Planning a Dolomites trip for 2026? Start now and thank yourself later. ⛰️
If the Dolomites have been sitting on your “one day” list, 2026 is the year to make it happen. This is a region that rewards thoughtful planning: dramatic peaks, emerald lakes, alpine meadows, and villages that feel untouched by time.
A well-balanced itinerary doesn’t mean rushing – it means choosing the right places and giving them space to shine.
Our most-loved Dolomites experience looks like this:
• Free time in Cortina d’Ampezzo, the elegant heart of the Dolomites
• Panoramic viewpoints of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, with plenty of photo stops along scenic mountain roads
• Lake Misurina, where you can stroll the lakeside, enjoy lunch, or (in summer) take the cable car up to Col de Varda
• Lake Auronzo, a peaceful final stop to slow down and soak in the alpine atmosphere
When to go?
Late August to early October is a favourite – fewer crowds, crisp air, golden larches, and perfect hiking conditions. Early summer brings wildflowers and lush green pastures.
If you’re dreaming of Italy in 2026, now is the moment to start shaping a journey that feels effortless, immersive, and unforgettable.
