Discovering Cortina d'Ampezzo
Situated in the heart of the Belluno Dolomites, Cortina d’Ampezzo is one of Italy’s most renowned alpine destinations. Known as the Queen of the Dolomites and host of the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics, it combines breathtaking landscapes, high-level sports, and timeless elegance, making it ideal in every season.
In winter, it is a true paradise for alpine skiing: the Dolomiti Superski slopes offer over 120 km of runs among the Tofane, the Cristallo, and the Faloria. Among the most famous is the Olimpia delle Tofane piste, a stage for the World Cup. For non-skiers, there are snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, and scenic mountain huts.
In summer, the valley welcomes hikers, climbers, and cyclists with trails through forests, pastures, and iconic peaks like the 5 Torri, the Lagazuoi, the Nuvolau, and the Croda da Lago. The Dolomiti Cycling Path, following the old railway, connects Cortina to Dobbiaco and Cadore through tunnels and unique views.
Not to miss are the lakes of Sorapis, Federa, Ghedina, and Pianozes, perfect for relaxing moments in nature. Spectacular huts like Nuvolau, Lagazuoi, and Scoiattoli offer unforgettable panoramas.
Corso Italia, the pedestrian heart of Cortina, is the ideal place to experience its most elegant side: luxury boutiques, historic cafés, and refined venues welcome visitors in a warm and lively atmosphere.
