From Venice: Dolomites, Lake Misurina, and Cortina Day Trip
About This Experience
Avventure Bellissime keeps this one small — never more than eight in a black Mercedes V-Class — and gives the day's time to the lakes rather than to the road. 616 guests have rated it 4.7 out of 5.
The van leaves Tronchetto strictly at 8am. You get an hour in Cortina d'Ampezzo first, then three hours around Lake Misurina and nearby Lake Antorno, with the driver-guide picking viewpoints for the Tre Cime di Lavaredo along the way, and an hour at the Auronzo lake before the drive back.
What makes it useful late in the year is written into the listing: from 15 November, when the Tre Cime area winds down, the route adds San Candido and Lago di Braies, and from 23 November to 6 January it includes the San Candido Christmas market.
Hotel pickup is not included, gratuities are not included, and the tour needs at least five paying guests — if it does not fill, you are offered an alternative or a full refund.

We had a great day yesterday in the Dolomites! The weather was incredible and our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We loved Cortina and probably would’ve liked more time there, but we had plenty to do a little shopping and exploring! The ride was very spacious even though it was full! Usually we are prone to getting car sick.. didn’t feel that at all because we have enough stops throughout the trip to get some fresh air! We took the tram to the top and had lunch at the restaurant up there… so much fun!! We had the best day!
