The Most Comfortable Way to Reach the Dolomites

The Dolomites span three provinces — South Tyrol, Trentino, and Belluno — and draw millions of visitors each year for hiking, skiing, and breathtaking alpine scenery. Getting there by train and bus means complicated connections and heavy luggage. With MilanoByCar, your private chauffeur picks you up from your hotel or airport and delivers you directly to your Dolomites destination — no stress, no transfers, no parking.

Flying Into Venice for the Dolomites?

Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is the closest airport to the eastern Dolomites — just 160 km and approximately 2 hours from Cortina d'Ampezzo. MilanoByCar can collect you directly from Venice arrivals and transfer you to any Dolomites destination, or combine the journey with a Venice hotel pickup.

Pro tip: Travelling from Milan Malpensa to the Dolomites? The drive via the A22 Brennero motorway passes through some of the most beautiful scenery in northern Italy. Consider a short stop in Trento (well-preserved Renaissance old town) or Bolzano (where Italian and Austrian culture meet) en route.

"We have been using this company for 15 years: Malpensa pick-ups, round trips to Florence, Venice, Corvara, Courchevel and Megeve. Always on time and the driving has always been very safe — never once did we feel unsafe, even on mountain roads in a snowstorm."
