Winter Wonderland in the Dolomites (CANNOT believe this is Northern Italy!!!)

- Northern Italy is so different than Southern Italy! This is our second time visiting the Dolomites and we fell even more in love with this area than before...and we didn't think that was possible. :) This time, we experience a winter wonderland, take in the mind-blowing views, and attempt tobogganing.

I’m a 72 year old American living in Sweden and throughout this video I kept thinking, “You are going to blow your socks off the first time you encounter Norway.” About 22 years ago my husband drove us from Gothenburg, where we were celebrating Easter with family, up through Oslo, Norway to the nearby mountains. I am simply telling the truth. We drove around a corner and the view was so stunning that I burst into tears. Overwhelmed with gratitude and awe. You know how there are places where you simply cannot avoid the existence of a bountiful Creator. (Please note that this is not a question. It is a confirmation.) Norway is one of them. I have not had the joy of visiting the Dolomites, but I have no doubt that I would react as you have. Do you understand how powerfully healing your videos are, showing the delight of healthy relationships? Bless and thank you for sharing your journey with us! Now to MY mundane. I follow you faithfully for my own joy. I don’t want to identify myself every time as “the 72 year old American woman living in Sweden”. My name is Jerri Hådding. I plan, however, to identify myself in the future as “72/7”. Because just now I am 72 years old and because the number “7” has a special meaning for me for many reasons. Among them is the fact that, from my personal experience (including myself 😖🤗), seven year olds KNOW EVERYTHING and they never pause to inform you that what you think you know is wrong when they believe that they are right. The challenge for us older persons is that they are so often right. (Good luck with Willa!)
Hi Jerri! What a meaningful and fun comment! We love learning more about you. 😊 We haven’t been there but we absolutely know you are right- we would DIE over Norway. 😍 All of the pictures are breathtaking. Thanks again for your support!
@@OurStorytoTell I second that. I have been to Norway a few times and it's really stunning. Saltstraumen made me think of the novel "maelstrom" from Edgar Allen poe. All those fjords, waterfalls.
But I also enjoyed Lapland in Sweden. Never-ending forests of mountain pines. And no one else there. I was so smitten that I was thinking of moving to Kiruna
What an amount of nice memories for your whole family including your parents. Stunning footage as always but as well a lot of fun. Was laughing hard about Risa carrying Tanner. And Willa is just one of a kind - "happy hippos & bubbles" 😂
Hey Risa is strong, right?! Seriously, Willa is hilarious and makes us laugh all the time. She’s one of a kind!
I am so happy, you guys have such an amazing time! Enjoy. Willa is so lovely, curious and sweet. 😀😃
Wauw Fantastic footage Sure is Beautiful in the winter too 😍 your parents are sure enjoying them selfs.
😅 willa Happy Hippos & Bubbles so cute .
Safe travels & Have a Great week 🥰
I'm glad seeing you happy together .☺ Have a nice sunday.
Thanks Conny Catlady! We hope you have a great Sunday as well!
Great video, beautiful scenery. Thanks for brining joy and happiness, it is highly appriciated
I just ❤️LOVE❤️the Alps and the Dolomites both in summer and winter!! It’s simply breathtaking 😍🤗😍
What a beautiful video!! Loved every moment of it. You are great people, do great travel and make the best out of everything 🥰
Thanks Ursula! Isn’t it incredible?
Salve. Many people thing about Italy just culture,history,art,cuisine and architecture.but we have a beautiful nature and different landscapes, mediterranean beaches. vulcanos.Alpine landspapes like in Valle d' Aosta,Lombardia,Piemonte,Friuli Venezia Giulia are so beautiful.Greetings from Rome
Being to the Dolomites countless times now I can fully understand your feelings.
It's just such a fabulous region no matter if summer or autumn...let's meet there someday 😊
Seriously, we are in love with the place. Hoping to get out and hike more over the upcoming years cause it’s too beautiful! It might be hard for us to plan for a get together, but when we know we are going there again we will try to remember to reach out :)
Italy is everything from Trento to Milan to Florence to Rome to Naples to Sicily. It is everything in this beautiful country.
With all the sh*t happening in this world, it is good to see peaceful places and soothing nature still being around. I am happy that traveling is possible again and will be in the Alps soon! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
We’re happy that travel is opening up again as well. It’s tough to see war, fighting, and so many hardships going on in the world. We can’t forget about them or turn the other way, but it is nice to have a chance to step away from it all in nature so we can reset and recharge. Wishing you the best and hopefully you’re able to enjoy traveling again soon :)
Thanks for taking us along!
