Free your mind from the city frenzy and give yourself an enveloping experience with a private tour to discover the Dolomites, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Together we will explore the most enchanting places that have made the Dolomites famous throughout the world. We will indulge in moments of relaxation on the shores of crystal clear lakes, nestled between the peaks and fir forests. The views, which can be enjoyed simply sitting or walking, offer an extraordinary natural spectacle. Every moment is a good time to visit the Dolomites, especially if you belong to that group of people who embrace the belief that life should be lived with an adventurous spirit. The Dolomites, with their magnetic charm, become irresistible once you cross the threshold: they have too much to offer!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The first stage of our day, after having passed through enchanting mountain villages for almost 2 hours, we will make a short stop of about 30 minutes to admire and take a short walk along the coast of the crystal clear waters of Lake Auronzo, which also thanks to the chain Marmarole mountain range, welcome us to the Dolomites. One of the most interesting aspects of Lake Auronzo is its geological history. The lake was formed by a glacier that carved a deep basin in the valley during the last ice age, leaving behind a breathtaking landscape that continues to attract visitors from all over the world. Lake Auronzo is the largest lake in Cadore, with a surface area of about 1.7 sq km.
2.
In the heart of the Dolomites where we will breathe mountain air there will be our second stop after 30 minutes of travel. Lake Misurina is a natural alpine lake, the largest in Cadore. The particular climatic characteristics of the air around the lake make it particularly suitable for those suffering from respiratory diseases. Here you will have time to take a walk around the lake or alternatively, you can enjoy an optional lunch in the various huts and restaurants, tasting typical mountain dishes while admiring the splendid mountain peaks. Lake Misurina is located at an altitude of 1,754 meters above sea level and is surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks, including the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, which are part of the Dolomites. The lake has a maximum depth of 5 meters and covers an area of approximately 0.14 square kilometres. Its crystal clear waters are fed by several mountain streams and the lake is considered one of the cleanest and purest in Italy.
3.
During our 20 min journey, we will take a short break to admire our third stop. Lake Dobbiaco is a small alpine lake surrounded by forests and mountains, with crystal clear waters and a rocky beach. The lake is characterized by its crystalline waters which reflect the extraordinary natural environment. The lake is located in the South Tyrol province of northeastern Italy and is close to the Austrian border. The lake is located exactly on the border between two natural parks: the Tre Cime natural park and the Fanes - Sennes and Braies natural park. The basin has an estimated volume of 286,000 cubic meters and a perimeter of approximately 4.5 kilometres. Lake Dobbiaco is one of the few examples of water meadows (a wetland) existing in the Alps. It is fed by several small streams and is drained by the Rienza River.
4.
In the fourth stage of our journey, after traveling another 20 minutes, we reach the extreme north-east of Italy a few kilometers from the border with Austria for a visit to the famous lake of Braies. It is considered one of the most famous and photographed lakes of the Italian peninsula. It is an emerald-coloured basin of water, surrounded by the peaks of the Dolomites. Lake Braies is known for its clear blue-green waters, surrounded by a spectacular landscape of towering peaks, dense forests and flowery meadows. The lake has a depth of 36 meters and is fed by numerous small streams that descend from the surrounding mountains. All in all, Lake Braies is a must-see destination for anyone traveling to the Dolomites or South Tyrol, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation and cultural heritage.
5.
We arrive at our last leg of our journey after about 1 hour. Cortina d'Ampezzo is surrounded by the Dolomites at 360°. It is a sports resort of great prestige and a privileged destination for holidays. Famous for the 1956 Winter Olympic Games and for the next 2026 Olympics. Here you can enjoy a walk through the streets of the centre, the beating heart of Cortina shopping among artisan shops and unique boutiques. At the end of our last stage, another 2 hours of travel awaits us to return to the starting point. Cortina d'Ampezzo is one of the most famous ski destinations in the world. The city hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956 and has been a favorite destination for skiers and snowboarders ever since. The city has a rich history dating back to Roman times, and was an important center of trade and commerce in the Middle Ages. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cortina d'Ampezzo became a popular destination due to its natural beauty.

My family of 5 took the day trip to the Dolomites and it was one of my favorite experiences in our tour of Italy. Scenery was beautiful, commentary with the history on our way to each stop as a nice addition. Daniel, our host for the day was simply wonderful. He helped to make sure we enjoyed each spot with many recommendations as to where to walk, gelato to try, as well as pointing out additional sites along the way. He took great care with our kids and we all shared many laughs along the journey. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to take a day to see all that they can of the beautiful Dolomites.

We live half way across the world from the Dolomites and our 6day trip June 13-18 to the Dolomites was perfect. Vera of TravelNow organized everything from a few weeks before. From the expert guides, Mauro and Ivan, to the very good/safe driver, Alice, Rifugio/restaurant reservations and other recommended places to visit done with an hourly itinerary, and the surprise gifts at the end, she did much,much more than what we expected. It made the visit with hikes, rowing, rock climbing, horseback riding, farm visits, to the Tre Cime, Cinque Torri, Seceda, Monte Agudo, the different lakes, more fun and enlightening even if it was tiring. Even our trip to and from the Venice Airport was smooth and efficient.

As for the price of the whole tour, it is very much worth it that we want to do another trip to the Dolomites with Vera to handle it again. She was our guardian angel and we only met her at the end of our trip at Venice Airport. Grazie mille, TravelNow/Vera.

We had a wonderful day in the Dolomites in April 2024. I had worried that we wouldn’t see much because it was raining in Venice. The highest elevations had a lot of clouds but we still got to see the beautiful Alps. The communication from TravelNow was excellent from beginning to end and they gave us very detailed information on the meeting place. The driver was careful and very professional. We never felt rushed. It was a beautiful day.
