The Day

Venice to Lake Braies, how the day works

Your driver meets you for pickup at Piazzale Roma and drives north through the Veneto into South Tyrol to Lake Braies, a lake in the Dolomites at 1,494 m. You return to Piazzale Roma the same day.

The route. From Piazzale Roma the road follows the A27, the SS51, the SS49 and the valley road to the lake: about 205 km, roughly 2h 50m each way. The round trip is about 405 km, roughly 5h 40m of driving, so this is a long day.

The places. Lake Braies (Pragser Wildsee) lies in South Tyrol. The Fondazione Dolomiti UNESCO names the Fanes-Senes-Braies chains as part of the Northern Dolomites system of the World Heritage site. Lake Dobbiaco (Toblacher See), at 1,259 m, is on the way and adds about a minute of driving.

The pace. The driver waits while you are at the lake, and the time there is yours to set. In summer the valley road can require an online reservation for cars at peak hours; we check the current rules for your date.
