What is the best route from the Venice Airport to Ortesei? We are willing to compromise speed over scenic views as long as the driving is not too white knuckle driving and the difference in time is not too substantial.

One thing we typically do is take a train to a smaller/closer town and then pick up a car. We will be in the Dolomites, as well, and we are picking up a car in Bolsano. Just an idea.

Go to Cortina from the airport (about 2+ hours of not white knuckle drive).
Then from Cortina go to Ortisei taking the Falzarego pass (SR48). Once you reach Arabba, take the SR242 to Corvara through the Campolongo Pass, then at Corvara the SR244 down to Ortisei. Another couple of hours of more curvy but not difficult driving.
The best drive ever.
