Cortina
A stylish Italian town set in the heart of the Dolomites, offering a varied ski area with terrain for all abilities with spectacular mountain views in every direction
Overview
Cortina offers something for every level, from wide nursery areas and gentle blue runs to steeper reds and blacks, making it ideal for mixed-ability groups. The scenery is outstanding, with wooded pistes dropping into the valley and the dramatic pink-tinged Dolomite peaks framing every direction. With many Italian visitors drawn more to the social scene than the skiing, the slopes are often quieter than elsewhere in the region.
Known as the Queen of the Dolomites, Cortina attracts a stylish weekend crowd, giving it a distinctly authentic Italian atmosphere. The main street is lined with boutiques, bars and cafés, all set beneath a Romanesque bell tower and cobbled piazza. Evenings can be as relaxed or lively as you like, from wine-bar terraces to gentle strolls through town. Accommodation ranges from luxury hotels to more affordable, family-run stays.
Beyond the slopes, there’s plenty to explore, including 300+ shops offering fashion, ski gear and local crafts. For something more active, snowshoeing in the Ampezzo Nature Reserve offers a peaceful way to experience the surrounding landscape.
