Ideal destinations in Veneto


Veneto: what to know

Veneto offers beautiful landscapes for experiences in the city and within a few miles of major destinations. The region is not only famous for its wide variety of vegetation, from plains and coastline to hills and vineyards, lakes and mountains, but also for the diversity of local products and dishes, such as casunzei and prosecco.

What to do in Veneto

The most touristy area is Lake Garda from the Venetian shore, where you can find lake-view horseback riding, sunset boat tours on the lake, or a fun daytime Vespa tour of the Gardesana. Otherwise, Valpolicella and the Prosecco area in Valdobbiadene are typical areas to taste some of Italy's most important wines. For the more adventurous, in the winter time, Cortina d'Ampezzo and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are teeming with snowmobiles for fresh snow excursions with dinner at a mountain hut!

A special occasion in Veneto

The provinces of Verona, Treviso, Venice, and Padua, as well as the areas of Lake Garda, Valpolicella, Val di Cadore, and the Venetian Dolomites provide a suitable atmosphere for any type of occasion. Whether you are looking for a wine tasting or romantic picnic in Valpolicella, a peaceful horseback ride with friends or a fun quad bike ride with friends on Monte Grappa, Veneto is the right destination!

Snowshoeing through the woods at Passo Giau from Cortina

In this picturesque area you will have a choice of two exciting activities:

Snowshoeing at Giau Pass

Accompanied by an experienced Mountain Guide, you will have the opportunity to scropriate the majestic views offered by the Italian Alps. You will wear snowshoes to cross silent snow-covered forests and climb to discover the most imposing peaks up to the Giau Pass, which will offer you a never-seen-before panorama: the Mondeval plateau surrounded by unique mountains such as Pelmo, Lastoni de Formin, Becco di Mezzodì.
A very beautiful hike along an open and sunny route suitable for everyone, even beginners.

Snowmobiling and snowshoeing

During this activity you will travel a journey of about 30 minutes on a snowmobile driven by an experienced driver. This snowmobile ride will allow you to reach the highest point of your excursion while enjoying the snowy landscapes from a whole new perspective. Once you arrive, you will begin your snowshoe descent through a quiet trail with breathtaking views at the edge of the forest.
Easy hike, suitable for everyone.

Both hikes can be private or group depending on the number of participants or personal preference. Group snowshoeing will not be done if the number of those booked is less than 4. In the event that the Guide does not receive any more reservations, you will be notified that the hike is cancelled.

Proper winter clothing is recommended with waterproof clothing, thick gloves, sunglasses and hiking boots, but not moonboots. Also, it is recommended to have a backpack with water, sunscreen and snacks in it.

Snowmobile snowshoeing at the Three Peaks of Lavaredo

Snowshoeing by snowmobile to the Three Peaks of Lavaredo is a unique and adventurous experience that will take you on a discovery of beautiful snowy landscapes.

The tour involves snowmobiling to the Three Peaks of Lavaredo and then a snowshoe hike and sledding descent. It is a peaceful route with beautiful views at the edge of the forest.

The snowshoe hike includes a loop tour, all around the Three Peaks, passing under the dizzying and impressive north walls that rise 550 meters into the sky.


Itinerary description:

  • Upon arriving at Rifugio Lago d'Antorno, you rent fast snowmobiles that ascend to Rifugio Auronzo (at 2320 meters) in about 25 minutes. The route you take by snowmobile ends just below the great rock walls of the Tre Cime Di Lavaredo and takes about 30 minutes.
  • The snowshoe hike begins at the Auronzo Refuge and follows the summer trail counterclockwise to the Forcella Lavaredo, a strategic point for a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding mountains.
  • It continues by crossing all the north walls to the Forcella di Mezzo, from which it returns to the Lago d'Antorno Refuge along the Val delle Fontane.
  • For the return trip we recommend a nice toboggan ride that can be rented directly at the start of the hike.


A unique experience to admire one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Dolomites and suitable more or less for everyone (physical condition permitting), requiring no particular effort as the uphill part is done driving the snowmobile, so that one can enjoy the panoramic tour of the Peaks and the descent.

Snowmobile Excursion to the Three Peaks of Lavaredo

A real Safari... but on snow by snowmobile, from Lake Antorno, near Cortina and Misurina, to the Three Peaks of Lavaredo at the Auronzo refuge.

On the way you will be driving the snowmobile for a length of about 20 km, going through stretches in the middle of forests and fir trees, until you reach the foot of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, the most famous mountains in the Dolomites with an incredible view of Cortina d'Ampezzo and the whole valley.

The serpentine of snowmobiles (maximum of 4) will follow a guide who will determine the pace and safety of the chosen route. You will first run a 3km loop around Lake Antorno and after that the real climb begins, stop for 10 minutes at the Auronzo hut, just below the Three Peaks for photos and a small break and then return to the bottom of the valley.

At the end of the experience, it will be possible to add a tasting of wines and local products including D.o.c.g. wines from Trenitno, Veneto and Alto Adige and local cold cuts and cheeses. One tasting is for 2 people.

Experience a fantastic snowmobile ride through the forests and spectacular scenery all over the snow-capped Dolomites in one of the most beautiful winter resorts in all of Veneto.

No prior experience is needed to ride a snowmobile and all you need is to be of legal age.

This is the closest snowmobile experience to Cortina d'Ampezzo, which climbs the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. An unforgettable experience!
