    It was a perfect day in the mountains. Our group of seven people had Diego as our guide in his Mercedes van. It was a two hour drive to the iconic mountain town of Cortina. The drive featured some wonderful views of the Dolomites which got even better as we approached. We enjoyed walking through the town for close to one hour which will co-host the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in February. We then drove to our next stop which was the beautiful Lake Misurina. We spent about 2 1/2 hours there. All seven guests chose to take the ski lift up to the mountain restaurant house to enjoy lunch and the spectacular views from the elevated viewpoint! I chose to take the ski lift back down although most guests chose to hike the path down (50 minutes hike vs 15 minutes via the lift. I the enjoyed the two mile hike around Lake Misurina which provides great views of the lake and surrounding mountains from all angles. I completed the stay with a coffee and purchase of souvenirs at one of the shops. Dress for potentially colder weather especially if you take the ski lift up the mountain. It’s noticeably cooler than Venice! We then made a fairly brief stop at Auronzo, to check out its beautiful lake and mountain views. We concluded with the return drive of under two hours back to Venice. Diego was a great guide and expert driver!
