More about Cortina Dampezzo
The Resort
The skiing in Cortina is spread across three distinct, spectacular ski areas: Tofana, Faloria-Cristallo, and the Lagazuoi-Cinque Torri sector. While it does not offer full ski-in-ski-out convenience between all sectors, the sheer quality of the pistes and the breathtaking scenery more than make up for the short bus or car rides.
With access to the massive Dolomiti Superski network, skiers can explore seemingly endless terrain. The local slopes are impeccably groomed, leaning heavily toward confident beginners and cruising intermediates, though expert skiers can test their mettle on iconic World Cup downhill tracks like the Olympia delle Tofane.
On the Mountain
The skiing is incredibly scenic and split across three main areas, characterized by impeccably groomed red and blue cruising runs. Highlights include the dramatic Hidden Valley run from Lagazuoi and the steep, thrilling Women's World Cup downhill course on Tofana.
Dolomiti Superski
A vast UNESCO World Heritage network spanning 12 distinct ski areas in the Italian Dolomites, offering 1,200km of pistes on a single lift pass.
