Verona to Val Gardena

The Italian Dolomites is a staggering mountain range that changes its hues with the shifting seasons. Weaving through the Fiemme and Fassa Valleys and up to the Pordoi pass, the iconic scenery is a 'must' for nature lovers and photographers alike. Your adventure begins as you travel by coach into the heart of the Dolomites. The exact itinerary varies depending on your point of departure, but all routes include a scenic drive through the Fiemme Valley and Fassa Valley with photo stops, as well as the spectacular 27 hairpin bend road to the Pordoi Pass reaching an altitude of 2240m. Here, you can indulge in a leisurely lunch break while drinking in the surrounding natural beauty. Then, seize the opportunity to take an optional cable car ride (payable locally) up to a dizzy height of 2950m, offering unparalleled views. The tour also includes a stop in one of the charming South Tirolean Villages, where you can find out more about the traditions and language of the Ladino people.

Getting out into the Dolomites can feel daunting if you’re unfamiliar with winding mountain roads. Leave the driving to a professional—and relax as you take in sweeping views—on this full-day tour from Verona. Stop at Sass Pordoi for photos and a cable car ride to the summit (at your own expense), then visit the picturesque market town of Ortisei and enjoy free time to explore independently.
