Dolomites: Val di Fassa, Val Gardena, and Ortisei Private Tour with Driver

Immerse yourself in the extraordinary landscapes of the Dolomites on this private 6-hour driving tour, created for travelers who want to experience the mountains in a relaxed, refined, and deeply engaging way. Dramatic valleys, legendary mountain passes, and alpine villages come together in a carefully paced itinerary that reveals the essence of this remarkable region.

Your day begins with a morning pick-up at your hotel, where your private driver and expert local guide welcome you and introduce the journey ahead. The route leads first into Val d’Ega, where you reach the serene setting of Lake Carezza. Surrounded by dense forests and framed by the sharp profiles of the Latemar mountains, this glacial lake is famous for its ever-changing colors. Walking along the lakeside path, you can fully enjoy the quiet atmosphere and the reflections that have inspired local legends for generations.

Leaving the lake behind, the road climbs toward Costalunga Pass, a scenic alpine crossing that marks the transition between valleys and landscapes. As you ascend, wide views open over forested slopes and rugged peaks, creating one of the most striking panoramas in the area. Along the way, your guide shares insights into the geology, history, and alpine culture that define these mountains, offering a deeper understanding of the land beyond its beauty.

The journey continues into Val di Fassa, a valley known for its dramatic scenery and strong Ladin identity. Here, winding mountain roads lead you higher to Passo Sella, set at over 2,200 meters above sea level. From this vantage point, the massive forms of the Sella Group and Sassolungo dominate the horizon, delivering some of the most powerful views in the Dolomites. When conditions allow, there is time to step outside, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and fully absorb the scale of the landscape.

The final stop of the day is Ortisei, the lively and elegant center of Val Gardena. Renowned for its long tradition of woodcarving and its welcoming pedestrian center, Ortisei offers a pleasant contrast to the raw mountain scenery. You have free time to explore artisan shops, enjoy a coffee, or sit down for lunch in a local restaurant, discovering the softer side of alpine life.

As the afternoon light begins to mellow, your driver escorts you back to your hotel in comfort. This private Dolomites driving tour is ideal for those who want to experience the region’s most memorable landscapes without rushing, combining comfort, storytelling, and unforgettable scenery into a single, beautifully balanced day.
