Traveling to and skiing in Italy is fun – the ambiance, the skiing the food and the

people all make it unforgettable.  Today we are going to the Dolomite region of Italy- two hours north of Venice.  The most celebrated ski town in the Dolomites is Cortina d’Ampezzo – Cortina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with great on and off-piste skiing in some of Europe's most spectacular mountain scenery. Cortina will also be the host resort of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

 

From my time in the region, Cortina is no different just add in visions of huge rock formations, beautiful ski runs, ski tours and amazing food.  However, Cortina is just the tip of the iceberg here - the entirety of the Dolomites is a huge ski region that gives a skier the ability to ski from town to town.  This is the Dolomiti SuperSki with 15 resorts from Cortina to Alta Badia to Val Gardena and others that comprise some of the most celebrated mountains in Europe.

 

Cortina – on its own it has four ski areas with skiing for all levels of skier.  With 120 km of runs in Cortina and fabulous hotels, restaurants and other activities in town, this is a great place to start or base yourself.
