Overview of Cortina D'Ampezzo
Cortina is known as 'The Queen of the Dolomites'. This small mountain town in the Ampezzo valley at 1,220m has a history steeped in tourism, mountaineering and of course, skiing - including being the host of the 1956 winter games. Often associated with glitz and glamour, you might well catch a glimpse of a celebrity or two on the streets or slopes.
But don't let the allure of people watching distract you from the real reason to visit - the skiing. From the centre of town, hop on the Cortine-Mandres cable car to access the slopes of Faloria - an area of gloriously cruisy blues and reds. Cortina's largest ski area is Socrepes, which links with the neighbouring village of Tofana and features easy-accessed, equally agreeable blue and red pistes.
