What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We offer convenient pick-up options based on your arrival location: Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE): Your driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall just after the luggage claim area, holding a sign with your name. We offer full Meet & Greet service and monitor your flight in real-time, so there’s no need to worry in case of delays. One hour of complimentary waiting time is included. Venice City Center (Historical Area): Due to limited vehicle access in Venice, the meeting point is Piazzale Roma, the last area accessible by car. If you're staying at a hotel within the historical center, we can assist you in booking a watertaxi transfer (extra cost) to reach Piazzale Roma easily, where our driver will be waiting. Venice Mainland (Mestre, Marghera or other areas): For pick-ups from any address on the mainland, simply provide your exact location (hotel, B&B, apartment). The driver will pick you up directly at the entrance. In all cases, the driver's contact information will be provided prior to your transfer, and our operations team is available via phone or WhatsApp for any assistance or real-time updates.
What to expect
Your journey from Venice to Cortina d’Ampezzo is more than a simple transfer — it’s a gradual immersion into the majestic beauty of Northern Italy.
After leaving the Venetian lagoon behind, the road heads north through the Veneto countryside, crossing peaceful farmlands and gentle hills. As you gain distance from the coast, you’ll begin to notice the landscape changing, with vineyards and rolling terrain giving way to alpine valleys and mountain forests.
About halfway through the drive, you’ll pass the UNESCO-listed Prosecco Hills, a world-renowned wine region known for its picturesque vineyards and charming hilltop villages. It's a perfect place to admire from the window or mark for a future visit.
The route then winds into the Cadore Valley, a historic region rich in culture and art. You’ll pass near Pieve di Cadore, birthplace of the famous Renaissance painter Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) — a town nestled between rivers and peaks.
As the altitude rises, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic. You’ll enter the heart of the Dolomites, with sweeping views of legendary peaks such as:
Monte Pelmo, the "Throne of the Gods"
Antelao, the "King of the Dolomites"
Sorapiss and its jagged ridges
Croda da Lago, mirrored in alpine lakes
Tofana di Rozes, a towering rock cathedral
Cristallo and Pomagagnon, framing the skyline of Cortina
Depending on the season, you’ll see lush green slopes, golden autumn forests, or snow-covered summits shining under the sun.
The entire journey lasts approximately 2 hours, offering a smooth transition from Venice’s lagoon atmosphere to the crisp air and alpine charm of Cortina — a resort town known for its world-class skiing, hiking, shopping, and breathtaking nature.
This scenic route is not just a way to get from one place to another — it's an unforgettable part of your Italian adventure.
