I will fourth that! Haven't been there, but the images are incredible! The other comment worth making, from a traveller's perspective, is the difference between some of these European ranges and parts of the Rockies (such as the mountains west of me): there seem to be groomed trails in places at high alpine levels in many places in Europe, acessible by lifts and roads etc and villages and towns with all sorts of amenities just downslope! This is very different from the Rockies west of me--I'd have to go a couple hundred kilometres to Lake Louise, Banff or Jasper to find more than an isolated 'resort' ---in several hours driving, just a couple of gas station, diner/cafeteria, motel combos, mostly overpriced (expensive bad cafeteria food at one we have stopped at), and only one of these-which may be higher quality,never checked, its too busy, at all close to actual alpine areas..
The plus here is wilderness access, not to be scoffed at, but a very different travel experience from those cushy looking Dolomites amenities!
