Venice Airport to Val Gardena transfer: how it works
A private transfer from Venice Airport to Val Gardena takes you from the arrivals hall at Marco Polo straight to your hotel in Ortisei, Santa Cristina or Selva, with no changes and no waiting for connections. Your chauffeur meets you with a name sign, helps with skis and suitcases and tracks your flight, so a late landing simply moves the pickup time. Send your flight number, arrival date, passenger count and the full address of your accommodation: we reply with a written quote and agree the pickup before the journey is confirmed.
How long does it take from Venice Airport to Val Gardena?
The journey covers about 200–250 km and takes about 3 to 3½ hours without stops. Your chauffeur chooses the route according to season, weather and traffic: in winter the priority is main roads kept clear of snow, in summer a more scenic drive through the Dolomites can be arranged on request. On Saturdays in high season and during snowfalls allow extra time; we confirm an estimated schedule for your travel date.
Where we take you in Val Gardena
We serve every village in the valley: Ortisei (St. Ulrich), Santa Cristina (St. Christina), Selva di Val Gardena (Wolkenstein), plus Plan de Gralba, Passo Sella and the hamlets on the way to Alpe di Siusi. Staying in a chalet above the village or at a mountain hotel reached by a narrow road? Tell us in your enquiry: we reach every address accessible by car.
Winter: skis, snow and changeover days
Val Gardena is part of the Dolomiti Superski and the Sellaronda, so most guests travel with ski bags. The V-Class carries up to seven passengers and ten suitcases, with space for skis, snowboards and boot bags; tell us how many sets you bring so we can confirm the fit. In winter the vehicle runs on winter tyres and carries chains as required, and your chauffeur knows the valley road in the dark and in snow.
Summer in the valley
From June to September the same transfer takes you to Val Gardena for hiking on Alpe di Siusi, the Sella passes and the Vallunga. Your chauffeur can also add a short stop in Bolzano on the way, or you can book a chauffeur at disposal for a day on the Dolomites passes, or one of our private tours from Venice.
Return to Venice Airport and other routes
Request both directions together and we plan the return pickup around your flight, allowing for luggage drop and security at Marco Polo. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the transfer.
