You will the depart to Cortina via the "Passo Tre Croci" (1805 m). Cortina, the capital of the Dolomites, is a winter sports and summer resort with a worldwide reputation. Set in the heart of the Dolomites at an altitude of 1210m/4000ft, Cortina is a spot for discovering the magnificent mountain scenery. We suggest an excursion to the "Tofana di Mezzo", where a cable car climbs to 3244m/10743ft, from where there is a superb panorama over the surrounding mountains.
The driver can suggest a restaurant for lunch. After lunch you leave Cortina to drive along the "Passo Giau" where you reach the altitude of 2233m/7382ft, here you will have a breathtaking panorama over the surrounding mountains.
