The Skiers' Guide to Cortina d'Ampezzo

Amazing resort and beautiful scenario. Not cheap but lots to do. The runs are amazing, frozen waterfalls and very well groomed.

Great skiing vast area. Lovely restaurant on the mountain. The town is very posh lots of high end shops to many people to impress I prefer a homely feeling .

Cortina D’Ampezzo offered a combination of incredible skiing as well as great accommodation, food and reasonable prices. The area around Cortina was truely beautiful as well the town itself representing Cortina’s grandeur and class. The ski runs were well groomed and there was a great variety of runs for different levels as well the opportunity to explore with three different ski zones an the chance to go to other resorts such as Alta Badia if you buy the dolomiti super ski pass.

Had a very enjoyable time skiing here. Was very easy to also get a bus around to different local areas to ski. The workers are so friendly and the slope conditions were amazing. Would highly recommend and definitely go back.

A very well kept ski resort with no ques at any of the ski lifts. Very beautiful area to explore. Skiing conditions are good as they use machines to keep up with the snow on the piste.

Lovely beautiful friendly and fun.

Excellent ski conditions, very good food everywhere! Restaurants on the hills were excellent. No line ups in Jan 2026 to ski the chairlifts.

Excellent ski conditions leading up to the Olympics. Well groomed long runs with lots of options across the hills.

Visited in December 2025 for my birthday. Very limited snow but was possible to get cable car up to a couple of areas which were mostly red runs. Great food options

It was really good as it is relatively cheap compared to France and Switzerland. The only thing is we took a bus to the resort

There wasn't much snow therefore only blue and red runs open. They had good snow making on the slopes which were open however it was very icy by the afternoon. Ski lessons are very expensive but you can find cheap food and drinks in town so it wasn't too bad for price overall.

As a beginner skier who hadn’t been in a long time, I found Cortina a great option for lots of blue runs to help build my confidence. Not any green runs but the blues had a few easier options.

Lots of good food and drinks options around the mountain.

The patrol team were very present and helped when needed.

I did one hour of private ski school which helped a lot but not many group lesson options.

Lovely village, upscale, great food options. Easy access to great runs. Not the best placed resort for the Sella Ronda.

A brilliant holiday, great skiing, amazing value for money and very quiet slopes and lifts. Highly recommend.

Very expensive millionaires skiing - quiet slops.

Great for couples or adults groups - not kid friendly

Stunning landscape, great food, a great place to ski off piste and inside. The facilities in an excellent quality. Weekends is pretty overcrowded but I believe is normal. Also, best place for shopping

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!!

Absolutely loved Cortina. Spectacular views and runs. Went toward the end of January and was very quiet. Runs to ourselves a lot of the time however this dampened the apres vibe a lot.Thoroughly recommend if youre looking for a chill ski experience.
