We Visited the Most Beautiful Italian Spot (You NEED to visit the DOLOMITES)

[@flyingthenest]

Welcome to a brand new series right here in ITALY - one of our favourite countries in the world as we head to a brand new spot - the Dolomites :)

[@C.Sagittarius]

I think yall should write a travel guide book for families based on all the countries yall have been to

[@flyingthenest]

@@C.Sagittarius aww would love to one day :)

[@B.R.13]

Yay! I love your videos 🎉 and Italy is the best! So excited to see your Italy adventure :)

[@DianoraL]

Guys can you share the location from minute 27-28? I looked in the description, but could not find it. And would love to save that place for my trip. Greatly appreciated!

[@francescom1514]

@@DianoraL It's Val di Funes. I don't know if the village is Saint Peter or Santa Maddalena. They are quite close by the way. The mountains wich close the valley are the Odle group

[@manushajayalath547]

Grazie mille ITALIA for gifting adorable sceneries like this...

[@mauriziolored6123]

Italy...beautiful everywhere, seas, mountains, hills, countryside, historic medieval towns throughout the territory and last but not least, the best food in the world!

[@desibartolocci]

👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍🤗 hai perfettamente ragione

[@islandbleu.blackley]

My friends just went to the Dolomites and they said it was the most incredible place they have ever been to in the world. Much love from Queensland. 💙💙

[@flyingthenest]

Oh so glad to hear!! What spots did they visit?

[@islandbleu.blackley]

@@flyingthenest So they actually own a house in Italy (jealous 😂) but decided to take a trip to the Dolomites as a family since all their family members were coincidently in Italy. They went to Lago di Braies, Lago di Sorapis and Val di Funes. By the way can you pleaseeeee do more trips around Australia because it's such a beautiful country and the world needs to see that. Especially more trips to QLD. I am from the Gold Coast and there are so many hidden gems here, like stunning rock pools, secret beaches and reefs, and the most incredible rainforests. Hope you're enjoying your travels. Stay safe. I would love for you to let Hunter and Koa know that I said hi from Australia!!!! My name is Island. ❤

[@flyingthenest]

whaaat (SO JEALOUS) haha at least our friends the travel beans have a house in Sicily now so we can go visit them ;-)! Niiice we go to Lagos di Braies too :)

[@flyingthenest]

aww not 100% sure when we will do another trip around Australia - we were super satisifed from our Van life trip for the whole year - but never say never ;-)

[@islandbleu.blackley]

@@flyingthenest yeah that's so awesome!!!! it helps very much when you have friends all over the world.

[@debbieplueger6199]

We spent 2 weeks in July in the Dolomites, and it was indescribable. We stayed in Ortisei and Cortina and did 4 amazing hikes where we were able to really experience the majestic beauty of the Dolomites!

[@Dovid2000]

The Dolomites = Heaven on Earth!

[@MondoRockGP]

I am very happy that other people from all over the world can enjoy the immense beauty that can be seen in Italy, my country.💚🤍❤

[@aris1956]

28:54 It looks like a painting by a great Italian painter! Simply stunning! 🥰

[@bristolwilson5910]

Italy is by far my favorite country I've been several times along with Switzerland and Austria it's just a very beautiful part of Europe the people are nice the food is wonderful there's so many things I could say I really hope if you guys go to Austria you go to the salt mines I know there's one in Berchtesgaden and one in Salzburg as well they are so much fun cuz there's slides and a little train also there's these underground Lakes also if you make it to Bavaria in Germany they have the coolest Spas there like indoor water park Vibes for the kids or they also have adult ones which I know would be difficult with just you guys there but anyways I'm so excited to see this series I cannot wait!!❤

[@flyingthenest]

us too!! Italy...Switzerland it's all up there as top 10 countries! The food, the location the people so nice! What's some of your favourite spots?

