Cortina lies in the Ampezzo valley at about 1,200 metres, in a wide bowl of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain range. Peaks such as the Tofane, Cristallo and Pomagagnon surround the town, which has long been called the Queen of the Dolomites. Until 1918 it belonged to Austria, and the Ladin language is still spoken in the valley.
The pedestrian centre has a slender bell tower, boutiques and the Mario Rimoldi museum of modern art. Cable cars lift to Tofana and Faloria, a chairlift serves the Cinque Torri, five rock towers beside First World War trenches, and the Lagazuoi cable car leads to tunnels dug in the war. Lake Misurina and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo lie to the north-east, and the Falzarego and Giau passes cross the mountains.
Casunziei, half-moon ravioli filled with beetroot and topped with poppy seeds and butter, are the dish of the valley, with polenta, venison and mountain cheeses. Apple strudel and hot chocolate follow a day on the slopes. Snow arrives in winter, and summer brings hikers between the mountain huts.