We’re glad you enjoyed it!
I had already decided to go to the Dolomites this summer after your first video, but now I can't wait.
Enjoy! They are incredible as we’ve said so many times. Hopefully you can have some great weather during your trip!
So great to see that you liked Dolomiti! I always go there in the summer to climb those beautiful mountain passes by bicycle!
How incredible you do that! 😍 prime place to do it!
Wonderful video of the south tirolian alps! I was there a few years ago and also on the Sella-Pass. I used to take a little cable car there up to the Drei-Zinnen mountains.
It makes us happy we know both the areas mentioned! 😊 Such an incredible region!!
Hello Guys, I habe watched all your Videos singen Day 1. And I just want to say thank you, for that view in your life. I am always happy to See the Videos on sunday and sometimes on wednesday.
Its so cool to See how happy you are in the last time. You are smiling and have a gratis time, wherever you are. Makes me happy too.
Greetings from Rheinland-Pfalz
Such a meaningful comment. 💛 Thank you for watching our videos! Knowing that it brings you happiness means a lot to us. It’s exactly how we hope people feel. 😊
"Happy Hippo" Willa so adorable 😍😂
Yes, there are really beautiful places in the Alps and all over the world...
Some of them look nice with snow in winter and when it's green in summer too. Also Norway, it has many "faces", in summer or in winter on a beautiful winter day with blue skies ... or roads are even closed during snow storms...
The Dolomites are one of my favorite places on earth
Same with us! Happy to hear you’ve been!
Is it worth to go in the winter(december)?
Northern Italy is really a feast for the eyes....... - and then you went on to Venice? If you keep going like this, Willa won't remember her childhood room in Germany. 😁 Thanks for the nice video and thanks to Ferrero for this Italian delicacy “Happy Hippo". 🦛
Willa & Risa love happy hippos so much 😂 We have been to Venice but like 5 years ago. We didn’t go with my parents actually. We went back up to Germany and then crossed into a couple other countries. Stay tuned ☺️
Amazing scenery! And your ability to capture the gorgeous views is such an amazing talent. What a God given gift! Keep on filming and sharing ❤️. I am so enjoying your adventures ☺️
You are such a kind person! ❤️ We really love having you as part of our “extended family” 😊
Dolomites are really impressing and really nice in Autumn
We believe it. 😊 We can’t imagine a time they’re not!
nice video, the drone footage at the end is awesome
Drones give such incredible perspective, don’t they? We were extremely happy the clouds cleared up for us on our last day!
You’re absolutely right about the mountains here in the states. To see the real “beauty” of them, gotta strap on a pack and spends days getting around. One with nature doing that. 5, 10, 20 day trips in the backcountry out west for years
Now that I’m older, I went to the Dolomites for 3 days last year in September (stayed in Ortisei). Seceda completely blew my mind. I’ve never seen a place more beautiful.
Probably the reason I’m going back this year.
It’s such an incredible place! We love it!
Thank you.
Utah is one of my favourite places in US, but the Dolomites are my favourite in Europe, loved the Vlog 🇬🇧🇬🇧👏🏻🥰
Some of the best places- we can agree! 😊 Thanks for watching! We are headed to your country soon actually! 🙌
As I wrote in the comments under the previous video we moved from The Netherlands to East Tyrol. I am looking at the Austrian side of the Dolomites from my living room window right now. East and South Tyrol are VERY similar. We have been here for 11 years now and it is just such a healthy environment to be in.
It sounds so wonderful! We are happy for you! 💛
If you want to have amazing holidays, go to corsica, its the most beautiful place in europe and its called "little europe", because you have everything on a small island, big mountains, white caribic like sandstrands, a big variety of great food, nice little cities with great history and old buildings. Its mindblowing.
😃👍🏼🤣thanks for sharing ☺️👌
Thanks for watching! 😊
Es ist super dar die Kleine diese alle Reise mitmachen kann. Bleibt gesund. Gruß aus Kroatien 🇭🇷
Danke!
good shoting
Thanks for watching :)
Wow, happy hippos seem to have mad a big impact.
They are the real deal!
Dream country ITALY.❤
You should really visit Austria when the weather is nice for once, in May or June/summer. Of course they weather can be a bit sketchy in the alps in April still.
Hope you visited the snowy top of Etna in Sicily, you can have all the seasons you like in Sicily.
