Dolomite Mountains

  • Experience some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in Italy

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. 

Price: From £80 per person (depending on resort).

Operates: Monday and Friday from Limone, Riva, Malcesine and Garda. Friday from Bardolino, Peschiera, Sirmione, Desenzano, Salo, Gardone and Gargnano

Giardini Naxos is an affordable and laid-back resort, close to Taormina and with plenty of charm of its own. Stretching along the beachfront in the same wide bay as Taormina, this authentic Italian town thrives in the summer, and is a tranquil option outside of peak months. Designed around a long promenade packed with shopping and dining, the town of Giardini Naxos is perfectly suited to a relaxed seaside escape.

There’s plenty of history to enjoy too, with the 15th-century Vignazza Tower and 16th-century Schisò Castle dominating the town’s skyline. Activity in the Giardini Naxos generally revolves around relaxing by the seafront, with several lidos providing easy access to the beach. In the evening, many of the beachfront bars and cafes stay open late and it is not uncommon to dine late into the evening, with ice cream or crepes to finish. Should you wish to see more of the area, then Taormina is just a 15-minute drive across the bay, and boasts an ancient amphitheatre, historic streets and a 13th-century cathedral.
