to Interlaken in
Switzerland in 2009, Stephen and his father this year had a week in the
Dolomites in northern Italy. We stayed in the town of Cortina d'Ampezzo.

From the Rifugio Faloria, at around 2120m, looking down on Cortina
around 900 metres below.

A close-up from the same spot shows Cortina in more detail. Running
through the centre can be seen the old railway line and accompanying
station; our hotel was close to the church whose large tower can be
seen.

The tall church tower, with its Westminster chimes and impressively
large and deep bells.
