Unforgettable!!

Jamie S., 12 July 2025

This tour was spectacular. Easy transport to and from Venice, and the scenery is crazy. You stop for photos along the way, and you have one hour in Cortina and 3 hours in another mountain town. This was enough time for me to take the chairlift halfway up one of the mountains, climb the rest of the way up and enjoy the view, eat lunch at the rifugio, chairlift down and walk around the lake. Just truly unforgettable!

Perfectly planned

The Dolomites are even more stunning in person, and having a knowledgeable guide made all the difference. We had plenty of time to take in the views at Lake Misurina and explore charming Cortina. The Three Peaks of Lavaredo were simply breathtaking---photos don’t do them justice!
