Cortina d'Ampezzo

Cortina d’Ampezzo: The Unrivalled Alpine Icon

Cortina d’Ampezzo stands apart—a peerless alpine destination where a storied social scene, the dramatic landscapes of the Dolomites, and the vast Dolomiti Superski area converge. It is the chosen sanctuary for Olympians and icons, for seasoned adventurers and families with a taste for the exceptional.

A legacy forged by the 1956 Winter Olympics continues today with world-class sporting events. The local ski area offers 140 km of pristine pistes across three distinct sectors, connected by a complimentary ski bus. Your single ski pass is a key to a grander domain: the 1,200 km of varied terrain that define the Dolomiti Superski megaregion. Cortina’s position, set apart from the immediate circuit of the Sella Ronda, grants it an air of exclusive seclusion.

The Dolce Villa Perspective: Resort & Location

Nestled in the Boite river valley and cradled by snow-dusted peaks, the town of Cortina offers a singular spectacle: the sight of the rose-tinted Dolomites at sunset, viewed directly from the central piazza. Its sophisticated infrastructure, gastronomic excellence, luxury hotels, and the chic boutiques lining Corso Italia have rightfully earned Cortina its place in the prestigious "Best of the Alps" club. Dolce Villa’s curated properties are situated in the most coveted locations—from private streets with exclusive chalets to serene areas that feel a world away from the main promenade.

Wander the narrow lanes of the historic centre, where timeless charm emanates from centuries-old buildings and the church square, its bell tower set against a backdrop of soaring peaks. The vibrant Corso Italia invites you to explore its gleaming windows of fashion houses, jewellers, and art galleries, ensuring every need, from souvenirs to equipment, is met with effortless style.

Dining & Apres-Ski

Cortina’s culinary scene is defined by its impeccable service and a focus on regional provenance. Menus are a refined tribute to Tyrolean, Venetian, and Mediterranean traditions. In season, a sophisticated selection of apres-ski bars and patisseries beckon with irresistible pastries, desserts, and expertly crafted cocktails.

Experiences Beyond the Slopes

A Dolce Villa stay unlocks all of Cortina’s dimensions. Trade your skis for skates at the Olympic Ice Stadium, unwind at the state-of-the-art sports centre with its pools, or indulge in a restorative spa treatment. A network of cleared walking paths and cross-country skiing trails encircles the resort, while numerous mountain restaurants—easily accessible by lift—offer panoramic dining. For younger guests, dedicated parks and themed ski areas bring the magic of the mountains to life.
