Autumn in Dolomites | 7 Day Photo Workshop

On day 2, you will enjoy another memorable sunrise shoot, either in the valley of Val di Funes or in Passo delle Erb. After returning to the hotel for breakfast, we’ll take the time to rest, enjoy the views and go through a post-processing tutorial. After lunch, we will head towards the Alpe di Siusi, Europe’s largest alpine meadow and a popular mountain resort with stunning scenery. In the autumn months the place is quiet and still - perfect for another sunset shoot to remember. Here, the rolling green hills meet the earthen hues of larches and pine, bathed in the warm autumn sun. We will stay here until sunset, before heading back to our accommodation for the night.

On Day 3, we’ll rise early to greet the sunrise over Alpe di Siusi. As the first light hits the peaks, we’ll photograph sweeping panoramas and dramatic mountain silhouettes. With a bit of luck, a crisp autumn morning will drape the valley in a soft mist, giving us ethereal scenes as the landscape slowly comes to life.

After lunch, we’ll pack up and make our way to Baita Segantini for an unforgettable sunset session in one of the most spectacular locations in the Dolomites. For the following four nights, we will stay at Cortina D’Ampezzo.

On Day 4, we’ll head to Lago Fedèra for a stunning sunrise session, capturing the first light as it reflects off the calm waters and rugged peaks. Afterward, we’ll return to our hotel to rest and review our images from the previous days.

In the evening, we'll head to Rifugio Scoiattoli, for a sunset shoot at the Cinque Torri - the five stone towers. In the vicinity is an open-air museum dedicated to Italian troops who fought in World War I. We'll spend our time capturing the area before heading back to the hotel.

Our sunrise location on day 5 will be the stunning lake of Lago Antorno. This is one of the most recognisable locations within the Dolomites, presenting a multitude of stunning opportunities for landscape photography. After breakfast, we'll make our way back to Tre Cime di Lavaredo, where we'll hike beneath the peaks of the Three Sisters for an amazing sunset shoot.

Tre Cime is the most iconic trio of peaks in Italy, and perhaps the finest example of the Dolomites’ dramatic, sculptural landscape.

On Day 6, we’ll start before dawn and drive to Lago Braies for a magical sunrise session. As the first light touches the surrounding peaks, we’ll photograph mirror-like reflections on the emerald lake, classic wooden boats, and the iconic boathouse framed by towering cliffs. After the shoot, we’ll return to the hotel for breakfast, some rest, and time to review and edit images from the previous days, with guidance on composition, processing, and workflow for those who’d like it.

In the late afternoon, we’ll head up to Passo Giau for sunset — one of the most scenic mountain passes in the Dolomites. Here we’ll capture sweeping views of rolling hills, jagged peaks, and dramatic rock formations glowing in the evening light. As the sun sets and the sky shifts through pastel tones, we’ll move between a few vantage points to make the most of the changing conditions before returning to the hotel for dinner and a well-earned rest.

This will be our final day in the Dolomites. We'll rise early and head to our final sunrise shoot. We will then check out from the hotel at 11am, commencing the journey back to Venice airport and arriving after 14:00. There you can catch a plane home or stay for a few days in a city with architecture to match the incredible rock formations we have enjoyed over the past week. For those departing home on this day, please schedule your flights for after 17:00, in order to accommodate for any possible delays.
