Description
Dolomites Full-Day Escape: Ascend into the Majesty of the Italian Alps
Your adventure begins at Piazzale Roma, where you will be met by your private English-speaking driver. Leaving the bustle of Venice behind, you’ll head north into the soaring limestone peaks of the Dolomites. The first stop of our Dolomites Full-Day Escape is Pieve di Cadore, a town steeped in history and the ancestral home of the great painter Titian. As you explore, look up at the rugged horizons—you will instantly recognize the jagged silhouettes that the artist immortalized in his Renaissance masterpieces.
After a relaxing coffee break, we continue our ascent to Misurina Lake. Situated at 1,754 meters above sea level, this pristine natural lake is legendary not only for its beauty but for its microclimate, long believed to hold curative properties for the soul and body. Breathe in the purest mountain air as you take in the panoramic views of the surrounding “Tre Cime di Lavaredo.”
For lunch, your local driver will be happy to recommend authentic mountain taverns where you can savor hearty Alpine cuisine. The afternoon is dedicated to the glamour of Cortina d’Ampezzo. Nestled in a sun-drenched valley, this Olympic host city offers a perfect blend of high-end Italian fashion and rustic Alpine charm. Stroll the elegant pedestrian Corso Italia, browse luxury boutiques, or simply enjoy a gelato against a backdrop of towering peaks before your private transfer returns you to the heart of Venice.
