THE LOCATION
Kronplatz and the Dolomites
The Dolomites are widely regarded as one of the most stunning mountain landscapes in the world, and in 2009, the World Heritage Committee officially designated the Dolomite Mountains as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Comprising over 90,000 acres of mountainous terrain, these mountains are a unique corner of the Alps, featuring distinctive geology and a fascinating blend of cultures.
Plan de Corones (Kronplatz in German), is a popular destination, with its majestic 2,275-meter peak standing out above the surrounding mountains. From the top of the wooded area, along the South side of the Pusteria Valley, it offers a 360-degree panorama on the entire range.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EVENT
What will we capture with our cameras?
With a focus on landscape and sport photography, Master Travel Photography will see our masters busy capturing unique natural landscapes and the most breathtaking scenaries of the Dolomites.
Photographic sessions at dusk and dawn, shooting the most panoramic points of the area along with the typical regional food traditions, will provide our photographers with an interesting and challenging task.
