About this tour
Break free from Venice's crowds with a private 8–9 hour drive into the Dolomites. You'll visit three alpine lakes and a mountain town, each offering distinct scenery: Cortina d'Ampezzo for its walkable centre and cafés, Lake Misurina for mirrored reflections of the Tre Cime peaks, and Lake Auronzo for turquoise stillness. Your own driver handles the roads while you decide the pace—linger where it suits you, skip what doesn't.
Highlights
- Cortina d'Ampezzo: café culture with peak vistas
- Lake Misurina's mirror-still waters and Tre Cime backdrop
- Lake Auronzo's turquoise alpine basin
- Private vehicle with English-speaking driver
- Full flexibility to walk, shop, or rest as you wish
- Air-conditioned comfort between stops
What to expect
You'll spend roughly 90 minutes each at the two lakes and Cortina, with travel time between them. The drive winds through valleys and climbs into meadows; stops are short walks rather than hikes—10–15 minutes at each lake if you want photos and a breath of mountain air. Cortina's main street is compact and pedestrian-friendly. Bring a camera for the lake reflections, which are sharpest mid-morning. You can eat where you like (cafés in Cortina, picnic supplies from your driver's suggestions), or skip meals altogether.
Good to know
Dress in layers—mountain weather shifts fast. Bring sunscreen and a hat. The vehicle seats all ages and can accommodate prams or infant seats. Pace is entirely yours; tell your driver if you want longer at any spot or to skip the next one.
