Range Rover Evoque: Venice to Cortina Adventure

So, picture this: you’re in Venice, right? It’s almost time to leave behind all the canals and the gondolas. You know, instead of flying or taking a train, what if you grabbed the keys to a Range Rover Evoque and just…drove? We are going toward the Dolomites and then up to Cortina d’Ampezzo? That sounds good. That’s very good.

Picking up the Evoque in Venice

Landing in Venice, that is usually Marco Polo Airport, you too might think about skipping the usual water taxi scrum and picking up your ride right away. That sounds right? A Range Rover Evoque seems to fit the bill nicely. A bit stylish, really rather compact for Italian streets, and it seems like it can handle those mountain roads to come, right?

Getting out of Venice itself might seem, well, a bit tricky. Still, with the Evoque’s GPS and that slightly elevated driving position, I located a route toward the mainland easily enough. The feel as you slide behind the wheel. You are experiencing it.

The Drive Through Prosecco Country

Leaving Venice behind, anyway, you soon find yourself among the gently rising hills of Prosecco country. So, obviously, stopping at a vineyard for a quick tasting is just almost mandatory, isn’t it? The Evoque actually handled those narrow vineyard roads really well, I noticed.

This region is definitely amazing. Just picture rolling hills covered in vines, a little sunlight, and the chance to sip some bubbly right from the source. Anyway, the Evoque’s comfortable ride makes clocking miles pretty much enjoyable. I suppose even with those occasional bumpy patches is also a great way to get from point A to point B.

Conquering the Dolomites

Now, you are approaching the Dolomites, too. It becomes quickly clear that these are serious mountains. This is a challenge for a car, like your Evoque. This trip involved climbing passes and hairpin turns. That sounds dangerous! That sounds fantastic!

The Evoque, though, you know, it handled them. It tackled them well. Its all-wheel-drive system really shines on gravel sections, as I could find myself seeing it in action, keeping the car steady. Plus, the views from the top are more than beautiful? You will like them a great deal. They are views that really will leave you breathless. Like seriously stunning. I could feel this car handle them without fail.

Cortina d’Ampezzo: Reaching the Pearl of the Dolomites

Arriving in Cortina d’Ampezzo, a beautiful mountain town, too, the Evoque looks very right at home parked among all the fancy hotels and boutiques. A sense of arrival washes over you.

Cortina seems a place to stretch your legs, and maybe enjoy some window-shopping. Grab an extremely fancy dinner. So, maybe take a cable car up for panoramic views. The Evoque, though, it really got me here, that is something I knew as soon as I arrived.

The Evoque: A Comfortable Companion?

The Range Rover Evoque. Very nice. Not super sporty, as the driving of the road indicates, but it can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Comfortable seats, so you are settled well enough, a nice sound system for your tunes, and just a slightly elevated ride height make it a great choice for touring. At the very least, it makes you feel like a baller.

It might not be the choice if you plan on going off-roading all that much. The truth is, it is well-suited for Italian adventures of this type, and I can assure you of that personally.

Would I Do It Again?

Yeah, absolutely. Like, doing that drive again? It will definitely be the best plan, no doubt. Venice to Cortina. Driving those Dolomites. So, you will have this little stylish SUV. This will become one of those travel experiences you’ll talk about for ages. Really. Every bit of it is unforgettable.

Maybe next time, I will actually consider packing lighter, to make luggage easier. However, anyway, the trip itself? Totally worth doing again.
