How do I get to the Dolomites from Venice (St. Lucia) by train?

Question

I would like to take a day trip there to go hiking. Is it possible? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Hi Jessica, I'm also thinking of doing a hiking trip in the dolomites. My hubby and i will be in venice and would be making a 1-day trip to Cortina D'Ampezzo. Had been doing plenty of research on this so let me share what i've come up with :)

Assuming you are going to Cortina:

You can take a train from Venice St. Lucia (at Mestre) to Calalzo. From here, there will be a shuttle bus to the ski resort.

Train: 2hr 43mins (if direct, there are some non-direct routes).

Shuttle bus: approximate 1 hour

Shuttle bus (Calalzo - Cortina) - http://www.cortina-ftp.org/oraribus/Cal_...

Alternatively, you can take a bus. Which is direct from Venice to the ski resort. But be mindful that during certain periods, it doesnt run daily. Check out the timetable.

If you are not looking at Cortina, you can use Trenitalia website to check out the train timetables.

Hope this helps.
