Here is a glimpse of what to expect during your excursion to the Dolomites, Lake Misurina and Cortina from Venice to give you a good idea of what awaits you.
An Out of this World Escape from Venice
The tourists would leave Venice in the early morning on a scenic route for the Dolomites. The journey, through charming villages and stunning countryside with glimpses of rural mountain life, would take about two-and-a-half hours. The Dolomites are one of Europe’s most beautiful mountain ranges, comprising tall peaks, verdant valleys, and clean air. It is one of the greatest escapes from Venice, especially for the magnificent, mysterious throngs.
Discovering the Dolomites: The Natural Masterpiece
The jagged tops of limestone contrasted against the green rolling fields below make for a stark comparison with each. Nature lovers are able to walk and photograph, taking advantage of the opportunity and sheer nature beauty. Certain popular vantage points such as the Tre Cime di Lavaredo provided panoramic views well worth the impact of the changing light these moments of day have on them.
Lake Misurina: The Pearl of the Dolomites
A highlight of this excursion is a stop at Lake Misurina–the “Pearl of the Dolomites.” It sits at an elevation of 1,754 meters and is a beautiful alpine lake. Lake Misurina provides crystal mountain air which is said to possess healing properties. Visitors may stroll along lakeshores, breathe fresh mountain air, and have meals at lakefront restaurants providing genuine alpine cuisine.
Cortina d’Ampezzo: An A-1 Ski Resort in Italy
On to Cortina d’Ampezzo, one of Italy’s renowned skiing resorts. The “Queen of the Dolomites” has it all from being a Winter Olympics host town to being a winter sportsman’s favored holiday retreat; but charming in summer too, the town boasts with its designer boutiques, high-end cafés, and surrounding mountains of sheer beauty. One can walk the old town, shop designer boutiques, or just sit and sip a coffee and enjoy the unparalled mountain views.
Back to Venice: A Day Well-Used
As the sun sets on a day shared between the beauty of the Dolomites, Lake Misurina, and Cortina, there is a leisurely drive back into Venice. On the way, memories of Italy’s beautiful mountain scenery could be taken in one last time. I had the perfect opportunity to stop and gaze in amazement.
This excursion to the Dolomites, Lake Misurina and Cortina from Venice will be an excellent balance of natural, adventuresome, and relaxing. This day will give you a chance to break free from the city life-an optimum therapy for any naturalist, photographer, or traveler craving solitude set in one of the picturesque areas of Italy.
