Overview
Located inside the Dolomite Super ski area, Cortina d'Ampezzo is a famous ski resort town in northern Italy. The 1956 Olympic Winter games were held in Cortina and can still be visited. These include the the Ice Stadium, the Eugenio Monti bobsleigh run and the disused ski jump Trampolino Olimpico Italia. The Tofane area is the site of a Women’s Ski World Cup race and Cortina Snow Park for jumps and tricks.
