Cortina d'Ampezzo with your family: the simplicity of being together.
Living Cortina as a family is an opportunity to discover how simple it is to be together. And being well.
When you rest peacefully and wake up surrounded by nature. When the air is fresh and the water tastes pure. When food is simply what it is, without any pretension.
Cortina with your family is just like that, simple and genuine, healthy and beautiful. Discovering how butter is made in an alpine hut with your children and appreciating the first flowers of spring are priceless moments.
Seeing the stars sparkle and the moon meet the sun in a clear sky are experiences not always possible everywhere, but in Cortina, they are. Slowing down to enjoy these moments with your loved ones is truly special.
Even watching your little ones catch snowflakes as they fall from winter-laden clouds creates memories that remain etched in your heart.
Just like the thrill of seeing them ride on dirt trails with their little bikes or take on their first ski runs.
Cortina with your family is an unforgettable experience that brings together in wonder and simplicity.
What activities can you do with your family in Cortina?
Have you ever thought of having a picnic with locally grown products from Cortina, with flavors perfectly crafted by a renowned Michelin-starred chef, while lounging on meadows with views of the Dolomites? You can also visit the barns and see the animals: cows, calves, goats, and chickens.
You might be familiar with some Dolomite fairy tales, but did you know that some can be read in the “libraries in the woods”? These are simple yet beautiful wooden structures, resembling large hollowed-out logs with shelves, created by the Regole d’Ampezzo and placed in easily accessible locations (we know them all) that you can reach on foot. Just pick a book, sit among the trees, and read together while listening to the sounds of nature: once you’re done, place the book back for the next reader to enjoy.
Even the time spent in a cable car, ascending the Dolomite peaks, can turn into an adventure. Grabbing a bike or putting on skis can become a moment of pure joy, challenging yourselves together.
And what about the pleasure of taking a break at a mountain hut after a hike through blooming meadows? Truly a memory for the whole family to cherish.
This is just a taste of family activities in Cortina, but the choice is truly unique and the impression, at times, is that the limit is only the imagination.
