Dolomites and Ortisei day-tour from Lake Garda

Start the bus tour from your pick-up point with a tour guide who will explain the itinerary, what you'll do on the day and why the Dolomites are so well known and admired. In the morning, you will have a short stop in the towns of Moena or Cavalese (it will depend on several factors, such as time and weather). These are typical towns where you can enjoy browsing through the many windows of different shops of local products, clothes or craft shops and enjoy a good cup of hot chocolate. After the short visit, the excursion will continue.

Arrive at Pordoi Pass (2240 meters in altitude) by bus where the most important summit can be admired. You will be able to see the famous Marmolada, Sella and Catinaccio summits. Here there will be free time for lunch and for taking some pictures of the impressive nature.

The Dolomites, also known as the "Pale Mountains", take their name from the carbonate rock dolomite, itself named for 18th-century French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (1750–1801), who was the first to describe the mineral.

In the afternoon, the bus will stop in a typical resort well known for wood carvings: the town of Ortisei. This mountain village is known by ski lovers for its beautiful wood buildings, church and shops. A nice occasion to buy a souvenir from the Dolomites.
