Alpe di Siusi is one of those landscapes that is difficult to appreciate fully until you see it in person. The plateau stretches across the valley with huge open meadows, scattered mountain cabins and the dramatic Dolomite peaks rising behind them. It was one of the places I was most looking forward to seeing during my time in the Dolomites, and the scale of the landscape did not disappoint.

From this viewpoint, the scale of the landscape becomes the main feature. The rolling meadows lead naturally towards the mountains, with the peaks rising sharply from the landscape and creating a striking contrast to the softer shapes of the valley below. The scattered cabins also help put the scale into perspective, showing just how expansive the landscape really is.

What stood out to me most was the balance between the open foreground and the mountains beyond. There’s plenty happening across the landscape, but nothing feels crowded, giving the photograph a real sense of space. It’s the kind of view that captures exactly why Alpe di Siusi has become one of the most recognisable landscapes in the Dolomites.
