Overview

Free your mind from the city frenzy and give yourself an enveloping experience with a private tour to discover the Dolomites, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Together we will explore the most enchanting places that have made the Dolomites famous throughout the world. We will indulge in moments of relaxation on the shores of crystal clear lakes, nestled between the peaks and fir forests. The views, which can be enjoyed simply sitting or walking, offer an extraordinary natural spectacle. Every moment is a good time to visit the Dolomites, especially if you belong to that group of people who embrace the belief that life should be lived with an adventurous spirit. The Dolomites, with their magnetic charm, become irresistible once you cross the threshold: they have too much to offer!

Auronzo di Cadore

The first stage of our day, after having passed through enchanting mountain villages for almost 2 hours, we will make a short stop of about 30 minutes to admire and take a short walk along the coast of the crystal clear waters of Lake Auronzo, which also thanks to the chain Marmarole mountain range, welcome us to the Dolomites.One of the most interesting aspects of Lake Auronzo is its geological history. The lake was formed by a glacier that carved a deep basin in the valley during the last ice age, leaving behind a breathtaking landscape that continues to attract visitors from all over the world. Lake Auronzo is the largest lake in Cadore, with a surface area of about 1.7 sq km.
