The Skiers' Guide to Cortina d'Ampezzo

Cortina is going to be the home of the 2026 Winter Olympics, and therefore has good infrastructure and lots of great skiing available. The slopes were well kept given that there was no snowfall during the week I was there, and there are lots of black/ red slopes. Towards the end of the day the snow turned fairly slushy closer to the town. In terms of apres ski, there was not a large selection of bars to choose from and the bars that were open were not particularly busy. The skiing and hotel were great (hotel Serena), and there is lots of shops and restaurants throughout the town. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely return at some point.

Lovely resort with breathtaking scenery. Great choice of runs from long easy blues to tricker reds and a few blacks. Lots of refreshment stops around, good lift system and Cortina is now linked to the hidden valley by a new gondola. Great spot.

Cortina DAmpezzo is probably one of, if not the best ski resort I have ever skied at. I came in the second last week of January and it was perfect. There was a bit less snow than I hoped but this didnt take away from the experience at all. The slopes were quiet enough, although they did get t bush at times but didnt ruin the skiing whatsoever - it was still fairly quiet at its busiest points. The runs were beautiful, long, and had a really good range of blues, blacks and reds that were all incredibly enjoyable to ski. The town is beautiful and the ski rental is so efficient and great worth for money. I would highly recommend Cortina DAmpezzo!!
