This is relative to the person however here’s what you can expect:

• Spring: Blooming meadows, fewer crowds
• Summer: Green trails, long daylight
• Fall: Vibrant colors, cooler temps
• Winter: Snow-covered peaks, alpine romance

It’s a given that golden hour magic is going to give you the perfect light. Weather conditions can be a bit concerning so I would recommend a summer elopement.

How to Get There

Based on my research the closest and most practical airport is in Selva the Innsbruck Airport in Austria, which is about 1 hour, 45-minute drive. Being from Texas that drive is like nothing!

If you’re looking for another option Verona Airport, is around 2 hours away by car.

Where to Stay When you Elope in the Dolomites

Cortina d’Ampezzo is where you’ll want to stay for easy access to the hikes and activities you’ll want to experience. Hotel Colombia & Spa is a nice reputable hotel. Anacora Cortina on the other hand is a modern luxury stay. Both would work well for proximity to your elopement location and views.
