Arrival day · September 7

Munich to the Dolomites

One easy, slow driving day through the Alps and into the Dolomites by evening

  1. St. Lukas church on the Isar in Munich

    Pick up rental car

    Munich

    We'll land at 9:25 in the morning, grab the rental car, and be on the road south within the hour — first glimpses of Munich along the way

  2. Eibsee lake with turquoise water and the Zugspitze massif behind it

    Alpine lake

    Eibsee

    A short detour off the autobahn for a swim in turquoise water, the Zugspitze rising in the distance. Stay for the rope swing, then a quick lakeside lunch

  3. Aerial view of Mittenwald and Lautersee in the Karwendel range

    Coffee & pastry break

    Mittenwald

    A quick coffee stop in one of Bavaria's prettiest towns, old houses painted with frescoes, the Karwendel peaks rising behind the rooftops

  4. View of Monte Civetta from Colle Santa Lucia

    Arrive at Airbnb

    Colle Santa Lucia

    We'll roll into the village as the evening light hits the peaks. Casa Tie is minutes further, and we'll light the first fire

Casa Tie · September 7-12

A 200-year-old farmhouse, 1,500 meters up

Renovated stone and old wood, a garden and terrace, and Civetta and Monte Pelmo filling the windows. We'll stay in a quiet hamlet outside Colle Santa Lucia

A hotel's flag-draped facade and canopied entrance on a Munich streetPlaceholder