[@bristolwilson5910]

@@flyingthenest oh my goodness well I do love the countryside of Italy we stayed in a villa in Tuscany for a week also Zermatt I believe in Switzerland it's kind of hard because the countries are so close together they kind of all run together at some point I know we stayed in a small town only accessible by a gondola in Switzerland I cannot remember the name of it I have to ask my sister.... my sister and her husband lived in Germany for 3 years because he was a doctor in the Air Force so I lived with them for an entire summer and got to travel all around and then when I was a freshman in college I went to Italy for a month and we went to all of the popular places Rome Venice Pompeii Florence the list goes on and on but honestly just the atmosphere of all of it is amazing Germany I love all of the castles especially the castle that Disney based theirs off of I cannot spell it to save my life but I would give anything to be able to go back I miss Europe so much and now I have a 15 year old son and I'm dying to take him but until then I will live vicariously through your beautiful family I look forward to your videos every week thank you for you're amazing videos and you're beautiful family you guys are just wonderful parents there's so many things I could say but the list would go on and on just keep up the great work love you guys maybe one day I'll get to do one of your expeditions!

One of my favorite places in Italy.. DOLOMITES!🥰

[@renee2712]

I’m planning on going to Italy next spring or fall- definitely want to hit up the Dolomites!!!❤❤

[@emmaipsaro4711]

Koa is becoming a little chatter box! I can't wait to really hear him talk, Hunter's little accent is my favorite thing ever!!

[@Jordyn64]

I was in the Dolomites last month and I swear I had the thought “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video from Jess and Stephen in the Dolomites, they should come here”. Little did I know 😂 I’m back in aus now so loving the recent memories this video brings back for me!

[@flyingthenest]

Ahhh thank you for putting out into the universe because it worked ♥️

[@yeats1210]

La nostra splendida Italia, Bellissimo video, grazie!

[@xaivlys]

I literally feel like an aunt watching Hunter and Koa grow up 🥺 I'm so proud of seeing them be so adventurous!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Fun vlog. Kids were so sweet. Can't wait for the next videos. That pancake dessert was "Kaiserschmarrn" from an Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph the first.. it is eatten all over the Alpine region in Austria, Germany, Italy etc. Ie. It is not specific to the Dolomites and comes from Austria. A great way to get to the top of mountains for the views fast. Chair lifts are used all year, as are Gondeln, all over the Alps, not just in the Dolomites. The towns and buildings look the same as in Germany and Austria to. Interesting how the Alps looks the same everywhere, no matter what country.

[@khushalidesai8753]

What is the name of the restaurant ?

[@BigSmallTravel]

The Romans founded all those towns from Southern Germany to Austria to Italy. It is the thread from the Latin Roman Empire.

[@corradobin4239]

Ciao fino al 1918 quei territori erano parte dell impero austroungarico , in quelle zone la lingua principale è il tedesco , poi come lingua cè anche il ladino e italiano la lingua cimbra, fino al 1797 quelle zone non era Italia ma era La Repubblica Serenissima di Venezia... Ciao ciao

[@firstreflex8525]

You can ask for a bambini ( kids ) size menu for the kids. It's common in Italy. And yes in Italy you can eat it with your knife and vork😊. Warm regards from the Netherlands

[@JamesDimarco]

Been watching you guys for years and have been waiting for you to discover the Dolomites! It's the kind of place you have to see in every season. So glad you enjoyed it

[@flyingthenest]

thanks for sticking around for so long mate really appreciate it!! we would love ot head back in Winter but would be terrified of driving on those rides!

[@FireCracker3240]

What an amazing video you guys! I've seen hundreds if not thousands of Italy vlogs, but not one of them has ever been in the Dolomites. It's absolutely breathtaking. It's so crazy because you feel like your in the Swiss Alps instead of Italy! I have come to really love cities and towns that border other countries (like Strasbourg, France) because it's such a culture blend. The architecture of one country, the cuisine of both, unmatched scenery. Thank you for taking us along, as always! ❤

[@CucinaVerde]

before the 1st ww it was austria. switzerland is also nice ;)

[@alec-s]

I feel blessed for all that beauty my country has i can enjoy It...

Wooooowwww that's amazing!!!

[@vidaholistichealing6764]

Absolutely stunning views .Thank you for creating such an interesting family travel videos

[@James-pi5ub]

The intro from Hunter at breakfast was absolutely amazing and awesome my smile would of lit up the darkest room ❤🎉

[@Cristianbabakush]

I am Italian and I saw this beautiful video. Unfortunately in recent years mass tourism is ruining these beautiful mountains. Endless queues along the single-lane roads at any time, too many people along the paths, the noise of cars and motorbikes coming from the streets during our excursions. Unfortunately we are forced to take our holidays in autumn where the tourists leave but the colours are much more beautiful. I wanted to tell you these things to raise awareness among you but also among all the people who would like to come to the Italian Alps. Please respect them, thank you.

