Cortina d'Ampezzo
Host of the 2026 Winter Olympics, and the most stylish town in the Dolomites. The skiing is scattered across separate areas and modest in size for the price — you come for the setting.
Worth knowing. Scattered across separate areas, and small for the price.
Pre-season — snow reliability. There is no meaningful snow on the models yet, so resorts are ranked on how snow-sure they are: altitude adjusted for latitude, glacier cover and the size of the ski area. Live scoring resumes automatically once the snow arrives. How we rank
