The Smarter Way to Travel the Dolomites: by Train, Bus, and Cable Car
Watching the Olympics and drooling over that mountain backdrop? Same.
If you’re daydreaming about being there, here’s the good news: Exploring the Dolomites without a car is surprisingly easy. Northern Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige region has one of the most efficient public transit systems in the country, and it connects far more than you’d expect.
Step off a high-speed train. Hop on a regional bus. Ride a cable car with a scenic view. Within an hour, you could be wandering a Tyrolean village or staring up at the Dolomites’ jagged peaks yourself.
