1. The Dolomites, Italy
With its 18 jagged peaks, the Dolomites mountain range in the northern Italian Alps is a breath-taking sight. World-renowned for their sheer cliffs and narrow, deep valleys, depending on the time of day – and the season – the mountains change colour. A pinkish hue at dawn, the Dolomites can turn a vibrant red at sunset. Then, of course, in winter, the ridges are spectacular covered in snow. Ski the famous Sella Ronda circuit or embark on a Dolomites walking tour – they’re easily accessible and only a two-hour journey from Venice.
2. Norwegian Fjords, Norway
Visitors to Norway can enjoy another of the best natural wonders in Europe. The country’s remarkable fjords – and there are over 1,000 – are thought of as Norway’s main roads, a scenic way to travel from one destination to the next. Cruising through the dramatic sea inlets, surrounded by majestic cliffs, today’s access routes were created some 2.5 million years ago, the result of the submergence of a glaciated valley. June, July and August are popular months for a Norwegian fjord cruise, when travellers will also experience long summer days and short nights.
3. Verdon Gorge, France
Located in central Provence, Verdon Gorge is known as the Grand Canyon of France. This natural wonder is popular with hikers, rock climbers, twitchers, kayakers and visitors who want to admire its beauty. The gorge runs 25 picturesque kilometres between towering limestone walls – some twice the height of Paris’s Eiffel Tower. The water in the ravine is a striking turquoise colour and attracts keen wild swimmers too – it’s a great day trip from the French Riviera. For the best views of Verdon Gorge from the road high above, provided you don’t suffer from vertigo, drive the northern route.
