In a nutshell
Join Thor in October 2027 for our Dolomites photography workshop. We will guide you to some of Europe’s most beautiful landscapes and impressive mountains in the Italian Alps.

The Dolomites provides a host of amazing photographic opportunities. Stunning lakes, graphic mountains, traditional churches and more.

The mountains of the Dolomites have very distinctive features and are considered to be a region of such natural importance, that they form a part of a designated UNESCO world heritage site.

This workshop is for people that love big views. These mountains are just so impressive at every turn. Shooting in the Dolomites is more than photography. The whole area is simply so strikingly beautiful it becomes an experience.
Getting to Dolomites
You want to fly into Marco Polo Venice ( VCE )

The workshop starts and conludes at the airport.
Physical Requirements:
EASY/MODERATE: We consider it ‘easy’ to be able to walk up to 15 minutes on uneven ground. Most locations are within a few minutes walk of the car. There are 2 walks of 30 minutes with gentle elevation. One is on a paved road and the other a mountain path. The landscape is not paved and you need to be able to walk on uneven ground and manage your gear.
Day by day plan
Our Dolomites photo tour 2027 starts from Venice international airport.

You will meet at Venice Marco Polo Airport Arrival Hall (between 11am – 1pm – exact times TBC). You will then be transported to our hotel base in Passo San Pellegrino. We don’t like to waste any time so we will get out for a sunset shoot immediately.

We will spend nights 2 and 3 in the Selva Di Cadore of the Dolomites. We will spend nights 4 and 5 in the Ortisei region region of the Dolomites.

We will visit different locations each day always starting with a sunrise shoot (the sun is up around 8). After our sunrise shoot, we will return to the hotel for breakfast. There will be a break for breakfast and a short down time.
We will then head out again for an afternoon and sunset shoot. Lunch will be informal and eaten amongst the beautiful scenery.

On day 6 the tour will finish with a sunrise shoot after which we will be transported to Venice in the afternoon. Exact time TBC.

General info
We do not aim for a fixed itinerary apart from where we are staying.
The weather in Iceland can be extreamly changable and often we need to work around that.
Despite being a drone photography focused workshop I highly recommend bringing your camera gear as there will be oportunities for that as well.
We will however mainly be focused on taking to the air and capturing the stunning landscape from a birds eye veiw.

A packing list will be sent out prior to the workshop along with list of what is recommended to bring, gear wise.
