When I zoom into the area I see a lot of red lines. Are those hiking trails or something else?

Total guess, but the dotted ones (the straight ones) could be chairlifts or gondolas.

I have since learned from my Silicon Valley son , that those red lines equate to tram and ski lifts. Mystery solved.

Best guide book for hikes in the Dolomites:
Short Walks in the Dolomites by Gillian Price
http://www.amazon.com/Shorter-Walks-Dolomites-selected-Cicerone/dp/1852846585/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1440366120&sr=1-1&keywords=short+hikes+in+the+dolomites
Best maps, at least Val Gardena, our preferred area, are #05 Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi 1:25,000 map from Tabacco

Ski lifts. Some are operational in the off season for hikers and to service mountain top rifugios.
