On the 26th of June 2009, the UNESCO declared the Dolomites a World Natural Heritage Area for their unique and monumental beauty.Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Queen of the Dolomites, is set like a jewel in the crown of peaks that surround the Ampezzo Valley.The natural architecture of the Dolomites, splendid in their harmony, offers unrivalled and majes­tic views, softened by forest-covered ridges that gently descend toward the valley.Another reason for which the Dolomites have been included in the World Heritage List is that their unique geo-morphological and geological properties have made contributions to the fields of science and culture.
