Surrounded by some of the most iconic peaks in the Dolomites, Cortina d’Ampezzo combines world-class skiing, refined Alpine hospitality and a lively town centre. Discover everything you need to know about skiing and snowboarding in Cortina d’Ampezzo, from its iconic slopes to the different ski areas.
After welcoming people from all over the world for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the Queen of the Dolomites returns to its familiar winter rhythm—now enriched by renewed facilities, improved ski infrastructure and a sporting legacy that can be experienced throughout the resort.
From skiing on Olympic slopes to attending major international competitions, enjoying gourmet lunches in mountain huts and unwinding in panoramic spas, the new season offers countless ways to experience Cortina.
The first lift and slope openings are expected between late November and early December 2026, depending on weather and snow conditions. The main ski areas generally remain open until early or mid-April, while selected high-altitude slopes may continue operating later in the spring.
Cortina offers approximately 120 kilometres of slopes across the Tofana, Faloria–Cristallo and Lagazuoi–5 Torri areas, with options for beginners, families and experienced skiers.
Opening dates and operating hours may vary between ski areas. Before setting out, check the latest information on the open lifts and slopes in Cortina.

Guests returning to Cortina will benefit from the investments and improvements completed in preparation for the 2026 Winter Games.
Among the most recent additions is the Lacedel–Socrepes gondola, a modern ten-passenger lift providing faster and more comfortable access to the Tofana ski area. The gondola replaces two older chairlifts and can carry up to 3,000 passengers per hour. Discover the new Lacedel–Socrepes gondola.
The 2026/27 season will also allow visitors to return to the celebrated Olympia delle Tofane, the iconic slope that hosted the women’s Alpine skiing competitions during Milano Cortina 2026 and continues to welcome the world’s leading athletes.
Further lift and slope updates will be added as soon as the official information for winter 2026/27 is released.
The Olympic flame may have moved on, but its legacy remains part of Cortina.
Visitors can ski on the slopes that hosted the world’s greatest athletes and discover the venues associated with Alpine skiing, curling, bobsleigh, skeleton and luge. Historic locations such as the Olympic Ice Stadium now stand alongside renewed sporting facilities, connecting the memories of the 1956 Winter Games with those of Milano Cortina 2026.
For an even more immersive experience, you can also step onto the ice and try curling for yourself. With the guidance of an expert instructor, you will learn the basic techniques and challenge your family, friends or colleagues in a fun and engaging activity inspired by one of Cortina’s most important Olympic disciplines.
The first post-Olympic winter is an opportunity to experience this heritage with fewer restrictions and rediscover Cortina as both an international sporting destination and an authentic mountain town.
More sporting, cultural and lifestyle appointments will be announced throughout the season.
Follow the Cortina events calendar for the latest updates.
