#February travel support event Do you know where this is?? I intentionally took representative pictures of hidden gems!! I think it's a place you probably wouldn't expect!! Right, right, right!!… !!!!!! ITALY!!🇭🇺 Italy There are many people who have been to Italy, but I think there are many who don't know about it, so I'm introducing it~ The first picture is Dobbiaco! Lake Tobbiaco is in a place called Bolzano. That place is full of local tourists and cute dogs! That place is almost adjacent to Austria, so you probably won't go there when you travel, but it was such a pretty place..ㅎ The second and third pictures are of Lake Carezza?? This is also in Bolzano. The color of the water is so incredibly pretty! Before going to Venice, I went to a place called Ortisei. I drove there and was really surprised!!

#FreeHotelStay I would like to introduce some recommended places around Cortina d'Ampezzo (1,224m above sea level), Italy, which will be the venue for the next Winter Olympics. I think that traveling around the Dolomiti by rental car is by far the easiest way for travelers to do so. Lago di Carezza, known as the "Jewel of the Dolomiti," is known for its spectacular natural scenery. The lake is surrounded by beautiful conifers, and depending on the weather, even the conifers reflected on the lake's surface create a mystical atmosphere. The lake is located at an altitude of 1,520m, so the air is cool and clear. There is a promenade around the lake, and it takes about 20 minutes to go around it. There is also a bus from Bolzano Station. About 30 minutes.

I was amazed by the picturesque scenery and jagged peaks here, but I must say that winter here is even more beautiful, and it's also the host of the Winter Olympics. Although summer has just ended in most parts of Italy, the Dolomites unexpectedly welcomed the first snowfall of the year last week, earlier than in previous years. In the last month of 2024, spend your time in the Dolomites and explore the winter wonderland.
