No airport serves the whole of the Dolomites. Which one is best depends on the valley: Innsbruck in Austria for Val Gardena and the western Dolomites, Venice and Treviso for Cortina, Verona for the south and the Trentino resorts. Bolzano is the closest airport but has few flights.
Which airport for the Dolomites?
- Innsbruck: about 1 hour 50 minutes to Selva in Val Gardena over the Brenner Pass, less to Ortisei. The main ski-charter airport for the region. A live Welcome Pickups quote on 12 November 2026 gave €261 from Innsbruck Airport to Piazza Sant'Antonio in Ortisei (one passenger, pickup on 25 November).
- Verona: about 2 hours 15 minutes to Selva via the A22 motorway, and closer to Trentino resorts such as Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo.
- Venice and Treviso: the airports for Cortina d'Ampezzo, about 2 hours by car or by the Cortina Express bus. To Val Gardena they are about 3 hours.
Private transfers in the Dolomites
Mountain roads, snow and resorts spread across several valleys make public transport slow, with changes at Bolzano, Brunico or Chiusa. A transfer takes you and your skis to the door; prices are per vehicle and show when you enter your route. You can book a Dolomites transfer with Welcome Pickups.
