2 Days in Dolomites Where to go?

Posted by Escapetraveler on 06/09/15 05:27 AM

I have 2 days in the Dolomites and need suggestion on where to go and route to take. I have seen Val di Funes in numerous pictures and definitely want to go there. Please let me know if the itinerary below is doable?

Day 1: Arrive at Venice by Air at 5pm. Rent a car at airport and drive to Belluno, stay in Belluno for the night. I assume I can be there by 9pm, given I have to clear immigration, rent a car?

Day 2: Drive from Belluno to Val di Funes, stay in Alta Badia or Val di Gardena.
Day 3: Drive from Alta Badia or Val di Gardena to Cortina, then back to Venice. Overnight in Venice and there for the next few days.

Is the above do able? Or do I need to add an extra day?

Assuming you will be there in a more-or-less high-season summer or early fall.... It is all beautiful. What do you want to do? Simply drive through as that is what your itinerary seems like to me. Above all, add a day so you can stay two nights in Alta Badia or Val Gardena. Then you can spend a day getting out an enjoying the scenery.

I would not drive Venice to Belluno in the dark. Are you arriving in daylight hours and able to make it there before nightfall?

I arrive at 5pm, so I figured that I can start driving by around 6:30pm, so it may be in the dark. how long is the drive from Venice airport to Belluno?

Try www.viamichelin.com to plan drive time and routes. Under the current plan, you'd probably be returning the car within 48 hours, but a third day would be cheap to add.

P.S. to readers: More of this itinerary plan is described on Escapetraveler's other question.
