Your Itinerary

Auronzo di Cadore

The first stage of our day, after having passed through enchanting mountain villages for almost 2 hours, we will make a short stop of about 30 minutes to admire and take a short walk along the coast of the crystal clear waters of Lake Auronzo, which also thanks to the chain Marmarole mountain range, welcome us to the Dolomites. One of the most interesting aspects of Lake Auronzo is its geological history. The lake was formed by a glacier that carved a deep basin in the valley during the last ice age, leaving behind a breathtaking landscape that continues to attract visitors from all over the world. Lake Auronzo is the largest lake in Cadore, with a surface area of about 1.7 sq km.

Lago di Misurina

In the heart of the Dolomites where we will breathe mountain air there will be our second stop after 30 minutes of travel. Lake Misurina is a natural alpine lake, the largest in Cadore. The particular climatic characteristics of the air around the lake make it particularly suitable for those suffering from respiratory diseases. Here you will have time to take a walk around the lake or alternatively, you can enjoy an optional lunch in the various huts and restaurants, tasting typical mountain dishes while admiring the splendid mountain peaks. Lake Misurina is located at an altitude of 1,754 meters above sea level and is surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks, including the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, which are part of the Dolomites. The lake has a maximum depth of 5 meters and covers an area of approximately 0.14 square kilometres. Its crystal clear waters are fed by several mountain streams and the lake is considered one of the cleanest and purest in Italy.

Admission Included

Lago di Dobbiaco

During our 20 min journey, we will take a short break to admire our third stop. Lake Dobbiaco is a small alpine lake surrounded by forests and mountains, with crystal clear waters and a rocky beach. The lake is characterized by its crystalline waters which reflect the extraordinary natural environment. The lake is located in the South Tyrol province of northeastern Italy and is close to the Austrian border. The lake is located exactly on the border between two natural parks: the Tre Cime natural park and the Fanes - Sennes and Braies natural park. The basin has an estimated volume of 286,000 cubic meters and a perimeter of approximately 4.5 kilometres. Lake Dobbiaco is one of the few examples of water meadows (a wetland) existing in the Alps. It is fed by several small streams and is drained by the Rienza River.

Admission Included

Lago di Braies

In the fourth stage of our journey, after traveling another 20 minutes, we reach the extreme north-east of Italy a few kilometers from the border with Austria for a visit to the famous lake of Braies. It is considered one of the most famous and photographed lakes of the Italian peninsula. It is an emerald-coloured basin of water, surrounded by the peaks of the Dolomites. Lake Braies is known for its clear blue-green waters, surrounded by a spectacular landscape of towering peaks, dense forests and flowery meadows. The lake has a depth of 36 meters and is fed by numerous small streams that descend from the surrounding mountains. All in all, Lake Braies is a must-see destination for anyone traveling to the Dolomites or South Tyrol, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation and cultural heritage.

Admission Included

Cortina d'Ampezzo

We arrive at our last leg of our journey after about 1 hour. Cortina d'Ampezzo is surrounded by the Dolomites at 360°. It is a sports resort of great prestige and a privileged destination for holidays. Famous for the 1956 Winter Olympic Games and for the next 2026 Olympics. Here you can enjoy a walk through the streets of the centre, the beating heart of Cortina shopping among artisan shops and unique boutiques. At the end of our last stage, another 2 hours of travel awaits us to return to the starting point. Cortina d'Ampezzo is one of the most famous ski destinations in the world. The city hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956 and has been a favorite destination for skiers and snowboarders ever since. The city has a rich history dating back to Roman times, and was an important center of trade and commerce in the Middle Ages. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cortina d'Ampezzo became a popular destination due to its natural beauty.

Incredible Dolomites tour! Breathtaking landscapes make this a must-do experience. The beauty of the Dolomites is beyond words. A journey filled with awe and wonder, discovering the region's most enchanting spots.

This excursion overall was a big disappointment for the amount of money it cost us. First, be aware that even though it says pick up at hotel- it does not! We received a text the day before asking us to meet at 8:45am at the bus terminal. We arrived at 8:35 to be safe. We were told the driver would be there in 10 to 15 minutes. He did not show up until 9am and it was FREEZING. Max as a driver was very nice. The van was extremely clean and it had snacks and water for us. There was also a bottle of prosecco. Max speaks very limited English. For the amount of money we spent we anticipated a guided tour. Someone pointing out highlights along our route, famous churches, landmarks, tell us about villages etc. There is NONE of this. When we got to each stop Max would simply tell us how much time we had. It was basically, get out, look at the lake and mountains and get back in the van. Again- no spots in the town we should walk to or visit. No mention of why people would visit the town- places to have a quick drink. The tour operator only gave us two options of places to stop for lunch; which makes me think they have some sort of agreement with these two places because there were places to eat at almost every lake. I will say that the lunch we did have at Lake Misurina was delicious and the waitress was extremely friendly and informative. There is a brochure in the van written in English, but nothing Wikipedia wouldn't tell you. At the end of the day my husband and I both felt we could have rented a car and done this trip on our own for a fraction of the cost. If you're looking for information, highlights and tips on what to do in each stop this tour is NOT for you.

Don’t know how to describe this trip. We had wonderful scenery and snow to boot. Walked on Frozen Brias Lake. So much for all of us.

We travelled from Venice to Dolomite on a day trip. Even though we travelled in December, we get to experience some lakes (frozen and crystal clear waters) and gorgeous mountains. Driver/Guide agreed for a early start of the trip and provided enough time in each locations visited. Car was clean and journey was smooth. We were welcomed with bottle of wine and plenty of snacks. Overall this trip was a memorable one and my family enjoyed yet.

Paul_M

We were able to see a number of amazing sites, and never felt rushed or anxious about our itinerary. Our driver was excellent. Overall a great day

This autumn I was in Italy to visit Dolomiti. Glad that I found you guys. The places was marvelous. Thank you for such a great experience. I highly recommend your tour to all my friends.

A well planned beautiful drive. Even though our day was cloudy and rainy, it was still stunning as we went in and out of the clouds up these incredible mountains and through these alpine villages. The fall colors were a very special bonus. Our driver spoke very little English so I wouldn’t call this a guided tour, but it was a well planned tour. The tour company provided a good program including interesting facts, history and photos with a timeline for the day. They even made perfect arrangements for our independent lunch. A must do while staying in Venice!

Cathryn08

I would highly recommend this tour company as they are very customer oriented. The driver was an extremely safe driver. The views and everything you see on this 10hr trip is well worth it. Seeing the extra lakes is an absolute must. Having lunch by the lake was a wonderful experience! The van was very comfortable. The snacks and prosecco provided by the company were a very nice touch. The scenery was absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend this company!
