Dolomites - home base or move around?
I'm just starting the planning for a trip to the Dolomites next September (2019) and would appreciate some advice - Is it better to have one home base hotel and drive to different areas to hike, or move around, such as 2-3 nights in or near Bolzano or Alta Badia, and then 2-3 nights in or near Cortina d'Ampezzo? We will rent a car, but am unsure of the distances involved in order to get to the hiking trails. We are big hikers and more interested in that than simply driving around to see the scenery, so we're planning a longer number of days in the area. Thanks for any input!
