For most of our compatriots, the Italian Dolomites are an unknown and dark place. Half of them think that this entertainment is not cheap, and, moreover, it is seasonal - skiing, snowboard. Another has no idea where these Dolomites are and wonders why the Alps ended up in Italy, because in the advertisement they are in Switzerland.

People think in stereotypes, if summer means sea. And it doesn’t matter that this very summer on the beaches of Italy there is sometimes nowhere to throw a towel and lie down, everything is busy. Tell someone that you are planning to go on vacation to the mountains in July and not to the beach, they will think he is crazy.

For those who have already decided to visit the Alps in the summer, this article is a ready-made guide to the surroundings of Cortina d’Ampezzo; for everyone else, it is a reason to change your idea of ​​the mountains and vacation in general.

Cortina d'Ampezzo - how to get there

There is no airport here and there cannot be one, since this is a small town squeezed in on all sides mountain ranges. Whatever type of transport you use (car rental, train, bus), the most convenient way to get to Cortina is from Venice, which is located 150 km away.

Car rental, transfer from hotel

This is the easiest and most convenient way to travel from Venice to Cortina d’Ampezzo. A taxi will cost about 150 euros. A pre-booked transfer from the hotel is cheaper, around 100 euros.

You can rent a car. Everyone should be able to get from point A to point B using a navigator. I’ll say right away that you may only need a car to get to the city; there it’s no longer needed. Why will be discussed further.

By bus

The most budget and optimal option. Flights are operated by the company Atvo . Buses to Cortina d'Ampezzo depart from Venice Marco Polo Airport. You can buy tickets in advance using official website carrier. The cost one way is 25 euros.

In addition to Marco Polo Airport, the website indicates that you can board the bus at stops: directly in Venice at Piazzale Roma, and in Mestre (stop right next to railway station). There is a little trick here, in fact, from these stops you take the shuttles of this company to Marco Polo Airport, and there you change to a bus going directly to Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Attaching buses. It is better to look at it on the ticket purchase page, since in our case there was an additional flight that was not noted in the file.

By train

Since there is no direct train connection between Venice and Cortina d’Ampezzo, this option cannot be considered at all.

On the Subtleties of Tourism or any other resources, there are descriptions of how you can get to Dobbiaco and Calalzo di Cadore from Venice with three train changes, and then from these cities take a bus to Cortina. And this, in their opinion, is the only option. What sane person would go like that?

In such matters, trust people who have actually been to certain places, who have tried the route on personal experience, and not copywriters who print texts for money that they don’t understand anything about.

Cortina d'Ampezzo - where to stay

When choosing housing in Cortina, 2 criteria are important: close location to the bus station and ski lifts and availability good restaurant nearby for dinner in the evening. There are serious problems with food here. In the city there are at most a dozen restaurants, of which 3-5 are good. In the evening you can rarely come and just sit down at the table. You need to either pre-book or wait 30-40 minutes.

From this point of view it is ideal central part cities. It’s very tiny, you can get around it in about 20 minutes. From any hotel to the bus station or ski lift here, it’s no more than a 5-minute walk; 95% of all the city’s restaurants are located here. There is a supermarket, the only one in the city, where you can buy water and food before heading out into the mountains for the day.

The cost of a day in this area averages 100 - 150 euros. I have highlighted hotels in the city center on the map below.

Map of hotels and routes in Cortina d'Ampezzo

You can find cheaper housing further from the center. You will be able to save about 20-30 euros per night, but in this case you will have to walk 1-2 km each time to the station/lift and a normal restaurant or adapt to the city bus.

The water is just such a bright blue hue, there is no Photoshop here, like in other photos. A Russian person will definitely be concerned about the question of whether it is possible to swim here. It’s possible, but the water is icy, I think about 10 degrees.

Since we headed here after lunch, the sky was already gloomy and clouds were gathering. I'm not an expert local climate, but for all four full days spent here, the weather was like a carbon copy. Bright sun and cloudless sky until 1-2 pm. Then clouds begin to gather and in the evening or at night it always rains, sometimes with hail.

The last kilometer of the route to the waterfall is already ascending. It was not possible to photograph it in full size normally. The place is beautiful, the landscapes are radically different from the high-mountain meadows of Passo Giau, which we had visited a few hours earlier.

The only Italian resort included in the prestigious group of the best alpine resorts Best of the Alps is Cortina d'Ampezzo. This is truly luxury place, where people mainly come not to ski or snowboard, but to show off their status. The resort is an Italian benchmark of exclusivity and style, with a Dolce vita atmosphere. Here, beauties in fur coats walk along the snow-covered streets, and multimillion-dollar deals are concluded in expensive restaurants. In addition to luxury and style, the resort boasts excellent slopes, high mountains, beautiful views and good weather 360 days a year. It will be comfortable here for both professional skiers and snowboarders, and tourists who do not plan to conquer the slopes.

By the way. Famous films such as Von Ryan's Express, The Pink Panther, Cliffhanger, Ash Wednesday and For Your Eyes Only were filmed in Cortina.

The ski resort, located in a picturesque area at an altitude of 1224 meters above sea level, is one best areas skating. It can be called the sunny valley of the Dolomites, because good weather pleases vacationers for at least seven hours every day. The resort itself is a fairly large and modern village. There are many streets here beautiful churches, small squares with many shops, boutiques and cafes. In the evenings, life here is in full swing: restaurants, bars, nightclubs - everything is filled to capacity. No one will be bored here. This is a great place to relax with friends or family.
