Cortina D’Ampezzo

Set in the heart of the Dolomites, Cortina d'Ampezzo stands as Italy's most storied mountain destination. Known as the Queen of the Dolomites, this historic resort combines world-class skiing with unmistakable Italian style and sophistication. The pedestrian Corso Italia forms the resort's elegant heart, where centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with modern luxury. As host of the 1956 Winter Olympics and the upcoming 2026 Games, Cortina maintains its position as Italy's premier mountain destination. The town's distinctive character comes alive in its historic bell towers, artisan workshops, and family-run mountain refugios, where generations of Alpine culture merge with contemporary Italian flair. The surrounding UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites create a stunning natural amphitheater of rose-tinted peaks.

Cortina's sophisticated lift network connects three main skiing areas - Tofana, Faloria, and Cristallo - offering 120 kilometers of expertly maintained slopes. The recent addition of modern gondolas and chairlifts has enhanced the skiing experience while preserving the area's natural beauty. Each skiing zone presents its own distinct character, from the Olympic runs of Tofana to the sun-blessed slopes of Faloria. The resort's integration into the Dolomiti Superski network provides access to an astounding 1,200 kilometers of interconnected pistes. Advanced skiers can challenge themselves on the legendary Olympia run, while dedicated learning areas feature gentle slopes and modern magic carpets. The network includes strategically placed mountain restaurants offering spectacular viewing terraces.
