Karersee - Carezza: Rosengarten Group
Tucked into the Dolomites beside Lake Carezza, Carezza is a place whose character is shaped by the pale dolomite ramparts of the Rosengarten Group. Known in Italian as Catinaccio, this massif forms part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site and rises above the forests, meadows and mountain roads of the Val d’Ega. Its serrated skyline includes the celebrated Vajolet Towers, a landmark of the range for climbers and hikers. The name Rosengarten, or “rose garden”, recalls the local legend of King Laurin and his enchanted garden, said to explain the rocks’ rosy glow. Carezza is also a compact mountain resort, with trails, lifts and accommodation connecting visitors with the surrounding high country.

Karersee–Carezza occupies a high Alpine basin in South Tyrol’s Val d’Ega, below the Latemar massif in the Dolomites. Nearby lies Lake Carezza, or Karer See, a small mountain lake whose water level and colours shift with the season and light. The Costalunga Pass stands close by on the Great Dolomites Road, an early-20th-century route between Bolzano and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The opening of the Grand Hotel Karersee in 1896 helped establish the area as a Dolomite resort. Forest paths and mountain roads lead towards the Rosengarten/Catinaccio and Latemar groups.

Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is renowned across Italy for the Dolomites, whose pale limestone massifs define much of its eastern skyline. This autonomous region follows the upper Adige basin, from vineyards and apple orchards around Bolzano to high valleys crossed by glaciers and Alpine passes. Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys. Medieval castles, Tyrolean customs and Italian city life meet in a borderland historically connected with Tyrol.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
