Landing at Treviso late and heading to Cortina: drive tonight or wait?
I land at Treviso after 21:00 and I'm staying in Cortina. Should I drive tonight?
Not your flight? Plan your own Treviso arrival.
Plan your own →Cortina is about 130 km from Treviso Airport, roughly two hours by car in good conditions. After dark in winter, with mountain roads and a day of travel behind you, it usually takes longer.
Most rental desks at Treviso close between 19:00 and 22:30, and there are no evening buses to the Dolomites. That leaves three real choices: collect the car and drive, sleep near the airport and collect in the morning, or pre-book a transfer.

- Pick up from 08:00 (next day) and drive in daylight.

Worth knowing
▲ Winter tyres or snow chains on board are compulsory on most Dolomites roads from 15 November to 15 April.
Other ways to do it
Not possible at this time
- Bus and train: To catch the last connection to Dolomites you need to be out of arrivals by 17:30; you're out at about 22:15. A transfer or a hotel near the airport are the usual fallbacks.
Prices are estimates for comparison. Desk hours and timetables change, so confirm with the operator before you travel. How we work this out
