Dolomites, Amarone & Lake Garda: A Bespoke Route Idea
Alpine passes through Austria and the Dolomites, Amarone wine country in Valpolicella and a finale on the shores of Lake Garda: a route idea for a bespoke grand tour.
Mountain Passes, Amarone and the Lake
Few journeys combine driving and the good life as well as this one. Austria's Alpine roads lead into the Dolomites, whose high passes are among the most celebrated driving roads in Europe. From there the road drops south to Valpolicella, the hills north of Verona where Amarone is made, and on to Lake Garda.
It works beautifully as an own-car grand tour for a club or private group, starting and finishing wherever suits you, or as a shorter journey with hire cars.
