Throughout the day, you'll make numerous stops at captivating vantage points, take leisurely strolls around pristine lakes, explore the charming city of Cortina, and traverse level terrain in the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, where a magnificent panoramic view of this majestic mountain range awaits. The allure of the Dolomites lies in their remarkable diversity, where the landscape shifts dramatically, making it seem as if you've journeyed from one mountain range to another.
During your excursion in the Dolomites, you'll witness distant glaciers, towering peaks, emerald lakes framed by pine and larch forests, their calm waters reflecting the surrounding mountains, and traditional Tyrolean villages clinging to the mountainsides.
At an elevation of 2,360 meters (7,500 feet) atop the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, you'll be treated to one of the most breathtaking mountain vistas, allowing you to gaze upon a multitude of peaks and valleys that stretch as far as the eye can see.
