The Dolomites are one of the most fascinating destinations in Europe: spectacular peaks, crystal‑clear alpine lakes, vast plateaus and valleys rich in traditions. For travellers who want a complete experience, we have created a 7‑day Dolomites itinerary that allows you to discover the most iconic places of this UNESCO World Heritage Site and savour every nuance of this unique region.
Day 1 – Cortina d’Ampezzo and Passo Giau
The journey begins in Cortina d’Ampezzo, the “Queen of the Dolomites”, where the elegant atmosphere of the historic centre introduces you to the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. From here, the road climbs to Passo Giau, one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the entire Dolomite range. Its high‑altitude meadows and surrounding peaks offer a first taste of the magic that will accompany the whole trip.
Day 2 – Three Peaks and Lake Misurina
The Three Peaks of Lavaredo are an absolute symbol of the Dolomites. The loop trail allows you to admire them from every angle, among historic mountain huts and landscapes that seem suspended in time. In the afternoon, Lake Misurina offers a relaxing atmosphere, with its waters reflecting the mountains like a painting.
Day 3 – Lake Braies and Three Peaks Dolomites
Lake Braies is one of the most sought‑after destinations for visitors to the Dolomites. At sunrise, the lake reveals intense colours and a magical atmosphere. The day continues in the Three Peaks Dolomites, between San Candido (Innichen) and the Val Fiscalina (Fischleintal), where nature shows its most authentic side.
Day 4 – Val Gardena and Seceda
You move into the heart of the Dolomites, in Val Gardena (Gröden). From here, a cable car takes you up to Seceda, famous for its sharp ridges and the view of the Odle (Geisler Peaks), one of the most iconic panoramas in the region. Ortisei (St. Ulrich) and Selva (Wolkenstein) complete the day with their warm hospitality and Ladin traditions.
Day 5 – Alpe di Siusi and Passo Gardena
The Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm), the largest high‑altitude plateau in Europe, is perfect for panoramic walks and moments of pure relaxation. In the afternoon, Passo Gardena (Grödner Joch) offers another spectacular viewpoint over the Sella Massif, ideal for photography lovers and high‑mountain scenery.
Day 6 – Val di Fassa and Marmolada
The day is dedicated to the Marmolada, the “Queen of the Dolomites”. The cable car from Malga Ciapela takes you to Punta Rocca, where the glacier and the view of the Sella create a majestic landscape. On the way back, a stroll through Canazei or Pozza di Fassa lets you enjoy the lively atmosphere of the valley.
Day 7 – Lake Carezza and Catinaccio
The journey ends at Lake Carezza, famous for its intense colours and the legend of the water nymph Ondina. In the afternoon, the Catinaccio (Rosengarten) offers one of the most emotional spectacles in the Dolomites: the Enrosadira, the phenomenon that colours the peaks pink at sunset.
