Today it was time to explore the Dolomites. The sky was blue when we woke up. After breakfast, 5 of us in the group took off to Forte Tre Sassi. It’s an old fort from WW1, just 30 minutes drive from Cortina d’Ampezzo. Today it’s a museum dedicated to the fighting in the Dolomites between Italy and Austria during WW1. It’s a well presented museum worth visiting. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos inside the museum. So, you’ll only find exterior photos here.
After Forte Tre Sassi, we drove to Passo delle Erbe for lunch. Our guide for today, Martin, usually stay at the hotel there when he and his friends visit the Dolomites. The roads from Passo di Falzarego was very beautiful. So was the views from the terass at Utia de Börz.
After the lunch we continued to Passo Giau. Yet more stunning views at the pass and fun serpentine roads on the way to and from the pass. From Passo Giau it’s only 30 minutes drive to Cortina d’Ampezzo.
In the evening we all went out for dinner. The food was ok but the service a complete disaster. I thought my wife would blow a fuse. So, we can’t recommed ”Bierstube FORST”. Go somewhere else! Such as ”LP26” across the square.
In total we drove 122 km today. Roof was down all day 👍
