The '''Dolomites''' ({{langx|it|Dolomiti}} {{IPA|it|doloˈmiːti|}}),<ref>{{langx|lld|Dolomites}}; {{langx|de|Dolomiten}} {{IPA|de|doloˈmiːtn̩||De-Dolomiten.ogg}} ([https://en.langenscheidt.com/german-english/dolomiten "Dolomiten"] in Langenscheidt German-English Dictionary); {{langx|vec|Dołomiti}} {{IPA|vec|doɰoˈmiti|}}: {{langx|fur|Dolomitis}}</ref> also known as the '''Dolomite Mountains''', '''Dolomite Alps''' or '''Dolomitic Alps''', are a [[mountain range]] in northeastern [[Italy]]. They form part of the [[Southern Limestone Alps]] and extend from the [[Adige|River Adige]] in the west to the [[Piave River|Piave Valley]] ([[Pieve di Cadore]]) in the east. The northern and southern borders are defined by the [[Puster Valley]] and the [[Sugana Valley]] ({{langx|it|link=no|Valsugana}}). The Dolomites are in the regions of [[Veneto]], [[Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol]] and [[Friuli-Venezia Giulia]],<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.italia.it/it/idee-di-viaggio/siti-unesco/dolomiti-le-montagne-rosa.html |title= Dolomiti, le montagne rosa |website= italia.it |language= it |access-date= 2020-07-02 |archive-date= 2021-11-29 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211129222827/http://www.italia.it/it/idee-di-viaggio/siti-unesco/dolomiti-le-montagne-rosa.html |url-status= dead }}</ref> covering an area shared between the provinces of [[Province of Belluno|Belluno]], [[Province of Vicenza|Vicenza]], [[Province of Verona|Verona]], [[Trentino]], [[South Tyrol]], [[Province of Udine|Udine]] and [[Province of Pordenone|Pordenone]].

Other mountain groups of similar geological structure are spread along the River Piave to the east—{{lang|it|Dolomiti d'Oltrepiave}}; and far away over the Adige River to the west—''[[Brenta group|Dolomiti di Brenta]]'' (Western Dolomites). A smaller group is called {{lang|it|Piccole Dolomiti}} (Little Dolomites), between the provinces of Trentino, Verona and Vicenza.

The [[Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park]] and many other regional parks are in the Dolomites. On [[List of World Heritage Sites by year of inscription#2009 (33rd session)|26 June 2009]], the Dolomites were declared a [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dolomitiunesco.info/en/the-dolomites-unesco-world-heritage-site|title=The Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site|website=Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage|language=en,de,it|access-date=4 May 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240204224547/https://www.dolomitiunesco.info/en/the-dolomites-unesco-world-heritage-site|archive-date=4 February 2024|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1237/|title=The Dolomites|website=[[UNESCO]]|language=en,fr,ar,es,ja,nl|access-date=4 May 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240425142450/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1237|archive-date=25 April 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Adamello Brenta Natural Park|Adamello-Brenta UNESCO Global Geopark]] is also in the Dolomites.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.unesco.org/global-geoparks/adamello-brenta|title=Adamello-Brenta UNESCO Global Geopark|access-date=17 January 2023}}</ref> The [[Geological Museum of the Dolomites]] (in Italian ''Museo Geologico delle Dolomiti'') is located in [[Predazzo]], [[Fiemme Valley]].

== Etymology ==
The Dolomites, also known as the "Pale Mountains", take their name from the [[carbonate rock]] [[Dolomite (rock)|dolomite]]. This was named after the 18th-century French [[mineralogist]] [[Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu]] (1750–1801), who was the first to describe the mineral.<ref>Saussure le fils, M. de (1792): "Analyse de la dolomite". ''Journal de Physique'', vol. 40, pp. 161–173.</ref>

== History ==
{{see also|White War#The Dolomites sector}}
For millennia, hunters and gatherers had advanced into the highest rocky regions and had probably also climbed some peaks. There is evidence that the Jesuit priest Franz von Wulfen from Klagenfurt climbed the Lungkofel and the Dürrenstein in the 1790s. In 1857 Irishman [[John Ball (naturalist)|John Ball]] was the first known person to climb Monte Pelmo. [[Paul Grohmann]] later climbed numerous peaks such as the Antelao, Marmolada, Tofana, Monte Cristallo and the Boè. Around 1860 the Agordin mountaineer Simone de Silvestro was the first person to stand on the Civetta. [[Michael Innerkofler]] was one of the climbers of the [[Tre Cime di Lavaredo]]. Later very important local mountaineers, known for many first ascents, were [[Angelo Dibona]] and [[Giovanni Piaz]].<ref>[https://www.dolomythos.com/de/lexikon/besteigung-berge.asp Die Besteigung der Berge - Die Dolomitgipfel werden erobert (German: The ascent of the mountains - the dolomite peaks are conquered)]</ref>

During the [[First World War]], the front line between the Italian and [[Austro-Hungarian Army]] ran through the Dolomites, where both sides used [[Mines on the Italian front (World War I)|mines]] extensively. Open-air war museums are at Cinque Torri (Five Towers), Monte Piana and Mount Lagazuoi. Many people visit the Dolomites to climb the [[Via ferrata|vie ferrate]], protected paths through the rock walls that were created during the war.

A number of long-distance footpaths traverse the Dolomites. They are called {{lang|it|alte vie}} ({{langx|de|link=no|Dolomiten Höhenwege}} – high paths), and are numbered 1 to 10. The trails take about a week to walk, and are served by numerous {{lang|it|rifugi}} (huts). The first and the most renowned is the [[Alta Via 1]]. [[Radiocarbon dating]] has been used in the Alta Badia region to demonstrate a connection between landslide activity and climate change.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Borgatti|first1=Lisa|last2=Soldati|first2=Mauro|date=2010-08-01|title=Landslides as a geomorphological proxy for climate change: A record from the Dolomites (northern Italy)|journal=Geomorphology|series=Landslide geomorphology in a changing environment|volume=120|issue=1–2|pages=56–64|doi=10.1016/j.geomorph.2009.09.015|bibcode=2010Geomo.120...56B|hdl=11380/640411|hdl-access=free}}</ref>

The ''[[Maratona dles Dolomites]]'', an annual single-day road bicycle race covering seven mountain passes of the Dolomites, occurs in the first week of July.

Other characteristic places are:
* Mount [[Pasubio]] and [[Strada delle 52 Gallerie]] (a military mule road built during [[World War I]] with 52 tunnels)
* [[Altopiano di Asiago]] and [[Calà del Sasso]], with 4,444 steps, the world's longest staircase open to the public.
