Possibly Italy’s chicest skiing destination, Cortina is a quaint mountain town in the Dolomites surrounded by soaring cathedrals of sandstone. The picturesque town centre has helped earn the town its reputation for over a century, making it popular with celebrities, and the jet set. Michelin starred restaurants and luxury hotels punctuate the pretty village, though the hottest tables are at the houses of those old Italian families who have been coming to Cortina and throwing legendary parties for decades. Cortina’s 115km of marked slopes best suit intermediates and experts. There is a handful of tricky black runs, plus countless off-piste opportunities in good snow conditions.