There’s a cool place in South West France that you guys can visit it’s called the Font De Gaume Cave and it has cave paintings that are 19,000 years old it’s very cool stuff
Spannend wohin ihr alles reist. Selbst ich war da noch nicht einmal 😄 Liebe Grüsse aus NRW
Wenn Sie die Möglichkeit haben, zu besuchen, sollten Sie es tun!
@@OurStorytoTell It‘s on my list now 😇

This is "T r e n t i n o - S ü d t i r o l" !
At this region the most people are very proud of her own l a d i n, italian and tyrolean culture and idendity
Especially if they are ITALIANS from Trentino & Veneto Region where most of Dolomites are! NO GERMANS!
Especially if they are "Tiroler" and "Ladiner" from "Provinz Südtirol" . They are no Germans and no
Italians
@@tummlo1 Germans means from Austria, possibly you don't understand? Ladini are people extremely similar to the rest of Northern Italians (I have expressively written NORTHERN ITALIANS), the ladinian language is part of reto-rumansch languages and spoken also in the ITALIAN region of Friuli (see Friuliana language).
You should learn something about Italy before to speak. Regards
@@tummlo1 Also people from Trentino and Veneto ARE NOT LADINI!!!!!!
You are completely illiterate about the structure and the languages spoken in Italy.

Tips to handle the sledge properly when it becomes steep.
Sit as far back as possible
and for turns no leaning right or left is required for making turns that is just increasing the ability to fall off the sledge although a bit of leaning does the body naturally anyway by every turn simply to hold balance but don´t lean "on purpose" so to say BUT use the feet by putting them on each side in the front of the sledge beside of the slegde´s vats into the snow for doing a turn..use the right foot´s heel for right turns and the left foot´s heel for left turns
and to reduce the speed/to stop take the 2 vats at the front in your hands and pull them a bit up in the air so that the back of the vats delve deeper into the snow, don´t use your heels to slow down...that will make the breaking process unstable and increases the chance to crash immensely.
Thanks so much! Great to know for next time! 😊
@@OurStorytoTell here you can see the technique as I described for a sledge you had (rigid vats)
th-cam.com/video/VsHh2FjkhNw/w-d-xo.html
there are also sledges which are build different (flexible vats) as well which are more for speed and there the technique is a bit different, so always keep an eye on which sledge you actually lend on the hill.
Here you can see the technique for flexible vats. th-cam.com/video/PtgVtkBWl44/w-d-xo.html
Way more fun are sledges with flexible vats obviously, but those are for the more experienced sledgers.
When exactly did you go? We’ll be visiting Selva di Val Gardena from 12.17 - 12.22. Wondering about active snow during that time. Thanks and great video!
We went the very first days in April in 2022. 😊
@@OurStorytoTell wonderful, thank you.
Lucky you have a subaru 4 wheel drive is always best with snow
It did really well!
Hallo ihr drei/ oder fünf!!!🙋🏼♀️ ich bin gespannt was eure Eltern noch zu sehen bekommen und wie es ihnen gefällt!!
Ihr macht tolle Reisen und ich freue mich immer sehr über eure Videos! Wenn man hier lebt übersieht man oft wie schön es hier ist!!!😉
Ich wünsche euch jede Menge Reiselust und falls ihr mal in der Nähe seid, sagt Bescheid!!!!! Grüße aus dem schönen Oberfranken!!!!🙋🏼♀️Babsi
What month of winter was this? Trying to get a sense of what it might be like mid-December
Amazing ! Which month did you visited? Is this April?
Yes this is the very first of April of 2022!
I grew up in Italy, a few minutes from the Swiss border and right at the bottom of the Alps... This video makes me homesick
Liebe Silvia. Südtirol wird nie zu Italien gehören. Tirol wurde entzweit, nachdem Italien Österreich verraten hat. Das ist leider die traurige Wahrheit.
@@edelwei1690 Alto Adige is in Italy, you like it or not 😄
@@edelwei1690 and btw Dolomites are also in Trentino, not only in Alto Adige ;) maybe you should learn more about geography and history
@@silmuffin86 Im Herzen werden wir immer zu Österreich gehören! 🇦🇹❤️🇦🇹 If you like it or not.
@@edelwei1690 Dolomites are in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia too.you have no idea about geography.Und Süd Tirol oder Alto Adige ist Italien ob es dir gefällt oder nicht.Dein Problem.
The kind of sledges you were using are turned by pressing your feet or shins against the front part. Like on a olympian racing sledge.
Thanks for sharing! We are going to have to go again and get the hang of them. 😊
حسنا أنه مكان راءع وارغب في العيش في أوروبا
What month did you visit. We want to go for my husbands 30th in March and hoping there will be snow
we are traveling to Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck and into Dolomites this late March. Roads from Bolzano to Dolomites maintained ok?
