Best route by rental car from Milan (Linate) to South Tyrol, Italy (Hotel Pension Sonia)

Greeting. In the first part of June, we'll pick up a rental at Linate airport. From there, we drive to Hotel Pension Sonia. What is the best route? In general, I mean that fastest route. Avoiding toll roads is not essential because we have a good budget. However, we absolutely want to avoid the dreaded ZTL zones.

From Hotel Pension Sonia, we have to drive to the parking area for the Adolf Munkel day hike. What route should be take?

A day later, we want to drive the Gardena Pass, coming from Hotel Pension Sonia. From the Gardena Pass, we'll head to Hotel Lago di Braies (Hotel Pragser Wildsee). The route we've mapped out isn't supposed to be the fastest. It's a scenic drive. Does the route look good to you? Drive from Hotel Pension Sonia to Val Gardena. Gardena Pass starts on SS242 in Val Gardena. Eventually, turn left on SS243 and continue to Corvara, then turn left on SS244 to get to Hotel Lago di Braies. This is a SCENIC drive. Not meant to be the fastest route.

The next day, after hiking, we'll drive to Heiligenblut, Austria. What's the best route to take?

Appreciate the input!

And where is the Pensione Sonia? What is the name of the town?
In any case, once you have the exact location, just use GoogleMaps to find the best route.
If it’s somewhere in the Province of Bolzano, the most direct way will be the A4 toll freeway east toward Verona, then at Peschiera you head north to meet the A22 freeway north, toward Trento and Bolzano.
