After a good home cooked and heavy breakfast, the owner briefed us and recommended the best route to be taken. The route started from the Antholz Valley and continued via the secondary road towards Cortina de Ampezzo passing through a few high altitude passes for the best of Dolomites scenery. On the way, we stopped at Lago Antorno and Lago Misurina. There are plenty of high altitude lakes which are a common sights in the Dolomites Mountain range area.

Those mirror image of the mountains reflected by the lakes are truly stunning and breathtaking. I personally feel that these postcard views of the Dolomites mountains are even more beautiful compared to its neighbouring country Switzerland.....

Coming down into Cortina de Ampezzo, the jewel of the Dolomites Mountain range, at an altitude of 1,224m once hosted the Winter Olympic game back in 1956. Famous as the top destination for winter holiday in Italy, this city offers varieties of activities for summer as well as winter sports. This is for sure an ideal place for honeymoon......

En route back to the Antholz Valley, we passed through another attraction of Dolomites Mountain, the Lagazuoi Open Air Museum. To get there, you can take a gondola ride to the top. Inside the gondola station at the top, you can get access into the highest open-air museum in the world whereby a lot of relics left behind by the Hungarian and Italian soldiers during the World War 1. Too bad the gondola was temporarily out of service when we got there for its scheduled maintenance. For more info on the museum, please visit
