Visit Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy: What to See & Do

Cortina d’Ampezzo is a ski resort town and municipality in the Italian province of Belluno in the region Veneto. Cortina’s claim to fame was hosting the 1956 Winter Olympics, an honor it will soon repeat in 2026

Situated in Ampezzo Valley and encircled by the Tofane, Sorapiss, Cristallo and Croda da Lago mountains, picturesque Cortina d’Ampezzo is an ideal base for sightseeing, hiking, and skiing in the Italian Dolomites.

In summer and autumn, base yourself in Cortina for at least 5 days in order to visit the dreamy lakes of Lago Federa, Lago di Sorapis, Lago d’Antorno, and Lago Misurina, the panoramic plateau of Mondeval, the cinematic mountain pass of Passo Giau, and the historic World War I destinations of Cinque Torri, the Lagazuoi Tunnels, and Monte Piana.

In winter, Cortina d’Ampezzo is a bustling ski resort, located within the Dolomiti Superski network. Stay in Cortina a minimum of 4 nights in order to ski in the three main areas of the resort. Add more time if you want to ski the Hidden Valley trail.

Where is Cortina d’Ampezzo

Cortina d'Ampezzo, Dolomites

Cortina d’Ampezzo is located in the center of Ampezzo Valley, which is the upper part of Boite Valley (Valle Boite). 

The town is situated north of Cadore, south of Puster Valley (Val Pusteria/Pustertal), west of Val d’Ansiei, and east of Agordo. 

Cortina d’Ampezzo sits on the crossroads of SS51 (Strada Statale 51 di Alemagna) and SR48  (Strada statale 44 delle Dolomiti / strada regionale 48).


1. Explore Cortina’s Town Center

Cortina d’Ampezzo’s town center is elegant and lively, unfolding around the pedestrian-friendly Corso Italia, a boulevard where designer storefronts, chic cafés, and Dolomite views create the town’s signature charm. 

One of Cortina’s defining landmarks is its 18th century parish church, Basilica Minore dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo, with its slender, pale-green clock tower rising above the rooftops. Inside, you’ll find frescoes by Tyrolean painter Franz Anton Zeiller and elaborate altars. 

The town center is also home to the Mario Rimoldi Modern Art Museum, which contains an impressive collection of 20th-century Italian art, including works by Filippo De Pisis, Giorgio Morandi, Pio Semeghini, and Ottone Rosai.

Between sightseeing stops, Cortina’s town center is the perfect place to enjoy an espresso, or aperitivo. For pastries and coffee, head to Pasticceria Alverà. For pizza, I recommend 5 Torri Pizzeria. For a no-fuss snack, I like the specialty shop and café Le Eccellenze di Esselunga Cortina located on Via Cesare Battisti (Google Maps). And for Ampezzo cuisine and excellent service, I recommend HOTEL de LËN

If you want to stay right in the heart of Cortina, these standout hotels deliver the best experience: 4-star HOTEL de LËN (read our Hotel de Len review), newly renovated 5-star Ancora Cortina, and 4-star Ambra Cortina Luxury&Fashion Hotel.

For a photo of the Cortina d’Ampezzo Olympic Rings backed by the Tofane group, walk to Piazza Roma, located along Via Cesare Battisti (Google Maps).


2. Savor Ampezzo Alpine Cuisine

El Brite de Larieto

The family-run El Brite de Larieto is a farm restaurant tucked away in a larch forest near Rio Gere. The cuisine is rooted in “agriturismo” tradition, meaning much of what you eat comes directly from the family’s own farm and dairy, Agriturismo El Brite.

This gives the dishes a purity and character you don’t often find: cheeses made on-site, butter that tastes like the mountain pastures, and herbs gathered nearby. The kitchen, led by chef Riccardo Gaspari, blends Alpine comfort food with modern finesse.

We stopped at El Brite de Larieto when we set out on the Crepe de Zumeles Circuit Trail. Learn from our mistake: save this meal for after the hike, not before


Al Camin

Located on the road to Passo Tre Croci, Ristorante Al Camin is one of Cortina’s most reliable spots for a relaxed yet refined dinner. Fabio Pompanin’s kitchen focuses on well-executed Alpine and Italian classics, with carefully-sourced ingredients from trusted local farmers and mountain pastures. Game is strictly local.

The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and pleasantly unpretentious. We loved the roast duck and speck-wrapped beef tenderloin.


More Cortina d’Ampezzo Restaurants | For casual dining, we recommend Ristorante Pizzeria 5 Torri (our favorite pizzeria in Cortina), Restaurant Pizzeria Al Passetto, Ristorante Pizzeria Il Ponte, Ristorante La Tavernetta, and Ristorante Da Beppe Sello. For fine dining, consider Ristorante Tivoli.

3. Ski in the Cortina d’Ampezzo Ski Resort

Sauna, Hotel de Len, Cortina d'Ampezzo Town Center, Dolomites
HOTEL de LËN

Between December and March, travelers from all over the world descend to Cortina d’Ampezzo for their ski holiday. 

The Cortina ski resort, part of the Dolomiti Superski network, encompasses 120 km of ski slopes across three main areas: Tofana ski area, Faloria-Critallo ski area, and Cinque Torri – Lagazuoi. The ski areas around San Vito di Cadore and Misurina are also part of the Cortina ski resort.

When planning a ski trip to Cortina d’Ampezzo, it’s important to keep in mind that the resort is quite fragmented. Either stay in the town center, walking distance to the Faloria cable car, or in an accommodation with a ski shuttle service like Hotel de Len (town center), Camina Suite & Spa (north of the town center), Hotel Lajadira & Spa (south of the town center), or Faloria Mountain Spa Resort (south of the town center). 

