Tour Cortina Dolomites

Passing through tunnels with astounding views of canyons and valleys that suddenly appear, the scenery is absolutely breath-taking. The Dolomites are this and much more. Passing through small mountain villages up to Dolomiti Ampezzane we arrive at Cortina, ‘the pearl of the Dolomites’ & one of Italy’s top ski and alpine resorts, favoured by celebrities and scenario for films such as ‘Cliff Hanger’. We take time to enjoy a stroll and take in the views of the mountains, then continue towards the Falzarego Pass (2752 metres high), with the famous Five Towers peaks and other majestic views to photograph.

Up over the pass and then down towards the Fiorentina valley, passing Andrez castle (11th c), with another stop-off to enjoy the panoramic view of Lake Alleghe and Monte Civetta, we arrive at Selva di Cadora and time to enjoy a typical rustic lunch. Making our leisurely way back to Venice, & time permitting, we can stop to try the tasty handmade ice-cream at Longarone and see the view of the Vajont valley. Lunch not included
