groups on the web. It's tough to beat the Dolomites with so many hikes and cable cars. And driving the Strada delle Dolomiti is just incredible - especially with a sunroof or convertible.
Here's a post with a couple photos of the Dolomites, and there are tons and tons of views like this.

Also in the Dolomites, I would recommend this zip line in San Vigilio. At one point I was hangind something like 300+ feet above the valley. I went once and then took friends back a couple more times. So cool.
Also, if you are a hiker, you're close to Europe's highest peak in Mont Blanc, which is at the end of Valle d'Aosta and straddles the French border, which is beautiful - lots of castles. Lots of hikes around Mont Blanc, Courmayeur on the Italian side and Chamonix on the French side.
