Cortina D'Ampezzo travel and airport transfer information

By car
As you drive in the direction of Cortina from Venice, past Longarone and the villages of Tai and Valle in Cadore, you enter the valley of the river Boite, with the impressive mount Pelmo on your left and mount Antelao on your right.
After a few miles, past the village of San Vito, the most spectacular view is going to disclose in front of your eyes: the Ampezzo valley in all its beauty, surrounded by its magic mountains, and Cortina with its tower bell, sitting right in the middle.
This is the main way to reach Cortina, and the only one that does not demand driving through mountain passes.

Driving from south, that is from Belluno-Venice (SS51 of Alemagna), you will find the signposts for Passo Tre Croci – Auronzo – Misurina (SS48bis of the Dolomites), on the east;
Dobbiaco - Bolzano – Brennero (SS51 of Alemagna) on the north;
Passo Falzarego and Passo Pordoi (SS48bis of the Dolomites) on the west.
