About This Experience

A circular lakes route from Venice led by an environmental hiking guide rather than a driver alone, with a drone along to film the day from the air. Pick-up is at 7:30 am at Piazzale Roma, or in front of your hotel if you are staying outside Venice.

Lake Misurina comes first with an hour of guided walking, then Lake Braies gets the long stop of the day at an hour and a half — enough to walk the shoreline path or stop for lunch at the water's edge.

A panoramic photo stop for the Tre Cime di Lavaredo follows, then a short walk in the centre of Cortina d'Ampezzo before returning to Mestre or Venice.

Stops are flexible; the guide will tell you where it is worth walking and where a photograph is enough. Bring a wind jacket and trekking shoes.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.8/5 by 89 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

Totally worth it! The tour is what I had in mind for a day trip to the Dolomites. The tour guide is very familiar with the area and provides good information. There are stops to take pictures and the plus is the drone videos offered as well. Special Thanks to Fabio

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do you get at Lake Braies?

An hour and a half, the longest stop of the day. That is enough to walk a good stretch of the shoreline path past the wooden boathouse, or to stop and eat at the lake. Lake Misurina gets an hour earlier in the day, and Cortina about thirty minutes at the end.

What does the environmental hiking guide add?

The guide leads the walking at each lake rather than simply driving and waiting, so you get commentary on the landscape, geology and wildlife as you go. It is a more walking-led day than most Venice departures, which are essentially scenic transfers with free time.

Where is the pick-up point?

Piazzale Roma in Venice at 7:30 am, or in front of your hotel if you are staying outside the city. The operator asks that you make contact to confirm your date, ideally before purchasing, so the group can be arranged.

Is the drone footage included?

Yes — the operator films the lakes and your group from the air during the day. It is the same feature as their Lakes of the Dolomites departure, applied to a route that puts Lake Braies rather than Lake Auronzo at the centre.

What should I bring?

A wind jacket and trekking shoes. The route is built around walking at the lakes, and Braies and Misurina both sit high enough that the air is considerably colder than Venice — a difference that becomes sharp from October onwards.
