Day trips from Venice to Dolomites, compared
Six day trips from Venice to Dolomites valleys and peaks are listed on this site. Prices start at $110 for a nine-hour day to Lake Braies and Tre Cime di Lavaredo by minivan, and every one runs nine or ten hours, out of Venice by road and back the same day. Four visit Cortina d’Ampezzo, three include a walk around Lake Misurina, and two are private, at $1,120 and $1,343. They suit anyone who wants the mountains without driving there, and a walk with a view rather than a climb.

Value
Are day trips from Venice to Dolomites worth it?
On the numbers, the standard days are fair value for a full day. Best of the Dolomites comes to $11.10 an hour, the Lake Braies day to $12.22, the Cortina day to $18.44 and the Misurina, Auronzo and Antorno day to $20.70.
The ratings are steady: the four standard days score between 4.7 and 4.9 on 3,436 reviews between them.
What you give up is a day in Venice. Nine or ten hours is the whole day, so a mountain day fits best when the city has already had its turn.
Private or standard
Private day trips from Venice to Dolomites: what the extra buys
The two private listings cost $1,120 and $1,343, against $110 for the lowest standard day. What the money buys is the day to yourself: a private driver on the Lake Braies listing, a private guide on the Prosecco one.
The second also changes the route, adding the Prosecco Hills and a Prosecco DOCG tasting to the mountains, and it has 245 reviews at 4.9. The private Lake Braies day has 8. Before booking either, check on the listing how many people the price covers.
