We will take you through scenic roads to the famous Cortina d'Ampezzo, a true paradise for sports and nature lovers that welcome guests with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, all against the backdrop of breathtaking views. The resort will host the next Olympic Winter Games in 2026. After the visit of the wonderful town we will drive through the panoramic road of Passo Tre Croci to Lake Misurina where you will have enough time to walk around the gorgeous lake and have lunch at one of the restaurants serving local food. In the summer you can also rent a small boat to get around the lake or ride the panoramic chairlift to the Col de Varda Viewpoint. Then, on the way back we will make a photo stop at Lake Auronzo where you can walk on the dam and sometimes see the water rushing through gates. This tour will end at the meeting point in Venice in the evening but the memories will last a lifetime!

5.00🌄 A Perfect Day in the Dolomites! 🇮🇹✨ Today we explored the breathtaking Misurina Lake, often called the “Pearl of the Dolomites.” Surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks and reflected perfectly in its crystal-clear waters, it’s a scene straight out of a postcard! 💙 After soaking in the alpine beauty, we continued on to Cortina d’Ampezzo — a charming, picture-perfect village filled with cozy cafés, boutique shops, and stunning views in every direction. 🏔️☕🛍️ This region will be in the world’s spotlight soon as host of the 2026 Winter Olympics, but right now it’s a peaceful mountain escape full of Italian charm.
Foggy but still Great

5.00Take water with you. The pace was perfect. Beautiful area, unfortunately lots of fog, but enjoyed it anyway. Loved shopping in Cortina, could have spent another 20 minutes there. Everyone was so nice. I would take this again when the weather is better! Lunch was at the recommended restaurant and was delicious, I had the spinach gnocchi! Yum

3.00The trip was good. The location is fantastic. Problems It was a very large group in one bus. The members of the staff of Hausbrandt Hotel Valli are rude and unfit to deal with customers that stop for a coffee and snacks. I would have given a 5 star review it was not for the nasty servers at this place.
Beautiful Dolomites with Excellent Guide
