SUMMER DOLOMITES
PHOTO TOUR 2027 ITINERARY
The following itinerary gives you an idea of how our Summer Dolomites Photo Tour 2027 is planned. As this is a landscape photography workshop in the Italian Dolomites, the exact daily schedule may change depending on mountain weather, sunrise and sunset light, and the best photography opportunities. Our priority is always to be in the right location at the right time to capture the breathtaking landscapes of the Dolomites in the best possible conditions — not to follow a rigid timetable.
DAY 1 – Arrival in Italy & Transfer to the Dolomites
On the first day of our Summer Dolomites Photo Tour, we will pick you up directly from Venice Marco Polo Airport or your hotel if you decide to arrive a few days earlier. You won’t need to worry about arranging taxis or transportation to a meeting point.
After the pickup, we’ll enjoy lunch together at a nearby restaurant, where we can get to know each other while experiencing delicious Italian cuisine.
Following lunch, we’ll head towards Cortina d’Ampezzo, a beautiful mountain town in the heart of the Italian Dolomites. Here, we’ll check into our first hotel, which will be our comfortable base for the next three nights of our photography adventure. After check-in, we'll visit our first sunset location near the hotel - iconic lake Misurina.
DAYS 2–4 – Exploring the iconic landscapes of Cortina d’Ampezzo
Over the next three days, we will focus on photographing the majestic mountain landscapes surrounding Cortina d’Ampezzo. We’ll visit some of the most iconic photography locations in the Dolomites, along with several hidden gems we have discovered during our many years of exploring this spectacular region. One of the highlights will be Tre Cime di Lavaredo, one of Europe's most breathtaking mountain formations. These three towering limestone peaks rise dramatically above the surrounding alpine landscape, offering extraordinary opportunities for landscape photography.
We will also photograph beautiful alpine meadows around Passo Falzarego and Passo Giau, where colorful wildflowers and pink alpine rhododendrons often bloom during early summer. Our guides will help you master composition, light and camera techniques to capture these spectacular mountain scenes.
Another highlight will be the picturesque alpine lakes of Lago di Antorno and Lago di Landro, offering stunning views of the surrounding Dolomite peaks and beautiful mirror-like reflections when conditions are calm.
DAYS 4–6 – Alpine Meadows & The Beauty of the southern Dolomites
On the fourth day, we will transfer to our second hotel, allowing us to explore new photography locations in the southern Dolomites. We’ll stay near Passo Rolle, a beautiful mountain area that offers a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere than the popular region around Cortina d’Ampezzo.
During the following two days, we will photograph some of the most spectacular summer landscapes in the Italian Dolomites. One of our destinations will be Passo Gardena, where colorful alpine wildflowers cover the meadows beneath dramatic limestone peaks, creating beautiful opportunities for landscape photography.
We will also visit the iconic Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm), famous for its rolling green meadows, traditional alpine huts and breathtaking mountain backdrops. This is one of our favorite locations for sunrise photography, when the first golden light transforms the landscape into something truly magical.
Another highlight will be the picturesque Val di Funes, known for its spectacular mountain views and charming alpine scenery. Along the way, we’ll explore several lesser-known photography spots we have discovered during our previous visits to the Dolomites.
DAYS 7–8 – Hidden Gems, Post-processing & Departure
On the seventh day, we will focus on exploring the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Passo Rolle, one of the most beautiful areas of the southern Dolomites. This region offers spectacular views of dramatic, jagged mountain peaks, colorful alpine meadows filled with wildflowers, and crystal-clear lakes reflecting the surrounding mountains.
We will also venture into lesser-known alpine valleys rarely visited by tourists. These hidden locations offer incredible opportunities to capture unique compositions and return home with photographs that go beyond the typical images of the Dolomites.
During the final days of our photography workshop, we will also dedicate time to post-processing lessons, showing you how to bring out the best in the photographs you've captured throughout the tour. All editing sessions will be recorded and shared with you afterward, allowing you to revisit the techniques whenever you wish.
On the eighth and final day, we will head out for one last sunrise photography session near our hotel. Afterward, we’ll return for breakfast, pack our belongings, and begin our journey back to Venice Marco Polo Airport. Just like on arrival, your transfer is fully taken care of. We will drop you off directly at the airport or at your hotel if you decide to extend your stay in Italy, bringing our unforgettable Summer Dolomites Photo Tour to an end.
WHERE YOU'LL STAY DURING OUR
DOLOMITES PHOTO TOUR
Comfort and relaxation are an important part of our photography tours. During our Summer Dolomites Photo Tour, we will stay in two carefully selected hotels, conveniently located near some of the most beautiful photography locations in the Italian Dolomites.
We'll spend our first three nights near Cortina d'Ampezzo, followed by four nights near Passo Rolle. Staying in two different areas allows us to explore a wider variety of landscapes while minimizing unnecessary travel.
After our sunrise and sunset photography sessions, you'll have a comfortable place to relax, recharge your batteries and enjoy the atmosphere of the Italian Alps. Daily hotel breakfasts are included throughout the tour.
PHYSICAL DIFFICULTY – EASY TO MODERATE
Our Summer Dolomites Photo Tour is designed primarily for landscape photographers, not experienced hikers. Most photography locations are accessible by car followed by relatively short walks. Some locations may involve slightly longer walks along scenic mountain paths, but we always allow plenty of time and keep a comfortable, relaxed pace for everyone. We carefully plan our itinerary to allow enough time to reach each location without unnecessary rushing.
Our goal is to make the photography experience enjoyable and comfortable while giving you access to some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Italian Dolomites.
If you have any concerns about your fitness or mobility, please contact us before booking. We'll be happy to discuss the physical requirements with you.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
ABOUT OUR PHOTO TOURS
I am a veteran of many different photo workshops and I can say that the Lofoten adventure was the best yet. Part of my opinion is based on the location but the rest is based on the expert guidance of Isabella and Filip. This was my second tour with them, my first being Iceland. They are extremely kind and so willing to share their knowledge as well as do everything they can to make sure that you enjoy your experience and return with photos that you will cherish. I have already signed up for another tour with them in later 2026 and hope to have many more adventures with them. I highly recommend their workshops.
