Would appreciate any info regarding best places and times to visit the Dolomites in the fall. Many non-photographers will also be on the trip so workshops are not an option. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I will look up the sites and come up with a program.

Hi,
Here are some sets of pictures:

Many of the above images may contain GPS info.
I agree with the Drei-Zinnen recommendation, but there are many other great places easily approachable by car. Mountain passes offer great views.
My favourites are Giau, Sella and Fedeia. In the western part there is Karersee/Carezza:

In the easter part there are also a few mountain lakes. Like Pragser See, below.

Erik..... very considerate of you to post images that have coordinates. I would have killed for these a couple of years ago. It took me a lot of research and time to find the locations I wanted. A very beautiful part of the world which I intend to visit often.

Hi Victor,
Used to be my ambition to share coordinates. The cameras I used to have were GPS-enabled. My recent stuff doesn't have GPS, unfortunately. I try to carry a GPS-logger but often forget…
Best regards
Erik

Hi,
This is Sella Pass, early morning on Hans Kruse's Dolomites West workshop.

Thanks Erik for the info. Victor ... can you share some locations of the hikes you took?
I didn't really do a lot of hiking other than to get to a location for photo shooting. These were relatively short compared to what would be considered a real hike. There are many internet sites that will have hiking recommendations - and believe me you can hike till you drop! Try to see both sides of the Dolomites as there are things to see on both and the distance isn't that far from one side to the other. I did get a lot of photo locations from 500px.com. A lot of the posters also provide gps locations. Its a little cumbersom to get around in the beginning but well worth the effort.
