Cortina Ski Resort Guide
Set in the magnificent Dolomites, Cortina is a very picturesque resort. There are over 1,200km of piste available throughout the Dolomite SuperSki pass but there are few runs worthy of the expert tag. Cortina resort is squarely aimed at the intermediate and beginner and there are some great nursery slopes. The extended area is not the easiest to navigate and some bus rides are needed in order to access some ski regions. Off the slopes, Cortina is full of Italian chic, but you have to pay inflated prices for most things as a result of the image. Cortina is a place to be seen, so break out the fur coat (fake fur of course - we love animals) and pose. A fair percentage of Italian visitors don't even bother to go skiing, they would rather shop, chat and drink coffee. At night the town stays awake but if you plan to party, then take lots of money with you as it isn't cheap.

Visitor Reviews of Cortina
Nerys Roberts from United Kingdom writes:
Cortina is really underrated, I think. The slopes are usually quiet, as this is predominantly an Italian resort so no early starts (!) and many of the clientel don't even ski. Absolutely great for beginners thanks to slopes at Socrepes and Lacedel. Sure, the areas are spread out but the ski-bus worked fine when we were there - and that was Feb half-term. Next time we are taking a car though.
