- Lago di Auronzo - Following a scenic two-hour journey from Venice, through charming mountain villages, the first destination is the captivating Lake Auronzo. Nestled among the Marmarole, this tranquil lake invites exploration of the Dolomites’ splendor.
Originally created in the 1930s for hydroelectric purposes, Lake Auronzo captivates with its natural allure. Its turquoise waters mirror the towering peaks, offering unforgettable vistas.

- Lago di Misurina - After a brief 30-minute drive, the journey reaches the magnificent Lake Misurina, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites. Known for its pure air and ideal climatic conditions, the lake is celebrated for its benefits to those with respiratory issues, thanks to the altitude and quality of the high mountain air.
This stop offers the perfect chance for a leisurely walk along the lake’s shores, where the crystal-clear waters reflect the majestic surrounding peaks, creating breathtaking scenery. Afterwards, enjoy lunch at one of the typical restaurants overlooking the lake, savoring mountain cuisine flavors while admiring the stunning view. Lake Misurina, with its serene ambiance and unforgettable vistas, will be one of the most memorable highlights of the Dolomites journey.
- Lago di Dobbiaco - Continuing the journey, after just 20 minutes, the shores of Lake Dobbiaco await, one of the most enchanting spots in South Tyrol. Surrounded by dense forests and framed by mountains, this alpine lake resembles a fairy tale setting. Its clear and calm waters reflect the surrounding landscape in a play of colors that captivates and invites tranquility.
Situated near the Austrian border, Lake Dobbiaco is also home to the rare marble trout, thriving in these pure and oxygen-rich waters, where nature has found its perfect balance. Take a moment to breathe deeply, embrace the serenity here, and enjoy the simple and authentic beauty of this special corner of the Dolomites.
- Lago di Braies - After another 20 minutes of travel, the journey arrives at one of the most iconic and captivating places in the Dolomites: Lake Braies. With its emerald waters framed by the majestic Alpine peaks, this lake is known as the “Pearl of the Dolomites” and is one of Italy’s most photographed locations.
However, its natural beauty is not its only significance. In May 1945, on its shores, a significant historical event occurred: through delicate negotiations with the Allies, several high-profile hostages held by the Nazis were freed.
Walking along the lake’s shores, surrounded by dense forests and flowery meadows, one experiences a unique blend of beauty and historical memory, making Lake Braies a must-visit for those exploring South Tyrol.
- Cortina d’Ampezzo - The final stop is Cortina d’Ampezzo, a charming town framed by the spectacular Dolomites. With Roman origins and a history tied to the Austro-Hungarian Empire until World War I, Cortina was annexed to Italy in 1919 with the Treaty of Saint-Germain. Known for hosting the 1956 Winter Olympics and as a future venue for the 2026 Games, it is renowned for its elegance and cosmopolitan spirit.
Strolling through the center, one can feel the Ladin, Italian, and Germanic influences in the traditions and local language. The main streets offer artisan shops and exclusive boutiques, perfect for shopping or immersing oneself in the lively atmosphere of this village.
After Cortina, a two-hour journey back to the starting point awaits, ideal for reflecting on the Dolomites’ beauty and cherishing memories of majestic peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and enchanting villages.
