Alpine villages offer scenic alternatives to the Dolomites

Travelers seeking alternatives to the crowded and expensive Dolomites can find impressive landscapes in several Alpine villages. In Italy, Macugnaga in the Piedmont region offers views of Monte Rosa, traditional wooden houses, and the Walser Museum.

In Slovenia, Bovec serves as a base for exploring the Julian Alps, featuring the emerald Soča River and activities such as rafting, kayaking, and hiking. Additionally, Solčava and the Logar Valley provide access to the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, with the Logar Valley being a protected landscape park.
