Cortina d’Ampezzo spreads 73 runs across 120 km of piste of terrain. It leans intermediate at 49%, with 28 beginner runs to find your feet and 9 advanced or expert runs when you want to push.

Cortina typically operates from mid-November through late April, delivering one of the longest ski seasons in the Dolomites with peak conditions concentrated in January through March. The resort benefits from average annual snowfall of 350cm supplemented by comprehensive snowmaking coverage across 95% of terrain, ensuring reliable conditions throughout the extended season. The elevation span from 1,217m to 2,828m creates varied snow conditions, with Tofana's upper slopes maintaining excellent coverage while Faloria-Cristallo's technical terrain preserves quality through strategic snowmaking and favorable north-facing aspects.

The resort's position within the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites exposes skiers to the region's distinctive microclimates and dramatic weather systems, though clear weather reveals extraordinary panoramic views extending across the Sella Group, Marmolada, and Tre Cime di Lavaredo peaks. The predominantly intermediate terrain with 49% red runs and 38% blue runs appeals particularly during stable winter periods, while 13% black runs including the legendary Forcella Rossa (62% gradient) and technical Schuss (56% average gradient) challenge expert skiers. Spring skiing extends well into April thanks to high-altitude terrain on Tofana and Lagazuoi, where north-facing slopes preserve corn snow quality. The extended season coincides with major sporting events including the annual Women's Alpine Ski World Cup races in January and preparations for the February 2026 Winter Olympics when Cortina hosts women's alpine skiing, bobsleigh, skeleton, luge, and curling competitions.
