5 Hidden Hiking Destinations Like the DOLOMITES (Before the Crowds Arrive)

Описание: The Dolomites are incredible for hiking — limestone peaks, rifugio culture, and alpine trails that rival anywhere in the world. But they're also overrun with crowds, 7 AM parking chaos, and rifugios that book out 6 months in advance. These 5 hidden hiking destinations in Europe give you the same Dolomites experience: dramatic limestone mountains, mountain hut to hut trekking, multi-day alpine routes, and that authentic refugio lifestyle. What you won't expect? One of them is closer to Florence than the Dolomites are. Another has peaks made of marble that literally glow. All five have empty trails, same-week bookings, and the mountain culture the Dolomites had 15 years ago. This is where to go for Dolomites-style hiking before the crowds discover these alternatives.
