The Italian Dolomites is a staggering mountain range that changes its hues with the shifting seasons. Weaving through the Fiemme and Fassa Valleys and up to the Pordoi pass, the iconic scenery is a 'must' for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Your adventure begins as you travel by coach into the heart of the Dolomites. The exact itinerary varies depending on your point of departure, but all routes include a scenic drive through the Fiemme Valley and Fassa Valley with photo stops, as well as the spectacular 27 hairpin bend road to the Pordoi Pass reaching an altitude of 2240m.

Here, you can indulge in a leisurely lunch break while drinking in the surrounding natural beauty. Then, seize the opportunity to take an optional cable car ride (payable locally) up to a dizzy height of 2950m, offering unparalleled views. The tour also includes a stop in one of the charming South Tirolean Villages, where you can find out more about the traditions and language of the Ladino people.

  • Great sights but a long day

    The Dolomites were an amazing sight, especially the cable car to the top to have a walk around. This is an extra charge of €25.50 each which you need to take in cash but we had no warning about. I had seen this in reviews so we did have the cash on us. The team were Fredrick and Paulo, both were fantastic, it was an informative and interesting day. It’s a very long day, almost 13 hours from pick up to drop off. There are three stops, but the one with the cable car is the one that the trip is about, seeing the actual Dolomites. There is 2 hours for this and you’re told to have lunch at the restaurant there too but then you will have very little time to have a walk around at the top of the cable cars. Thankfully I had read previous reviews so had made a packed lunch for the four of us, and taken lots of snacks for the long day. Also take extra layers for the top, it was a very hot day in lake Garda (34C) but we needed jumpers and gloves at the top. You definitely need good gripping shoes too. Please also check about the pick up point well in advance after booking. The pick up point I picked on the viator options when booking was different to the one on the receipt. And then completely different to the one I was told after contacting the local tour operator. After a very expensive call to Viator in USA along with calls to the local tour operator, it finally got resolved. However waking my kids up at 5.30am to be at a pick up point for 6.50am was an extra nerve wracking thing when I still wasn’t sure if we’d be picked up. We were picked up at 7.10am in the end, and in total there were 13 people at peschiera train station, so I am very confused why there wasn’t clearer information about this. I would recommend this trip but it would really help to have been given a bit more information about it without reading through reviews, and to have clear pick up information.

  • Views are so worth it!

    Great scenery, interesting stories told by tour guide, super professional and safe driver. One gains the most amazing impressions of the views, beautiful nature and the little towns are very cute. Most time is spent on bus, but I didn’t mind, it was hot outside and it was fully air conditioned, I could relax and enjoy everything. Cable car ride and walk up there was stunning experience! Now I know which places I want to revisit! Both valleys were incredibly beautiful, I loved St. Ulrich too. I definitely had a good time.
