Just an hour outside Venice you will discover a land of towering peaks and peaceful valleys dotted with ancient villages. This intimate tour takes you to the best of the Sesto region, including the cosmopolitan ski resort of Cortina, Lake Misurina, Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the birthplace of Renaissance painter Titian and a multitude of spectacular vistas.

After a scenic drive from Venice, stop to admire Lake Santa Caterina, before heading to Lake Misurina, 'the pearl of the Dolomites'. The lake is famous for its breathtaking views of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the most celebrated peaks of the Sesto region. Afterwards, drive up to the base of the Tre Cime for arguably the best view of the Dolomite Mountains, which stretch as far as the eye can see. Here you can enjoy an optional short walk along an easy trail beneath the towering peaks to admire neighbouring peaks of the Sesto region and the deep verdant valleys several thousand feet below.

In the afternoon, drive into the Cortina region to visit the cosmopolitan ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo, pausing at a panoramic viewpoint to admire the town circled by soft green meadows and towering mountains. Enjoy free time to wander around the town of Cortina, with its streets lined with elegant boutiques, or relax at one of the street-side cafes. In the late afternoon, you'll travel back to Venice, passing several major peaks. Relax on the drive and savor the different colors of the Dolomites in the late-afternoon sun.
