Cortina d'Ampezzo ski area overview:

Cortina d'Ampezzo, often referred to as the "Queen of the Dolomites," is one of Italy's premier ski resorts, nestled in the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Dolomite mountains. Known for its breathtaking scenery and excellent winter sports infrastructure, Cortina is a top destination for skiers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. However, like any resort, it has both positive and negative aspects worth considering.

One of the standout features of skiing in Cortina is the sheer beauty of the Dolomites. The jagged, pink-hued peaks create a dramatic backdrop that enhances the overall skiing experience. The resort offers around 120 kilometers of ski runs, catering to various skill levels, with a particularly strong offering for intermediate and advanced skiers. Off-piste options and the Dolomiti Superski pass, which connects Cortina with 11 other ski areas, provide extensive skiing opportunities. The area is also known for its chic après-ski culture, with high-end boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and luxury accommodations.

Cortina also boasts a rich history, having hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics and set to co-host the 2026 Games, which adds a sense of prestige to the resort. Its proximity to Venice and other cultural sites makes it appealing for travelers seeking more than just skiing.

One of the downsides is that Cortina can be expensive, particularly when it comes to accommodation and dining. It attracts a luxury clientele, which may not suit those on a budget. Additionally, the ski area, while scenic, is somewhat fragmented, requiring the use of ski buses or cars to access all parts of the resort. This can be inconvenient, especially compared to more integrated ski resorts.

Moreover, the lift infrastructure, while being upgraded for the 2026 Olympics, has been criticized as outdated in some areas, with slower chairlifts compared to other top-tier European resorts.

In summary, skiing in Cortina d'Ampezzo offers an exquisite blend of stunning scenery, quality skiing, and Italian sophistication, but its high prices and fragmented layout might not appeal to all travelers.
