Ski area Cortina d'Ampezzo
With the unique "Skitour Olympia", you can reach, e.g. all peaks and high points of the 1956 Olympic games. Unforgettable panoramas and runs ensure pure ski enjoyment. You can enjoy the daring pistes between bizarre rocks on Tofana and the Olympia con Pomedes valley run to Rumerlo. You can find varied pistes below Trofana at Pocol and between Col Druscie, Pomedes and Ra Valles, with easy ski meadows and steep runs. Those looking for a challenge should try the steep chute under the wild Forcella Staunies at the Cristallo lifts.
For snowboarders there is a snow park with quarter pipe, tables, slides, jumps, half-pipe and boarder cross at the Faloria mountain station.
Rules of conduct on ski pistes in Italy
To ensure safety on the ski slopes in Italy, stricter safety regulations have been in force since 2022. In order to use the ski areas, everyone must have liability insurance that covers damage to third parties. It will also be possible to take out this insurance on site for individual days. Drunken skiing is prohibited and punishable by heavy fines, with a maximum of 0.5 mg of alcohol per litre of blood. To reduce the risk of injury, helmets are also compulsory for all minors when skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing.
Après ski Cortina d'Ampezzo
A day free of skiing can be spent on the olympic ice rinks, curling, in the indoor pool on the tobbogan run or ice climbing. The social scene wanders into the discos and bars in the evening, where with a bit of luck you can party into the early morning hours with Italian high society!
Snowpark: Cortina Snowpark Cortina d'Ampezzo
The ski area Tofana definitely makes a statement with the Cortina snow park when it comes to freestyle. No matter whether you're standing on one or two boards - no one will be disappointed here. 500 m of length are filled with various obstacles, divided into two categories, which are lined up behind each other and offer great conditions for beginners, as well as intermediates. Via the park's own 4-person chair lift, the kickers, rails, and boxes etc., where you can show off your skills, can be easily reached.
The slightly smaller option, with e.g. kicker with 1 - 6 m tables, a box and a ground rail, forms the beginner line, which is perfectly constructed to make your first freestyle moves. The medium line begins with a super kinked box with an area of 4 m, as well as a 4 m decline and then transitions into the pro line with various spectacular obstacles, such as a tree bonk with peak. There is something available for freestylers of all levels of skill!
