    Overview

    Val di Funes is structured as a narrow alpine valley running east–west beneath the Odle / Geisler massif. The landscape alternates between forested slopes, open alpine meadows, and small villages positioned along the valley floor. Photographically the valley is defined by the contrast between open pastoral foregrounds and the vertical limestone walls of the Dolomites. Churches, farmhouses, and meadow systems create layered compositions with the Odle peaks forming a dominant mountain backdrop.