For a ski-in ski-out experience, stay in the 5-star Hotel Tofana Cortina, which offers an in-house ski rental service, a shuttle service, a beautiful spa, and an on-site restaurant. The charming, 3-star Ciasa Vervei in Pocol also boasts a direct connection to the ski slopes.

4. Hike in the Dolomites

Cadini di Misurina, Dolomites

The prime hiking season in Cortina d’Ampezzo runs from late June through late September. However, when conditions permit, the season may continue until the end of October.

If you’re traveling without a car, it’s best to visit Cortina d’Ampezzo in high summer (July, August, or early September), when there are more bus connections. Outside of the summer holiday season, it’s very difficult to get around Cortina d’Ampezzo without your own vehicle.

Starting in late June, managed mountain huts (Rifugi) open up their doors, welcoming hikers with warm meals and beds. If you’re keen on hut-to hut hiking in the Dolomites, take a look at these self-guided routes around Cortina d’Ampezzo: 4-Day Alta Via 1 North, 4-Day Alta Via 1 Central, 5-Day West Best of the Dolomites and the 4-Day East Best of the Dolomites.

For guided and self-guided Alta Via 1 treks, I recommend booking with Adventure Base, an excellent hiking and mountaineering operator based in the Alps. They are offering a special perk just for our readers, which you can claim by filling out this inquiry form, or by using the coupon code MOONANDHONEY at checkout.

The best hikes around Cortina d’Ampezzo do not require any cableways. Nonetheless, you can take advantage of these lifts in summer.


Sorapiss Group Hikes

Lago di Sorapis Circuit Trail is a 13.2 km circular trail starting at Passo Tre Croci, east of Cortina d’Ampezzo. The trail leads to the famous milky-turquoise Sorapis Lake along narrow secured ledges and forest paths. Because most travelers hike this trail out-and-back, it can get very congested. I highly recommend hiking the more interesting circular route to Forcella Marcuóira, if you’re confident descending deep and slippery scree slopes.


Tofane Group Hikes

Tofana di Roses Circuit Trail is an 11.9 km circular trail around the magnificent Tofana di Rozes mountain in the Ampezzo Dolomites. This is my favorite hike in Cortina d’Ampezzo!!! It begins at Rifugio Dibona, west of Cortina d’Ampezzo, and circuits the massif in a clockwise direction.


Croda da Lago – Pelmo UNESCO World Heritage Site Hikes

Croda da Lago Circuit Trail wraps around the Croda da Lago mountain chain, starting at the Ponte de Ru Curto trailhead near Pocol. This varied 13.1 km circular trail lead to Lago Federa and Rifugio Croda da Lago before climbing up to Forcella Ambrizzola, at the edge of the Mondeval plateau. After ascending to Forcella de Formin, the trail drops down a rugged high valley defined by boulder fields and scree.

Passo Giau to Mondeval is a moderate out-and-back hike starting at Passo Giau. This hike leads to the sprawling bowl-shaped Mondeval plateau, located in the UNESCO System Pelmo – Croda da Lago. Highlights of this trail are the views of Lastoni di Formin, Croda da Lago, and Mount Pelmo, the Lago delle Baste photo spot, and the archeological burial site of Mondeval de Sora.


Sexten Dolomites Hikes

Tre Cime di Lavaredo Circuit Trail is a gorgeous, but extremely busy, hiking path that circuits the famous Three Peaks of the Sexten Dolomites. This 9.7 km trail commences at Rifugio Auronzo, accessible by both bus and car, at the top of the Auronzo toll road. New regulations mandate that drivers must pre-book toll road access.

Cadini di Misurina Viewpoint is one of the most impressive vistas in the Alps. This short 3.7 km out-and-back hike starts at Rifugio Auronzo and can be completed before or after hiking the Tre Cime di Lavaredo circuit trail.

Sentiero Bonacossa North Trail is a secured and exposed path that traverses the Cadini Group of the Sexten Dolomites. Adventurous sure-footed hikers who have no fear of heights will love this route! It’s unforgettable and it’s the best way to take in the famous Cadini di Misurina viewpoint.


Nuvolau-Averau Group Hikes

Tofane di Rozes, Ampezzo Dolomites, Cortina d'Ampezzo

Rifugio Nuvolau and Cinque Torri Hike is a circular route that strings together Lago di Lìmedes, Rifugio Averau, Rifugio Nuvolau, and Cinque Torri, tracing a section of the Alta Via 1. It doesn’t utilize the 5 Torri chairlift. Of all the hikes around Cortina d’Ampezzo, this is my least favorite, because of the ski infrastructure.

5. Experience the Fall Colors Around Cortina

Cortina d'Ampezzo Autumn, Dolomites

Our favorite time to visit Cortina d’Ampezzo is autumn, when the mountainsides erupt into fiery shades of orange, gold, and yellow, thanks to the larch forests that blanket the Cortina basin.

Furthermore, hiking trails are relatively quiet, traffic is minimal, and parking is easy to find.

The downside of visiting in fall is that most mountain huts, alpine pasture huts (Baita, Malga), and restaurants around Cortina d’Ampezzo are closed. You’ll see Chiuso/Chiusa (“closed”) signs posted everywhere.

Luckily, Rifugio Croda da Lago at Lago Federa stays open until late October, or early November, depending on snow conditions. Several mountain huts on the Sennes Plateau like Rifugio Fondara Vedla and Rifugio Sennes also stay open through October.

With the exception of the Lagazuoi cable car, most cableways stop operating by late September. Luckily, the best trails around Cortina d’Ampezzo don’t require the use of a cableway. But, a rental car is essential in navigating to various trailheads and attractions.

6. Visit the Rifugios
