The Dolomites are a range of mountains that are part of the Alps --but to my mind, there are (at least)three distinctly different areas: 1) the Dolomites --the major Venice-Klagenfurt highway runs through these; some of their best destinations are on roads that run perpendicular to this (i.e. parallel to the Austria-Italy border, within Italy) 2) Alto Adige/SudTyrol --the BrennerPass highway from Verona to innsbruck runs through this area; I think it gets quite a bit less snow in winter (not sure) --but this area of Italy is certainly very Alpine ("Tyrolean") and "Germanic" in culture.
