Quick answers
Venice Airport to Cortina: the facts
01
How much is a private transfer from Venice Airport to Cortina?
€390 fixed, per vehicle (up to 7 passengers), all inclusive. The price covers tolls, parking, fuel, taxes and meet & greet. It is a per-vehicle price, so a family of four pays the same as a couple.
02
How long does the transfer from VCE to Cortina take?
About 2 hours door-to-door for the 160 km via the A27 motorway and the SS51 through Cadore. In winter, allow 15–20 minutes more in heavy snow. Your driver monitors road conditions.
03
Is there a train or bus from Venice Airport to Cortina?
There is no train to Cortina: the town has no railway station. Cortina Express and ATVO run seasonal buses from the airport (~€30 per person, 3 h, fixed departure times, no door-to-door drop-off). A private transfer is faster and takes you to your hotel entrance with your luggage and skis.

Winter driving & ski equipment
Built for the mountain road, not just the motorway
Skis, boards and boots travel free

The route
A27 motorway to Belluno, then the SS51 up the Boite valley through Pieve di Cadore and San Vito. The last 40 km are mountain road: scenic, well maintained, and cleared quickly after snowfall.

We drop you at your hotel, apartment or chalet entrance, including the outlying hamlets (Pocol, Zuel, Cadin, Fiames) and the Falzarego side.
FAQ
Venice Airport to Cortina: your questions
How much is a taxi from Venice Airport to Cortina?
A metered taxi typically costs €450–550 and is rarely available for the full 160 km journey. A pre-booked private transfer is €390 fixed: you know the price before you fly, and the driver is waiting inside arrivals rather than at a rank.
Do you charge extra for ski or snowboard equipment?
No. Separately from the transfer. Tell us how many pieces when you book and the figure you receive already covers them, with nothing added on the day. Just tell us the number of pieces when booking so we assign a vehicle with enough space.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight in real time and move the pickup automatically. Waiting time at Venice Airport is free. Your driver will be at arrivals with your name sign whenever you actually land.
Can you drive to Cortina in heavy snow?
Yes. Our vehicles carry winter tyres and chains all season and our drivers know the SS51 in every condition. If the road is closed by the authorities we contact you immediately and rebook or refund in full.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. €390 covers up to 7 passengers in a Mercedes V-Class, so for a full car it works out around €56 per person, with door-to-door comfort and no changes.
Can you pick us up in Cortina for the return to the airport?
Yes, the return leg is booked the same way at the same fixed price. We plan the departure around your flight time, including the early-morning pickups that winter flights usually mean.
