You will depart from the city center of Venice and head into the fresh air and beautiful countryside! On the way, you will drive through Conegliano, the home of Prosecco. Your driver will be happy to make photo stops along the way, where you can enjoy the lush scenery. You will arrive at Lake Santa Croce, where the calm waters mirror the pine forests and mountain peaks which surround it. After taking plenty of photos, you will head to Pieve di Cadore, where the artist, Titian, spent his childhood years in the late 15th century. Enjoy a short walk and try some of the delectable local produce!
After a pleasant break, you head onwards and upwards… very much upwards, right up to Tre Cime di Lavaredo at 2,360 metres above sea level! Tre Cime itself offers breathtaking panoramas over the local area. Enjoy the breeze on your skin as you admire the most enchanting views you can imagine!
Then it’s on to Cortina d’Ampezzo, which hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956 and is known as a world-class destination for winter sports, enjoyed by both experts and beginners. There’s plenty to do at other times of the year too! Along with enjoying the scenery, visitors can visit the Miramonti Majestic Grand Hotel, which was featured in the James Bond film “For Your Eyes Only.” On a clear day, take the cable car to Faloria for a delightful view over the town or do some shopping at the famous Cooperativa di Cortina.
Our last stop is Lake Misurina, an idyllic place to enjoy lunch. There is no better place for a picnic, as you take in the spellbinding views of Mount Sorapiss and the Marmarole mountains. Our journey back to Venice is at a leisurely pace and there are plenty of stops for photographs as we pass by traditional villages and the spectacular Lake Auronzo.
