More about Venice
The Resort
Cortina d'Ampezzo is famously chic, drawing a stylish crowd who come as much for the incredible gastronomy, apertivo culture, and designer boutiques along the Corso Italia as for the snow. The skiing is spread across three spectacular, distinct mountains—Tofana, Faloria, and Cinque Torri—all offering breathtaking views of the pale limestone Dolomite peaks that glow pink in the evening light.
The resort features beautifully groomed pistes that cater heavily to intermediate and advanced skiers, including the legendary Olympia downhill course. As part of the massive Dolomiti Superski network, visitors have access to an astounding 1,200km of interconnected terrain, making it an ultimate destination for those looking to combine la dolce vita with world-class winter sports.
On the Mountain
The local terrain offers spectacular views of jagged Dolomite peaks with three main unlinked ski areas connected by bus. Skiers can enjoy immaculate grooming, wide sweeping red runs, and thrilling historic Olympic downhill tracks.
Dolomites (Veneto)
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic, pale limestone peaks, located in northeastern Italy and easily accessible from Venice.
