This small-group minivan tour departs from Piazzale Roma in Venice and takes you to three Dolomite lakes and Cortina d'Ampezzo in one day. At Lake Braies, famous for its turquoise water, you'll have about 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to walk along the shore. You'll also stop at Lake Auronzo and Lake Misurina to admire iconic Dolomite peaks such as the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, and stroll the streets of Cortina d'Ampezzo, host of the Winter Olympics. Groups are limited to 8 people, and a local driver-guide leads the tour in English.

Meet your guide at Piazzale Roma in central Venice and drive about 2 hours by minivan to the Dolomites. Your first stop is Lake Auronzo, where you'll spend about 20 minutes taking photos at the lake dam. Sometimes you can even see water rushing through the dam gates.

Spend about 70 minutes at Lake Misurina, also known as the "Pearl of the Dolomites." Iconic Dolomite peaks such as the Sorapiss group, the Cadini and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are reflected in the lake like a mirror. Take a walk along the shore and enjoy the views while taking photos.

Lake Braies, the best-known lake in the Dolomites, is an emerald lake surrounded by huge rock walls and famous for its wooden pier and vintage rowing boats. You'll have about 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to walk around the lake. The lakeside trail is known as one of the most accessible yet scenic short walks in the Dolomites.

Finally, visit Cortina d'Ampezzo, host of the 1956 and 2026 Winter Olympics, for about 45 minutes of free time. Walk along the Corso Italia pedestrian zone, the most famous street in the Dolomites, and enjoy sightseeing and shopping. The tour ends in the evening back at the meeting point in Venice.
