From Venice The Best of the Dolomites Mountains Day Trip
Begin in Cortina d'Ampezzo, often called the “Queen of the Dolomites.” This elegant alpine resort blends Ladin heritage with refined mountain culture and is set to host events for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Surrounded by dramatic peaks, its historic streets and sweeping views embody classic alpine style. Continue to Lake Misurina, the largest natural lake in the Cadore area. Known for its mirror like waters, it reflects the surrounding mountains, including the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo, making it one of the most photographed landscapes in the region. The journey then reaches Lago di Auronzo, a striking alpine reservoir near Auronzo di Cadore. Its turquoise waters and forested slopes create a powerful contrast with the rugged Dolomite peaks, capturing the wild beauty of this UNESCO listed mountain landscape.

Where this sits in Venice
Venice is about 11 min by road from Venice Marco Polo Airport. Extraordinary and genuinely crowded, and the two are easy to reconcile: stay the night. The day trippers leave around six, and the city that is left — quiet canals, lit windows, footsteps — is the one worth coming for.
