Cortina d’Ampezzo
Veneto, Italy
Cortina d’Ampezzo is a historic resort town in the Veneto Dolomites of northern Italy. The local Cortina ski area offers about 120km of pistes across its main sectors, while the Dolomiti Superski pass opens access to a far larger 1,200km network. Terrain is strongest for intermediates and stronger piste skiers, though there are beginner zones and some more demanding runs in areas such as Tofana.
Snow reliability is solid in core winter thanks to altitude and snowmaking, even if the area is less naturally snow-sure than the highest Alpine resorts. The town atmosphere is elegant and spacious, with boutiques, cafés, smart hotels and a distinctly Italian social rhythm. Cortina is especially known for dramatic Dolomite scenery, the Olympia delle Tofane race heritage and its status as one of Italy’s most iconic winter destinations.
