This trip was an absolute highlight of our visit to Italy. The Dolomites are breathtaking and offered so many amazing photo opportunities. It felt like a completely different side of Italy with more of an Austrian vibe. Our driver Christifano was very nice and made the journey smooth and enjoyable.
We took the lift up to the top for lunch which was unforgettable with incredible views all around. Lago di Misurina was stunning, where we had about an hour and 45 minutes to enjoy the lift and lunch. Along the way we stopped at several small towns and lakes which gave us even more chances to take beautiful photos. We also had about an hour in Cortina, a lovely town that will host the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Overall this was a hidden gem experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something beyond Venice.
