Without any doubt, Cortina is the most renowned and eminent Italian ski resort; its name stayed preserved across time, partly thanks to the Wold Cup Games hosted there every year on Olympia delle Tofane slope. James Bond, too, was here during one of his films. Now, it surely remains the trendiest resort in Italian Alps. It lies in the wide, sunny Ampezzo Valley, the Dolomites forming its crown, and offers wonderful slopes located in three different ski resorts: Tofane, Faloria – Cristallo – Mietrez, and Lagazuoi – 5 Torri.

Among the black slopes, we recommend Forcella Rossa, Staunies and the legendary Canale Staunies; among the red slopes, we recommend Armentarola and Olympia; and Tofanina among the blue slopes. With the Valley ski pass, you can ski on every slope in Auronzo – Misurina ski resort, San Vito di Cadore, and Cortina, for an amount of 140 Km of slopes in Dolomiti Superski ski area.
