Depart Azzano Decimo early and follow the SS48 through the stunning Valbelluna, stopping at Lago di Misurina for a sunrise walk along the crystal‑clear lake shore. Enjoy the panoramic view of the surrounding peaks and snap photos at the iconic Misurina Lake viewpoint.
Continue the drive to Auronzo, where you’ll visit the impressive Auronzo Dam and its turquoise waters at Lago di Auronzo. Take the cable car to Rifugio Auronzo and hike the short trail to the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo, spending time at the iconic viewpoint for unforgettable mountain scenery.
Check into a half‑board hotel in Misurina, unwind with a leisurely stroll around the lake, and enjoy a traditional Tyrolean dinner featuring speck, polenta, and local wines. End the day with a quiet nightcap on the hotel terrace under the star‑filled Dolomite sky.
Take the early cable car from Cortina up to the Tofana di Mezzo plateau, then hike to the Lagazuoi summit for sweeping views of the Dolomites and a visit to the WWI open‑air museum hidden in the mountain tunnels. The museum offers a poignant glimpse into Alpine warfare history.
Descend back to Cortina and wander the elegant town center, exploring boutique shops, artisanal chocolate stores, and the historic Basilica Minore dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo. Grab a light lunch at a local trattoria before heading to the Falzarego Pass for a short scenic hike to the Cinque Torri rock formations.
Return to Cortina for a relaxing dinner at a mountain‑style restaurant, savoring dishes such as casunziei (stuffed ravioli) and strudel. After dinner, enjoy an aperitivo on the piazza, soaking in the lively alpine atmosphere before departing the next morning.
