The Geisler Peaks are UNESCO World Heritage Site - together with the Dolomites

The Unesco world heritage committee has recognised the uniqueness of this Italian mountain group and placed it under protection. The weird towers and crags are favourite motifs for postcards and paintings, though they also make a splendid backdrop for outdoor pursuits such as walking, climbing and skiing. With an area of 141,903 hectares this protected area in northern Italy embraces parts of the provinces of South Tyrol, Trento, Belluno, Udine and Pordenone. Among the considerations which swung the decision to include the Dolomites in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's list of world heritage wonders are their geological history which is unique in the Alps, having been formed around 250 million years ago as a giant coral reef in the ancient Tethys Ocean.

The easy Adolf-Munkel trail beneath the imposing Odle/Geisler-Spitzen is one of the most impressive walks in the Dolomites.
