Logistically, you should go Lake Como to Val Gardena to Val di Fassa to Venice, or the other way around. There is daily bus service between Venice and Val di Fassa between now and September 16. There is a daily bus between Canazei in the Val di Fassa and Val Gardena. The connection between Lake Como and Val Gardena is rail between Como and Milan, Milan and Bolzano, and bus between Bolzano and Val Gardena. You can get all around Lake Como on the lake ferry service.

Grace,
At Lake Como are you planning to stay in 3 places: Varenna, Como and Bellagio? You really do not need to to do to see the area. Just stay in Varenna and buy a ferry pass that allows you (daily, weekly) access to all of the ferries to all of the cute little towns.

Looks good! At least you will be in the Val Gardenia when the lifts are still running!
