(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Karersee - Lago Di Carezza
We reach the beautiful and fairy tale lake of Carezza with its clear emerald green waters, nice forests and breathtaking view of the Dolomites and the Latemar Mountain group. Your guide will tell you the tale of the lake and its nymph and the reason behind it’s original name in the ladin language, the Lec de Ergobando, the rainbow lake. Time to walk around the shore of the lake and to take the most spectacular photos.
Carezza
We leave Carezza lake behind and we drive over the Costalunga Pass. First we will pass by the famous Grand Hotel Carezza (about 30' drive). The Hotel was the first luxury hotel of the area built in the 19th century along the Great Dolomites Road, which was built at the beginning of the 1900 to promote tourism in the Dolomites Region. Despite its glamorous past and illustrious guests (Winston Churchill, the Empress Sissi of Austria, Agatha Christies) the hotel lost its charm, and most recently was involved in a scandal. Your guide will tell you all the curiosities and gossips about it! Say good-bye to Alto Adige and hello to Trentino!
Vigo di Fassa
Continue our tour by entering in the heart of Val di Fassa (about 20 minutes drive), known in the traditional legends as the Land of Salvans, the original inhabitants of the Ladin Valleys. We will stop in the charming village of Vigo and visit the Museum of Ladin culture, getting to know more about this ancient population, its traditions and language.
