As for the rest of my workshops, my goal is to offer you the best experience in the locations you will be visiting, that is why I will bring you to the best photography spots in the Dolomites.

Day 1

The group will meet at Venice airport on the first day of this Dolomites Landscape Photography Workshop. All participants must arrive before 12pm so that we can start our journey right in the beginning of the afternoon. After eating a quick lunch, we will start driving towards the beautiful Dolomites. The drive will last about 3h to 4h. On our arrival we will make our first stop at lake Carrezza which is a unique blue colored lake surrounded by wonderful peaks. We will then head to our first accommodation where we will stay for 3 nights.

Day 2 to 4 - Western Dolomites

During the next three days of our 2027 Fall Dolomites Photography Tour we will be exploring the major spots the area has to offer including the famous Alpi di Suisi, Saint John & Santa Magdalena Chruches, Sella Pass, Val Gardena Pass and Seceda ridge line.

Our day will be organized around sunrises and sunsets, ensuring that we are at the right spot at the right time. We will also place some editing sessions on some days, either during the day or in the evening.

The schedule won't be set as we will plan our day based on the weather forecasts. It is fall, and therefore a rainy day can happen. But not to worry, the Dolomites are extremely resourceful, and in this case we will be able to photograph amazing dramatic atmospheres at some specific locations, normally relatively unattractive with good weather.

In any case, We will visit all important spots, and I will ensure that you come back each day with memorable pictures.

Day 4 to 6 - Eastern Dolomites

After 3 days spent on the Western Part of the region, we will continue our Dolomites Landscape Photography Workshop 2027 on the Eastern part of the region. The Eastern part of the Dolomites has some of the most scenic mountain spots you can imagine including Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lago di Braies, Cinque Torri, Passo Giau, Lago Federa. You will have opportunity to discover them all and certainly with incredible fall conditions. We will stay close to Cortina D'Ampezzo which is a central point from which all spots can be reached easily.

Our daily itinerary might evolve depending on weather conditions, light expectations, but rest assured that all incredible spots available to us will be visited.

1. What is the fitness level required for this tour?

Although there won't be difficult hikes, some iconic spots require hiking up to an hour, such as Tre Cime di Lavaredo or Lago Limides. The hike to Laguna Federa is more difficult although not impossible.

Be reassured, no one will be left behind. In case the group is not comfortable with more difficult hikes, The tour will be adapted to fit everyone. However, iconic places such as Tre Cime di Lavaredo won't be skipped.

2. How will the weather be at that time of the year?

In October, the weather starts to cool down in the evening and in higher altitude while day temperature can be in the mid 10°C (50°F). Therefore, having warmer clothes, gloves and hat for the colder mornings and evenings is important. This is also the time of the year where the first snowfalls are likely, but mostly around passes. No specific snow equipment should be necessary.

A day of rain can also happen at that time of the year, therefore rain gear will be of help.

3. I am a novice or enthusiast photographer, will I get some support?

Don't worry, this tour is suited for all levels. My goal as photographer is making sure that you can bring amazing pictures to show your friends/family and of course decorate your home.

Your Guide

Hi there, I am Rémi Bergougnoux, a French landscape photographer with extensive knowledge over various topics in landscape photography.
I let behind my 9 to 5 corporate job in the course of 2021 before heading for a year in Latin America, exploring, and photographing this beautiful continent. While being back in Europe in the course of 2022, I decided to bring my photography to the next level, and took the chance to share my knowledge with other passionate photographer. Offering workshops came naturally to me given my knowledge of travelling, photography and desire to share my passion.
Besides workshops, I am also writing articles for magazines, writing photography guides, and creating YouTube video tutorials about landscape photography across Europe.
As for the Dolomites, I went there almost yearly since 2019 (besides Covid), and to this day, I know some of the best places, less crowded and also less usual compositions in well known spots. Returning to the Dolomites, either by myself or with a group is a guarantee for incredible moments and photographs no matter the weather conditions. I also happily tryo to discover new spots with my groups whenever possible.
