Discover the real Capri while staying in one of our carefully selected hotels
Where Italy, Austria and Switzerland meet, you’ll find the Dolomite Mountains – some of Italy’s most breath-taking scenery. Our full-day excursion is the perfect way to experience this spellbinding – but relatively untouched – part of Italy.
You’ll be taken through the heart of the Dolomites and its most striking, snow-capped mountain ranges. You’ll see the majestic Marmolada Glacier and drive through the Pordoi Pass, at an altitude of 2,239 metres. From there, you can take Trentino’s highest cable car to reach the Sass Pordoi, a panoramic viewing platform at 2,950 metres.
In the afternoon, you'll head down the Gardena Valley with a stop at Ortisei, an alpine town in South Tyrol, one of northern Italy’s finest food and wine regions.

Capri's season runs from April to October. Summer (June to August) is the busiest time for the island but even during these months the evenings are relatively quiet as most people are only visiting for the day. April, May, September and October are the best months to travel to avoid the worst of the crowds and still enjoy good weather and warm sea temperatures.
At the current time, British citizens do not require a visa to visit Italy.
Whilst tipping isn’t embedded into Italian culture it is always appreciated as an acknowledgement of good service. Nowadays people generally round up a bill in a bar or cafe and leave 5-10% extra on a restaurant bill. Taxi bills are usually also rounded up.
On guided tours/excursions, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide.
On small group escorted tours, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide at the end of the tour.
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.
Take the chairlift (called the 'Seggiovia' by locals) from Anacapri up to Monte Solaro. On a clear day the views over the Bay of Naples are indescribable.
