Imposing rock faces, bathed briefly in warm light at dawn and dusk. A spectacle of orange, pink and red, eyes riveted on one of the world’s most beautiful mountain landscapes. The phenomenon of Enrosadira - the “alpine glow” - has fascinated people for centuries. It is caused by the pale Dolomite rock, which also gave them the name “Pale Mountains.” But there is much more to it. Do you know the ancient legend of the “pale mountains”?
