You’ll head into the heart of the world-famous Dolomites Mountains on this bus tour. The UNESCO-protected mountains were formed over 224 million years ago, and they’ve been visited by everyone from Hemingway to Hepburn. You’ll start by heading up to Pordoi Pass, for sweeping views of some of the Dolomites highest peaks. At 2,240 metres above sea level, you’ll see why they’re nicknamed the ‘pale mountains’, all snow-covered, with golden, pink and purple hues. You can visit a memorial to Italian cyclist, Fausto Coppi, who is remembered as ‘the champion of champions’. He won the Tour de France twice, the World Championship and the Giro d’Italia, which passes through the mountains. You’ll stop for lunch, before visiting the mountain village of Ortisei. Here, you can learn about the art of wood carving. Locals have been producing wooden statues and art for two centuries, and there are plenty of shops selling their work.
