A visit to the dramatic natural scenery and beautiful alpine towns of the nearby Northeastern Italian Alps. Among their peaks are included some of the most famous of the Dolomites: Monte Cristallo, the Marmolada and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, all about 3,300m. (10,000 ft.). After a short stop for breakfast en route, we arrive at the charming village of Pieve di Cadore, birthplace of the Venetian Renaissance master, Titian. Following a walk through town and a visit to the painter’s 14th century home, we proceed to the Lago di Misurina, a natural alpine lake, where we take in breathtaking views while enjoying an exquisitely catered picnic lunch. Afterward, we drive up to the base of the most celebrated peaks of the Dolomites, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, where, at 2360m. (7,741 ft.), we enjoy what is widely considered to be the most spectacular views of the Dolomites. After an optional hike in the mountains, we conclude with a visit to the stunningly picturesque resort-town of Cortina d’Ampezzo, the “Pearl of the Dolomites” and setting of the 1956 Winter Olympic Games. Ample free time allows one to xplore the elegant boutiques of the Corso Italia or relax in one of the town’s chic street-side cafés.
