In 2009, the park was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Meadows full of alpine roses, clear mountain streams that rise in the rocky terrain and picturesque mountain lakes, such as the well-known Lake Braies and the Lè de Limo, are to be discovered between the peaks of the Dolomites – also called the “pale mountains”. The Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park is a popular destination not only in summer, but also in winter. The refuges are also accessible by snowcat in winter.
