Sappada's Dolomites

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out these magnificent drone views of a mountain getaway spot in northeastern Italy, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Dream to Fly. The video was filmed over and around the commune of Sappada in the historical province of Udine, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region. Located in the Southern Limestone Alps close to the Austrian border and about 80 mi. (around 130 km) north of Venice, Sappada is largely German-speaking, as this area was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire prior to World War I.

Surrounded by the Dolomites, Sappada (Plodn in the local dialect) is a famous destination for winter and summer tourism. Its origin is early medieval and is attributed to the Patriarch of Aquileia who would have called a group of families from Bavaria to this uninhabited area. In fact, an ancient German dialect is still spoken in Sappada today.
