How to get from Venice to Cortina d’Ampezzo: Comparing Taxi, Bus, and Car Rental

Private Transfer (Taxi) from Venice or the Airport to Cortina d’Ampezzo

You book a car with a driver who meets you with a name sign at Marco Polo Airport (VCE) or at your hotel in Venice and takes you right to the doorstep of your hotel in Cortina.

1. Only ~2 hours on the road. You don’t have to wait for a bus or look for parking.
2. Fixed price and free waiting if your flight is delayed. You can also make a stop along the way.
3. Our drivers are specialists in this specific route. They know how to avoid traffic leaving Mestre and during rush hour on the SS51 highway, ensuring you take the most optimal path.

For a group of 3–4 travelers, the price per person becomes comparable to bus tickets, while the boost in comfort is huge.

Public transport (Cortina Express Bus) — the budget-friendly option

Buses depart from the Venezia Mestre train station or Marco Polo Airport (VCE) and go straight to the Cortina bus station (Piazzale della Stazione).

The ticket price is significantly lower than a private transfer, and it’s a direct trip with no transfers.

The downside is that you’re tied to the bus schedule. Plus, you’ll have to carry your suitcases and skis from the terminal to the bus stop yourself, load them into the luggage compartment, and then do it all over again once you arrive to get to your hotel (which could be a 15-20 minute walk uphill). You arrive at the bus station, from where you’ll still likely need a taxi or a shuttle.

Renting a car at Venice Airport

If you rent a car at Venice airport, you’ll be following your GPS along the A27 and SS51 highways.

On the downside, parking in Cortina is a real headache: parking lots (like Piazza delle Erbe or the one by the stadium) are paid and get packed during the high season. Plus, many hotels don’t have their own parking spots.

From November 15th to April 15th, winter tires or snow chains are required by law. Rental companies often provide cars with summer tires and charge extra for the winter gear.

For less experienced drivers, the trip can be pretty stressful: the SS51 is a mountain road with tunnels, steep drops, and heavy tourist bus traffic. It’s not exactly the most relaxing way to start your trip after a flight.

Your choice should come down to your priorities. If time, comfort, and guaranteed safety are your top concerns, a private transfer is really the only way to go.
