The 4 Best Cortina d'Ampezzo & Dolomites Day Trips

1.Dolomites Via Ferrata Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 58 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $167Our pick

Climb a guided Dolomites via ferrata from Cortina with expert instruction, dramatic views, flexible routes, and practical safety support.

“The guide is named Marco and helped facilitate a fun and safe first via ferrata experience! I have 10+ years of mountain climbing but was still appreciative of his orientation before we started climbing. At first we were linked together with rope and a fail-safe for the two carabiners, and then permitted to remove our attachment to the rope if comfortable. The Via Ferrata we did was an A-C grade (easier side of scale) but plenty fun and mentally engaging for a Ferrata newbie. I would not hesitate to book with Marco again.”

2.Cortina & Dolomites Small Group full Day tour from Venice

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 40 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $275

See Cortina, Tre Cime, and the Dolomites from Venice on an eight-hour small-group tour with scenic drives, lakes, and free time.

“We had a great experience with our guide Simone. He was knowledgeable about so many different places (he's been working as a guide for years in so many different locations it was great to just talk to him in general.) Unfortunately, it was a bit rainy for our trip to the Dolomites. However, it was still well worth our while going. Just make sure you check the weather before going on this trip. Both the days directly before and after we went it was warm and sunny in the Dolomites. However, on our trip it was in the 50's (Fahrenheit) and as I said rainy. Just make sure you dress…”

4.Heart of the Dolomites starting from Cortina d’Ampezzo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $450

Review of the 7-hour Heart of the Dolomites tour from Cortina, with cable cars, mountain passes, village stops, local guides, and practical booking tips.

“It was a beautiful experience thanks to Andrea and Annarita. The weather was quite pleasant (luckily). It was interesting to see the varying landscapes (complete white followed by greenery and back to snow...) all along the way and get to know interesting facts about the surrounding region. The road has many twists and turns (as expected in such areas) - just something to keep it mind. The tour itself was very well organized and executed. Highly recommended if you're looking for a similar experience.”
