Private Transfer Cortina d'Ampezzo to Venice: Car & Water Taxi

Skip the shuttle queues: a private car takes you through the Dolomites, then a boat finishes the journey to your door.

A private transfer from Cortina d'Ampezzo to Venice with an English-speaking driver in a winter-equipped car. You can add a water taxi to reach hotels in central Venice, or travel by road alone. The journey takes around two hours and includes a short photo stop if you request one.

The experience

The car picks you up in Cortina d'Ampezzo and heads toward Venice through the Dolomites. Your driver speaks English, knows the area, and can answer questions about the landscape as you travel. The car is equipped for winter and snow, so the route stays reliable year-round. If you want to pause for pictures along the way, a 15-minute stop is available on request.

When you reach Venice, your choice of transfer determines what happens next. If you booked the road transfer alone, the car takes you to your destination on the mainland side. If you added the water taxi option, you'll switch to a private boat that carries you directly to your hotel in the center of Venice: the only way to reach the islands themselves. This combination works for anyone staying in central Venice's hotels, where cars cannot go.

Round-trip service is available if you need the same route in reverse. Contact the operator directly to arrange a tailor-made itinerary or to confirm pickup details for your specific hotel.
