Dolomiti.org - Home page Dolomiti. A magic that has been repeating itself for millions of years. When day gives way to evening's first shadows, it casts an enchanting spell.
Pink rock faces, like the colour of the legend.
Like King Laurin's rose. And in that moment, in harmony between light and dark, nature's rays caress the peaks, needles, towers, bastions and ancient cliffs, kissing them like a dream, awakening emotions that warm both heart and memories. And then this wonder continues, through the moon's reflected white light, in waiting for the next flaming sunset. A nobleman and member of the French Institute, Dolomieu was also a geologist. In 1789 Dolomieu collected rock samples and sent these to the geologist Nicholas de Saussure for examination.
