Hi Sabrina,
We are planing to go in July and we are driving with a campervan. Can you suggest us some places or recommend where to park for the campervan in the dolomities. We wann to stay in Alta Badia, near Lake Braise, to hike the Tre crime, and in Cortina dAmpezzo, Val di Funes.

In reply to Michele Foo. Hi Michele, Thank you for reading our blog! Yes, definitely. It's a 50-minute drive from Cortina to Lake Braies. Between July 10 and September 10, there are road restrictions in Braies Valley. It's all explained in our Lake Braies guide. Kindly, Sabrina

Love your IG posts and your website. The latter has been very useful in planning our trip to the Dolomites next September.
We have 7 nights there and based on your suggested itinerary (excluding the 3 day hut to hut hike), I am thinking of staying in Val de Funes, Ortisei and Cortina d’Ampezzo (in that order). If we want to visit Lake Braies, could we easily drive there from Cortina d’Ampezzo without having to stay in Braies?

Hi,
You can book now for next summer. Sometimes, accommodations have a minimum stay. So, if you’re trying to book for only 1 or 2 nights, the platform blocks you. Also, many hotels are still closed in May and don’t open up until June.

Hi, Thank you for your information. It helps me a lot!!
We are going to travel Dolomites around June next year.
May I ask when will the accommodation in June be open for booking at the earliest?
Cause i check the booking.com website, it is not available for the room at May-June.

Thanks for the intinerary. We will be heading over there in a few days for 3 weeks, but still haven’t really figured out our route yet. With seemingly so many beautiful areas and so much information online I have to say it is a little daunting. This itinerary certainly helps, we’ll try to follow parts of it!
Cheers

In reply to Nadine Hamel. Hi Nadine, Austria is spectacular for hiking. Check out Hiking Destinations in the Austrian Alps for an overview. I think you would like: 1. Drachensee Hike, Tyrol 2. Wilder Kaiser range, Tyrol 3. Grosser Ahornboden in the Karwendel range, Tyrol 4. The Dachstein range. See this 5 huts trail. 5. Lech am Arlberg in Vorarlberg. Have fun! Sabrina

Love all your tips. Visited the Dolomites a few years ago and fell in love with the area especially the Alpe di Siusi area and Puez, Odle hikes. Headed to Austria for 9 days and I am having a hard time finding similar hikes with that kind of scenery and debating whether or not to just head in this direction from Vienna instead or give Austria a chance. I know you have been to both so looking for some experienced advice.
Thank you,
Nadine

Hi Brittany,

You’re very welcome.

For various trips to the Dolomites, we’ve rented cars in Ljubljana, Bratislava, and Bolzano, using the booking platform Billiger Mietwagen (unfortunately only in German).

Car rentals are very expensive this summer.

There is no luggage transport service that I know of. When we did this hike, we only needed a day pack (sleeping bag liner, sleeping clothing, a few cosmetics, rain jacket, sandals for the hut). We usually leave our luggage in the hotel we stayed in before the trek (or the one we’ll stay in after the trek).

If you decide to travel in the Dolomites without a car, it’s possible, but requires more planning (researching bus time tables).
You can take a train from Innsbruck to Bolzano and then take a bus from Bolzano to Ortisei, Val Gardena. I would stay in Ortisei 3 nights.
And then, it’s possible to travel to Cortina via Corvara, Alta Badia (Cortina Express Bus). Use the Rome2rio website to figure out the bus connections. Not all Dolomites bus lines are synced with Google Maps.

Have a great trip!
Sabrina
