Cortina d'Ampezzo

They call her the queen of the Dolomites, and the UNESCO peaks of the Tofane and Cinque Torri explain why. Cortina co-hosts the 2026 Winter Olympics, but its real currency is the long, sunlit lunch on a mountain terrace.

Get to know the resort

Cortina is as much a fashionable Italian town as a ski resort, with a pedestrian Corso made for window-shopping and aperitivo. The skiing is scattered across separate areas and best for cruising and scenery rather than mileage, but the Dolomite backdrop is simply unmatched.