[@Giovis968]

Babakush ? Italian?

[@Speightsworld]

This makes me so sad. I backpacked the dolomites summer of 2013 and it was the most breathtaking place, so quiet and not a soul on the trail except my group. I love that people are exploring the world more, but the effect is saddening too..

[@Chihiro65]

The fact that you uploaded this vlog is the best thing that happened to me today.❤

[@flyingthenest]

[@MAXPAUERv]

This videos makes me feel lucky being born and living in the womb of these mountains😊

[@jackienaiditch7965]

Wow! The Dolomites are absolutely beautiful. I have to admit, when you were riding the "coffin" gondola, I could barely look at my screen. That gondola is not for someone with a fear of heights. Kudos to Hunter for being so brave.

[@rumik-stahnke6512]

Thank you guys for showing us that beautiful area with the mountains 🚠love the video 👍😁

[@Saravon]

Beautiful video, I had no idea that Italy could be so gorgeous. I love that Koa is talking now! He and Hunter are going to make great travelers.

[@flyingthenest]

Seriously the moment you leave the major cities its so naturally beautiful out here!! haha yess! he is quite the chatter box these days

[@vanessavanderkramer6588]

Such a breathtakingly beautiful part of the world. I love the little look backs you add sometimes as I remember them well. Like Hunter’s second birthday. Koa is such a very beautiful baby and so placid. It was also so cute Hunter taking Koa’s menu order. She is certainly an expert on table service! I don’t remember exactly when you started vlogging but I’ve seen every vlog. My mind often goes back to the last one of your one year trip with Jess sitting on the floor in the airport crying because she didn’t want it to be over and just look at your beautiful family now and how much you’ve inspired others to travel. ❤

[@gabrielebergamin4730]

When you go to the mountains remember to dress appropriately because the temperature can change very suddenly. Look at what the mountain people wear and you will understand. Greetings from Italy.

[@aris1956]

Si vede che sono i classici turisti stranieri. Salgono sulle montagne con pantaloncini corti, quasi in tenuta da spiaggia.

[@lordgandalf22]

Chef hunter is adorable and its so fun to see the chocolade kinder egg :D and hunter being like noo that isnt how it works was fun to see.

[@emlizw1]

Chef Hunter taking Koa's order was absolutely darling!!! Wow the DOLOMITES is going on my Italy bucket list. That video was amazing!! I would even go on the coffin gondola knowing that Jess braved it both ways. What a beautiful area!! Koa is growing up so fast!

[@Shazi7083]

What a beautiful family, God bless you guys

I flew over these yesterday on my way back from Bologna to the UK, def need to visit these on the ground as from above they were stunning. Also the start with the kids saying "meeee" was giving Four season baby vibes ha!

[@laundonsloft4629]

As a skier in my younger days (and yes there was a trip to the Dolomites ⛷️) it never once entered my head to go back to “winter” resorts in the summer. You’ve just opened up a whole new world for me 😃 Thank you guys, love your videos and seeing your family times xxx

I have been following you for years now and it is so nice to see a video of the Dolomites, where I live. I would have loved to have been able to meet you. Here you are in Italy, but it is another culture, another history with other traditions and language. A very unique and special place!

I am usually one for crazy adventure and adrenaline hits but something about the coffin gondola just makes my heart clench tight :P Go you guys! Hunter is such a brave girl and Jess, I am proud of you! I know how this must have felt for you. Another great episode guys and it was cool to see some other parts of the Dolomites that we missed out on due to season closures xx

Haha we went to Venice and then to the Dolomites last summer. We also went to the Dolomites to ski last February. I am Italian so I should not brag.. but really both places are amazing (albeit expensive!). They make for a great summer holiday (of course my hometown, Rome, is decent too. Maybe spring or autumn are best for Rome).

​@@namenlos40The best part of the Dolomites its in Veneto-Trentino.

[@andreraphael6727]

@@namenlos40 Just stop it, please! We're so tired of you. South Tyrol is Italy, it's always been of Ladinic (Latin) culture, despite forced germanization imposed by the austrian empire. Plus, our roman ancestors also founded Wien under the name of Vindobona. So stop it for good! We all know our history. Enough is enough! If you feel austrian, just cross the border to your country and be happy.
