Cortina d'Ampezzo to Ortisei and Bolzano: Private day trip

A postcard-perfect alpine town where wooden chalets meet dramatic Dolomite peaks. Ease into Ortisei with a gentle walk through its historic center, where traditional alpine architecture meets modern boutiques. Spend time visiting artisan workshops or souvenir shops featuring hand-carved wooden figures. Then stop by St. Anthony’s Chapel, a Renaissance gem, for a quiet moment away from the crowds. End your visit at a sunny terrace restaurant before continuing deeper into South Tyrol.

Bolzano blends medieval streets, mountain views, and vibrant piazzas. Explore Bolzano at a relaxed pace, starting with a walk through its picturesque old town. Spend time browsing shops beneath medieval arcades, then visit the cathedral to see its intricate stonework. Continue toward the fruit market, where locals shop for regional produce and culinary delights. If you have extra time, visit the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology for a glimpse of the remains of Otzi the Iceman, Europe’s oldest known natural human mummy. Finish your stop with a cafe break before returning to Cortina.
