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!

2.00A lot of travelling with not many sights. Coach broke down for 2 hours. One stop was missed. 3 1/2 breaks in car parks with cafe and toilets. Lunch for 1 1/2hr over siesta period so most of the town was closed. Overrun by nearly 2 hours😟
Beautiful Dolomites

5.00This was exceptional! Our guide, Messima Peloso was absolutely fantastic. Honestly he went above and beyond, was so knowledgeable, kind, fun, and he really just loved making sure everyone had a great day. This was one of the best excursions we have taken and the scenery was beyond breathtaking. We all felt the same way about this tour.

5.00It's a lovely ride. The bus leaves Venice early and within an hour is traveling in a pre-mountain landscape. There is a breakfast stop and then you travel to Cortina for a short walk along the main street and views of the Dolomites. The next stop is Lake Misurina after a spectacular bus ride. The lake is very scenic and there is a good selection of restaurants for lunch. We spent two hours here and you can walk around the lake or even climb one of the peaks in a ski chair. There is a last stop in Auronzo to see another lake. The bus ride is long, but worth the scenery. Highly recommended in my opinion.
