Hi Lizbeth, you’re in for a great trip 🙂
Yes, no problem to drive the Grande Strada Della Dolomite in one day. it’s a nice road, so you’ll have more than enough time to take a break and enjoy the scenery.
Bolzano is a lot bigger than Ortisei, so it really depends what you prefer. I’m more into small villages than big cities. In Ortisei there is also a nice variety of restaurants, but it stays village.
Lake Garda is lovely too! Try to take the road that goes along the lake.

Have a great trip!

Hi there. Thanks for your very informative article. We are visiting the Dolomites in July. My husband and I plan to travel by car from Verona to Bolzano stopping in Trentino and at Madonna Della Corona along the way. We plan to base ourselves in Bolzano for 3-4 days, doing day trips from there. We prefer not to move around too much.
Is it feasible to drive the Grande Strada Della Dolomite in one day, returning to Bolzano? (Is there a shorter route for the return?)
You mentioned that you prefer Ortisei to Bolzano. Geographically, do you think Ortisei would be a better base for us. We generally enjoy places that have a nice selection of restaurants, bars and cafes that we can frequent in the evenings. (We are also planning a day trip to Innsbruck by train. When we depart Bolzano we plan to drive south along Lake Garda where we will spend 2 nights in Sermione before returning to Milan.)
Do you have any other suggestions? All would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:)

In reply to Gay Allen. Hello, thank you for your comment. I changed the date to 1886 :) Happy to hear that you have some fond memories of this magic place.

In your intro of Simpsons history, second paragraph you noted Jimmy arrived in 1986 where is was 1886.
I worked at Num-Ti-jah in the summer of 1965. I have very fond memories of that summer, Jim and Mary Simpson, Jim Jr and the boys.

“The lodge is named after Englishman Jimmy Simpson, who left England for Canada in 1986”. That should be 1886. Apart from that, it is a wonderful article accompanied by beautiful photos. Thanks.

In reply to Lieselot. I found this VERY helpful as I am looking to move to northern Alberta. I am really worried about the cold. Not that I haven't been in cold (Ontario gets cold), but not THAT cold. I am bringing two cats with me and I am searching for ways to keep them warm. This winter, we will be moving from Africa, so it is a HUGE difference. If you have any advice for pet safety in such cold (of course keeping them inside), that would also be helpful :)

We are spending a bit of time in Cortina d’Ampezzo, and then we have to be in Bolzano to meet up with others. We’d like to rent a car in Cortina and then drive the Great Dolomite Road to Bolzano, then drop the vehicle off in Bolzano. However, we are having a difficult time finding a car rental company in Cortina. Any suggestions?
