What To Expect

Carezza

We leave Carezza lake behind and we drive over the Costalunga Pass. First we will pass by the famous Grand Hotel Carezza (about 30' drive). The Hotel was the first luxury hotel of the area built in the 19th century along the Great Dolomites Road, which was built at the beginning of the 1900 to promote tourism in the Dolomites Region. Despite its glamorous past and illustrious guests (Winston Churchill, the Empress Sissi of Austria, Agatha Christies) the hotel lost its charm, and most recently was involved in a scandal. Your guide will tell you all the curiosities and gossips about it! Say good-bye to Alto Adige and hello to Trentino!
