Book: Cortina d'Ampezzo

Cortina d’Ampezzo, the jewel of the Italian Alps, has long attracted lovers of adventure and old-world charm. Its modern history began with its meteoric rise in the 20th century, when it established itself as the ‘Queen of the Dolomites’. Cortina then made its mark on the international stage with the 1956 Winter Olympics, a decisive turning point. Ever since, its slopes have welcomed royalty, film stars and Alpine legends, captivating visitors with their pink-hued peaks, which are both breathtaking and picturesque. In summer, the snow gives way to flower-filled meadows and the mountains become a playground for walkers, mountaineers and cyclists. But don’t be fooled by its sporting prowess: Cortina also knows how to make the most of après-ski. The cold doesn’t stop skiers from partying at the foot of the Dolomites or dancing in one of the town’s many bars and clubs. Cortina is much more than just a mountain; It is a haven of peace away from home, steeped in Ladin heritage, Alpine cuisine and the chic boutiques of Corso Italia. Size & Fit: 25 × 33 × 4 cm.
