The Dolomites: a Day trip from Venice

The beautiful Cadore is an area within the region of Veneto, located at the border with Austria, South Tyrol and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is in the Cadore that the powerful Republic of Venice sourced the woods that were used to build not just the foundations of palaces, but also ships; the wood market was so profitable that wealthy Venetians invested their money into forested lands and sawmills; among them, the famous painter Titian, who was born in Pieve di Cadore, and thus used the proceeds from the sale of his works of art. After having seen the house where the Titian was born, we will see Monte Pelmo, a spectacular mountain of the Dolomites, a giant block rising isolated from other peaks. Passing through charming little villages surrounded by beautiful mountains, we will reach Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of the most famous localities of our mountains thanks to its ski slopes, Natural Beauty, but also shops, traditional activities and local cuisine
