Cortina d' Ampezzo, the Dolomites Pearl

Cortina is located at the centre of the Ampezzo Vallery and surrounded by the Dolomites Alps, UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This small but pretty town is the paradise for mountain enthusiast. That's why it was chosen for Winter Olympics of 1956 and 2026. The elevation is 1224 m.
