With a 1000-year history and an incomparable setting at the heart of the Dolomites, it’s unsurprising that Cortina d'Ampezzo attracts skiers and snowboarders from around the world to sample its snow-covered slopes on a luxury ski holiday. Known as the ‘Queen of the Dolomites’, the resort’s 120km of ski slopes boast spectacular mountain views from every direction, whilst the town – easily spotted by the iconic church spires - features quietly bustling piazzas with small cafes, luxury shops and classic 18th-century buildings.
