About
Dan on the Sellaronda, Italian Dolomites
Who
Dan & Janine Patitucci are full time, professional photographers and athletes. Since 1999, the duo have specialized in commercial and editorial mountain sports, travel and lifestyle photography for clients such as National Geographic Adventure, Patagonia, The North Face, Gore-Tex, The New York Times and many more. For years they traveled to the Dolomites for various assignments and personal fun. Finally, in 2007 they discovered the Sud Tirol’s town of Brunico, the perfect town in which to settle. The couple is literally out each day of the year doing one of the sports they promote in the area. Both are super motivated, dedicating all of their time to managing their businesses, being athletes focusing on bike racing, ultra running, ski randonee racing and even saving a little extra time for gardening and studying Italian.
Dan is originally from California while Janine comes from Luzern, Switzerland. She arrived to California in 1996 in an effort to escape the Swiss rain. They met in 1999 while at Santa Barbara’s Brooks Institute of Photography. A Guru in India felt it best that she move back to Europe, thankfully for Dan she listened.

What
DolomiteSport is a celebration of all things that mountain sport athletes experience. Inspired Mountain Living. The inspiration we provide is through our words, trips, thoughts and especially our photography. Not just of the Dolomites, but of all the mountains and natural environments that we visit and play within.
As we have come to know the Dolomites, we are continually having it confirmed that it is the perfect place for many of our favorite sports; cycling, trail running, hiking, mountain biking and skiing.
The mountain sport culture, as it thrives in Europe, is something that continually impresses us with its vast history and positive energy that continually encourages us to pursue our passions in the mountains.
Why
Motivation for DolomiteSport results from the joy we feel at pursuing our passions. Meeting others along the way with similar energy has made us want to share what we do so others can have the same opportunities and inspiration to experience great things.
