Any ideas about how to get from the Venice Airport to the ski village of Covara in the Dolomites. Also, can ski's be stored at the Venice Airport while touring venice

Hi Mervolina - There's a bus service from Venice to Corvara in the ski season.

When are you travelling?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for yur reply. I am actually inquiring for friends who wil be traveling next week. Do you know where they would pick up the bus and how long it takes ? Also they will be returning by train to Venice for a few days of sightseeing after skiing. Do you happen to know if they can store their skiis in either of the Venice train stations or at the airport for a few days. We can't seem to find any informatin on this.

Thank you very much,

Mary

Mary - On checking the Dolomitibus website it seems the DIRECT Venice-Corvara service ceased last weekend, unfortunately.

So they can either -

- go to Belluno (- by train from Venice Mestre)

... and take the Belluno-Caprile-Corvara bus service from there

- see Belluno-Colfosco timetable

(- leaves from Belluno railway station)


OR

- go to Cortina (- train to Calalzo, then connecting bus)

... and take the bus (- operator: Dolomitibus) from there to Passo Falzarego ...
- which connects with another service (- operator: SAD) from Passo Falzarego to Corvara via La Villa in Badia.


The first option via Belluno is easier and quicker, I think.

Journey time from Belluno is 2hrs 20'
Total journey time from Venice should be about 5 hrs (- but will depend on connections at Belluno).

For train timetables Mestre-Belluno see:

Hope this helps ...

P.S. What day are they travelling?

IF they are travelling on the weekend there's a bus service from Venice Airport to Cortina - from where they can book a taxi service to Corvara.
