Luxury holidays in Cortina d'Ampezzo
A popular Dolomite playground for Milanese millionaires, Cortina d’Ampezzo is a snow-capped comune in the Veneto, near the Austrian border, for skiing, strolling (technically scaling) and, er, shopping. It may be a small town, but it has big brands, second homes and several celebrated restaurants, from farmhouses in larch forests to family-run trattorias and fine-dining with altitude. Along with the Ladin culture, visitors can enjoy the majestic Alpine backdrop, with turquoise lakes, waterfalls and canyons worth trekking for.
When to go
If you’re coming for the piste, ski season runs from November to April – but the mountains are ready for adrenaline-junkie-approved adventures all year round.