Have a blast! Such a fun itinerary 😍 They roads were maintained well in our opinion :)
@@OurStorytoTell awesome. Love the video. We are subscribed
I recommend snow chains in the Alps in the winter.
We can agree that they would be helpful!
What is the time of year you visited Italy in the video? Im thinking of going to Italy in January :)
This was actually the first of April! January will likely be a winter wonderland 😊
I love italy. It's not far from beautiful tuscany in the summer to the dolomites in the winter. Even from Germany it's not far. One of the good things about europe is that so many countries and cultures are so close to each other. Europe itself is smaller than the US so no surprise, but still.
PS: AWESOME drone shots!!!
Why wouldn’t you believe that? Italy is in Europe, not in South America, all European counties have cold winters and similar landscapes
Italy in most outsiders' eyes is the milder regions, except for those who are interested in mountaineering or winter sports, for the most part.
I'm Turkish and I've been to Sicily in October and it was perfect, but I would not be able to bear it in summer as I am more adept to cold. I'd like to explore the cold North of Italy as well, hopefully with a lot of snow.
What time of year is this?
This is almost exactly a year ago so the first of April.
Hi, when did you take this video? In which date?
In April of this year :)
Hi guys, I would have bet that you take your parents for a trip to the Dolomiten. Indeed, its a ver beautiful area in north Italy. I had to work once in Bruneck and met heartwarming and friendly people. Even in this part the scenery, landscape, houses was amzing. I am sure, at least one week each year, you will spent a week there. You have found your constant holiday destination. Next time you should try bob sliding we call it to make a Gockel. One person lay down on the bob like they do on a skeleton and the other person sit on top of it and than lets go down the hill. Accidents may happen but its just snow. And have you built a snowman with Willa ? Is she excited about snow ? Adia does th-cam.com/users/shortsq_NzBNRiTpA There many others of her skiing just 3 years old. You have to watch some vids. How was the tirolian food ? They are well known for bread, cheese and ham but also for italian pasta. Dont go for pizzeria just look for Gasthaus or Gasthof sort of restaurants. I am sure you realized they speak german as well. A big advantage for you, an american tourist who speaks german. More doors will be open for you. Wish your parents an unforgetable time visiting you ! Btw, asperagus season started, still expensive, but as I remember you also tried white asparagus here first time. With cooked potatoe, scrambled eggs and ham(westfalian style) and asparagus, delicous.
Hi, where are you now?
Bellissimo💚🤍❤️
We agree!
.
This is "T r e n t i n o - S ü d t i r o l"
Its a political and cultural "autonome Provinz und Region"
I only go rome, florence and fancy places. No bogu iza nogu.
We totally get how the mountains aren’t some peoples favorite places. We’re excited to see Florence and Rome sometime too!
It's so funny. Since you have visitors from USA you are speaking such American english. Different than before. Im interested, does Willa now speak a little german since shebi going to Kita? Have a great time with your visitors.
We noticed that too! Funny how we subconsciously change our accents based on the people we are with 😂
Thanks!
will you actually take european culture with you to america or give it all up?
Great question! Hard to say at this point, but I’m sure many things we are learning and adopting in our lives from Europe we really love and hope to keep them with us. We try to take the best habits and viewpoints from both places :)
@@OurStorytoTell
OOR; you could buy some guns, a wooden house with lots of a/c, a big gas guzzling suv, and lock the kid away and drive it around, not walking anywhere anymore. wouldn‘t that be great?
you must change the usa, or you‘re complicit. the world is not a free for all. either improve it or be the cause of our children‘s misery.
Although South Tyrol now belongs to Italy after the First World War, it is still Austria at heart! 🇦🇹❤️🇦🇹
Because it isn't Italy. There is a reason people speak German there and still fight for their independence after all these years.
WTF are you telling about, Minority, they love to be an italian than to be austrian. In short they want to be happy people rather to be sad. Why the Swiss speaks Italian as a major language in Canton Ticino, because it is Italy, same thing. You have to go back in school to learn european history.
@@boytiti5446 You have to go back to school to learn English. Then it might be possible to have a discussion on this.
@@yaneyd93 Stop using Google Translate; you're using incorrect grammar and out of context. Hahahaha ... Include an English language lesson in your curriculum.
The areas you visit are in Italy, but they are not Italy. The population there are Tyroleans (an Austrian or German ethnic group) and Ladins (an ethnic group with a Rhaeto-Romanic language, settled in Badia, the Val Gardena and the Val di Fassa for centuries).
