Enjoy a full day tour from Venice to the Dolomites Mountains, a Unesco World Heritage. 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!

4.00I loved the taking the day to travel to the mountains, walk around and enjoy several different spots. My favorite was the last town Cortina.

4.00Was amazing visiting the Dolomites. It was a very popular tour with a good guide, who has lived between Venice and the mountains for her entire life. But, it’s a long day, so factor that in your decision on taking a day out of your trip to Venice to make the journey. We gathered at 8:00 and left soon after and arrived back in Venice at 19:00. Also of note, Eddy Fast Food has an old location and a new one. If you are following the instructions for the meeting point go to the Eddy near the ACTV stop at Tronchetto Mercato, NOT the Tronchetto stop.
Don’t miss the Dolomites! Winter Olympics

5.00This is an all day experience that should not be missed! If you are near Venice and you can take an extra day to visit the Dolomites then we highly recommend this tour. The Mountain View’s are majestic and indescribable. You just have to see them for yourself. This tour is well planned out with perfectly timed stops for refreshment. The tour guide has interesting stories about the various mountain peaks. Highly recommend taking the chair lift above Misurina lake! The view is breathtaking ! Buy souvenirs at tha Cooperative in cortina. We know you will not regret going o this adventure !

5.00I decided on a day trip to the Dolomites because several friends had recommended it. My guide Matteo was so incredibly funny and knowledgeable about this region and his experience as a mountain guide really adds intensive knowledge about the do’s and fonts of navigating this breathtaking area of northern Italy! I would highly recommend getting out of the bustle of Venice to experience this unique culture of Italy!
