Cortina Ski Resort Guide

 

About the Resort

The skiing at this resort definately takes second place to parading around in the latest fashions. It is a top destination for well off Italians who have second homes here.

The resort is more like a town than a village and the centre is traffic free. The two main lifts to the slopes are far from the centre and on opposite sides of the town.

90% of the slopes are now catered for with snowmaking facilites. The expert may not find enough to keep them occupied for too long as there are really only two main runs. Intermediates will have to keep themselves occupied with the same slopes albeit very beautifuly located. The resort has extensive cross country runs suited to all abilities. Beginners are also fully catered for and will enjoy the gentle terrain.

Après Ski at Val Cenis

A good selection of interesting eateries, some are further out. The apres ski is vibrant and stylish.
