Updated: Apr 10

The Dolomites, a stunning mountain range located in northern Italy, are renowned for their breathtaking beauty and natural splendor. While many travelers choose to spend several days exploring this region, a 1-day excursion in the Dolomites can be equally extraordinary.

Imagine standing at the edge of a serene mountain lake in the heart of the Dolomites. The crystal-clear waters reflect the majestic peaks that surround you. The air is crisp and filled with the scent of pine trees.


This is the perfect setting for a once-in-a-lifetime romantic marriage proposal.

Itinerary: Venice - Cortina - Misurina lake - Braies lake - Val Pusteria


The Natural Marvel of the Dolomites and the Unique Color Effects

The Dolomites are renowned for their natural marvel known as the "enrosadira," which is responsible for the region's unique and stunning color effects. The enrosadira is a spectacular phenomenon that occurs during sunrise and sunset, giving the Dolomites their distinctive hues.


Here's what makes this natural marvel so special:


Enrosadira


The term "enrosadira" originates from the Ladin language spoken in the Dolomites region and translates to "turning pink." During sunrise and sunset, the Dolomite mountain peaks, composed of a particular type of limestone, undergo a remarkable transformation. They shift in color from their usual pale gray or white to vibrant shades of pink, purple, and even fiery red. This stunning transformation is due to the scattering of sunlight and atmospheric conditions.

Limestone Composition


 The Dolomites are predominantly composed of a unique type of limestone called dolomite, named after the French geologist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu. This limestone contains minerals and compounds that react to sunlight in a way that creates the enrosadira effect.

Atmospheric Conditions


 The vivid color display is also influenced by the atmospheric conditions at sunrise and sunset. The angle of the sun's rays, as well as the presence of dust and moisture in the air, contribute to the scattering of sunlight and the stunning color effects on the Dolomite peaks.



Breathtaking Spectacle


 Visitors to the Dolomites are treated to a breathtaking spectacle as the mountains transition through various shades of pink, purple, and gold during these magical moments. It's a sight that leaves a lasting impression and is a must-see for anyone exploring the region.

We suggest you a potential scenario to set up the scene for your Moment.




The Moment


As the tour guide leads you to the edge of Misurina lake, you notice a beautifully arranged picnic spot under the shade of a towering pine tree. A blanket is spread out with a basket of your favorite foods and a bottle of sparkling wine.

You and your partner sit down, taking in the breathtaking surroundings. The moment is perfect, and you can feel your heart racing with anticipation.


The Proposal


With the Dolomite peaks as your backdrop, you turn to your partner, take their hand, and begin to speak from the heart. You express your love, your dreams, and your desire for a future together.


And then, with trembling hands, you reach into your pocket and reveal a small velvet box. Inside, a glistening engagement ring awaits its moment. You ask those four words that will change your lives forever: "Will you marry me?"


Tears of joy fill your partner's eyes as they nod enthusiastically, and you slip the ring onto their finger. The Dolomites themselves seem to celebrate with you as the mountains echo your happiness.


This is just a scenary idea, but we can arrange the proposal according to your suggestions and personalize accordingly to your preferences. You can arrange everything with your guide.
