One Week Itinerary Exploring the Dolomites – Cortina d’Ampezzo and Ortisei, Italy

The Dolomites have been on my travel bucket list for a long time – once I discovered this magical region in Italy, it has been a region I could not wait to explore. After marking it down for the 2024 travel year, it has finally arrived. While we have visited many parts of Italy, this one will be the most unique. In the Italian Alps, the influence here will be more from Austria, Switzerland, and Germany than traditional Italian culture as it is really its own thing. The pictures of this location simply do not do it justice and I knew that going into this trip. The Dolomites really is a perfect destination for an outdoor getaway – a great way to experience nature and disconnect.