The Italians living in the region there were mainly settled there by Mussolini in the 1930s after the former Austrian areas between Brenner and Lake Garda were awarded to Italy after the First World War. Mussolini attempted compulsory Italianization, which he only succeeded in doing in Bolzano.
Today, South Tyrol and the surrounding area offer a perfect symbiosis between the positive sides of the Tyroleans and Ladins with their culture and a part of the Italian dolce vita and the Italian-Tyrolean cuisine.
In fact, an outstanding area - almost a paradise on earth.
this is Italy, STOP!
@@intersezioni Of course, this is Italian territory. In a united Europe, however, that shouldn't matter at all. It is.
Certo, questo è territorio italiano. In un'Europa unita, tuttavia, questo non dovrebbe avere importanza. È.
So interesting to see some different points of view about whether or not this is the true Italy. It definitely is a different region compared to Palermo or Rome, or Florence, but we love it regardless.
@@OurStorytoTell Yes that's right. But the Italy of Palermo is no longer to be found north of Rome. The country is very diverse and that is what makes it so interesting. Incidentally, this applies to many European countries, including Germany.
In Italy, what is special about South Tyrol is recognized by the fact that it is an autonomous province with extensive powers to shape itself. Nobody will want to go and detach the territory from Italy anymore. This was not undisputed until the 1960s ("Bumser"). A renewed revival of demands for a secession from Italy would at best be possible if a right-wing government were to take office in Rome again and want to break away from the EU. South Tyrol would definitely not go along with that and go back to Austria.
@@chavbristol2793 The Alps are NOT all "sud tirol" but most of them are ITALY and northern Italy so STFU with your racism and remember sud tirolesi have only to thank their autonomy of keeping 90% of taxes in their territory! and 35% of people in Sud tirol is Italian-speaking or Ladin speaking so you know nothing!!!!
the dolomites are in southtirol a little complicated for americans bud it should be explaned if you love the area
Part of the Dolomites are in Trentino and part in Veneto too.
@@Cignallo1789 yes you are right bud they should explane the cultura situation to americans better and not ower do the north italy thing without a foodnote of the area
It’s true, we are beginning to understand that the area is more than just a border that makes the Dolomites part of Italy. We’re learning as we go, but these mountains are in fact in Italy, aren’t they?
@@OurStorytoTell Of course they are
@@OurStorytoTell hi Guys! You are totally correct, but what they will never admit is that these mountains have always been inhabited by Italian populations, for example the population of the province of Trento has always been Italian even if governed by Austria. The Ladins who live in the valleys you have visited are not very Germanic. They also never say that the Germanic peoples arrived in 700 AD. and that before they were inhabited by Roman people, we all know that even then there were wars to take the territory. For me the beauty of these places also comes from the meeting and peaceful coexistence of these three cultures, otherwise we will be talking about a normal German village or a normal Italian village.
This is first and foremost South Tyrol, even if it is Italy today. This is a blunder. You have to know the bloody story behind it, by no means peaceful.
Dolomites are mostly in VENETO italian region, where ITALIAN and local veneto (Belluno) dialect is spoken, NOT GERMAN! So please learn before writing!
Look for "Belluno Dolomiti" and learn something!
South Tyrol is NOT Italy!
It is..and the ladin valleys including gardena and badia are ethnically and linguistically closer to the rest of italy than they are to austria. In fact the autoctonous population (the ladins) come from the romans and not from the germanics. And the autoctonous language (ladin) is a romance language and comes from latin. Not from protogermanic. So from an ethnic and linguisitc point of view the ladin valleys must belong to italy and not to austria. And not only they must belong to italy but they must be removed from the province of bolzano and annexed to the province of trento. Or better form their own province of ladinia.
And the rest of southtyrol still must belong to italy due to geographical political and historical reasons.
Saying it must belong to austria because historically it belonged to austria doesnt make sense. Because it is like saying that Austria can annex slovenia because slovenia historically belonged to austria until 1919 or that russia can annex finland because historically it belonged to russia until 1919. Or that germany can annex alsace lorraine and italy can annex corsica. Saying austria can annex the german ethnic part of southtyro due to ethnic and linguistic reasond l is like saying that germany can annex the german ethnic part of alsace lorraine and italy can annex corsica.

That’s South Tyrol not north Italy 🥺🥺

We have the most UNESCO sites in the world.
So next time you if you come here believe it that we have everything in here 😎
