## Our recommendation

Choose the Dolomites loop from Bolzano for the famous icons in four days: Lago di Braies, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Cortina and the Giau, Falzarego and Pordoi passes, about 214 km in all. It is best June–September; Braies may need booking in high summer, and the hairpins are tight for long vehicles and busy with cyclists. Pick the Brenta Dolomites from Trento for a shorter, gentler loop of about 129 km: Molveno, the Nardis waterfall, Madonna di Campiglio and the orchards of the Val di Non. Its best months are May–June and August–September.
