Winter Olympics will increase overcrowding pressure in the Dolomites

The Winter Olympics will increase pressure on the over-touristed Dolomites, locals warn.

As Italy prepares to host the Winter Olympics next month, residents in Alpine communities are warning that a surge in visitors will burden an area already struggling with overtourism.

Events will take place in Milan and in Cortina d'Ampezzo, a UNESCO-designated town known as the 'Queen of the Dolomites', as well as in the nearby localities of Predazzo, Tesero and Anterselva.

Local authorities and environmental organizations say the Games will exacerbate a worrying tourism trend: the fame of scenic spots on social media.

High in the Italian Dolomites, a hiking trail on Mount Seceda has become a popular spot for taking dramatic photos of the Odle-peaked peaks.

The move highlights the wider and growing issue of overtourism, poor visitor behaviour and environmental damage in Italy's fragile mountain range.
