Cortina Ski Resort

Cortina, known as the Pearl of the Dolomites, is a world-famous winter resort that rivals any other in the Alps. Magnificently situated in a sunny amphitheater, it is ringed by spectacular peaks which rise nearly 2000 meters above the village. The local skiing is extensive and varied and other resorts such as S.Cassiano and Corvara in the Dolomiti Superski area are easily reached from the Falzarego pass. Cortina has offered a complete range of winter sports facilities since hosting the Olympic Games in 1956 and also offers numerous activities for the non skier.
