‘Cortina d’Ampezzo’ book – The Classics Collection

Cortina d’Ampezzo, a jewel of the Italian Alps, has long attracted those looking for both adventure and old-world charm. Its modern history begins with its rise of glamour in the twentieth century as a “Regina delle Dolomiti”. Cortina then rose to world prominence with the 1956 Winter Olympics, after which there was no return. Since then its slopes have welcomed royalty, movie stars and mountaineering legends, attracting visitors with its pink peaks, exciting and scenic. In summer, snow gives way to flowery meadows of wild flowers and the mountains become a playground for hikers, mountaineers and cyclists.
Don’t be fooled by its athletic prowess: Cortina knows how to have fun after a day of skiing. The cold does not prevent the crowds of skiers from partying under the Dolomites or dancing in one of the many nightclubs in the city. Cortina is more than a mountain: it is a home away from home, with its Ladin heritage, Alpine cuisine and the chic boutiques of Corso Italia. Seventy years after its first foray into hosting world-class competitions, Cortina is preparing to co-host the 2026 Winter Olympics, further consolidating its place in history as a timeless destination in Italy.
Cortina d’Ampezzo embodies the spirit of this iconic destination through evocative images and stories. This travel book celebrates all that Cortina has to offer, tracing a portrait of classic elegance in the heart of the Italian Alps.
