Just as Jacuzzi is the king of wellness, Cortina d’Ampezzo is the indisputable queen of the Dolomites.

Cortina is synonymous with luxury, beauty, wealth and nature, and has everything you could need. This Italian resort in Veneto has become world famous for hosting the 1956 Olympic Games: Toni Sailer dominated the Alpine ski races and won in all three specialties of the time (downhill, slalom and giant slalom).
The centennial fame of Cortina is mainly due to its unique charm and enchanting snow-capped mountains and the magnificent ski slopes, the most challenging of the Dolomites. As of the end of the ’56 Olympics d’Ampezzo was bombarded by thousands of tourists from all over Italy, Europe and the world.
The major infrastructure and building for sporting events for the Olympics have been re-used with great profit for winter tourists. There are 34 ski lifts, of which 4 are regular lifts, 22 are chair lifts and 8 are ski lifts; much greater, however is the number of tracks, mostly concentrated in Tofana.
d’Ampezzo is in turn one of the most important parts of the largest and best-known Dolomiti Superski, the largest ski area in the world.
There are currently about 80 downhill slopes, including 2 green (beginner),  39 blue (low difficulty or medium-low),  30 red (medium difficulty or medium-high),  7 black (difficulty high or very high). On top of the mountains and at the end of the lifts are generally the so-called shelters, eateries of varying sizes within which skiers can warm up tasting the delightful dishes of the Ampezzo.
