Cortina d'Ampezzo Book

Cortina d’Ampezzo, jewel of the Italian Alps, has long drawn those who seek both adventure and old-world charm. Its modern origin story begins with its glamorous rise in the twentieth century as the “Queen of the Dolomites.” Cortina then stepped onto the world stage with the 1956 Winter Olympics, after which there was no turning back and its slopes have since welcomed royalty, film stars, and alpine legends. Cold weather doesn’t stop the crowds of skiers from partying beneath the Dolomites or dancing at one of the town’s many nightlife hotspots. Cortina is more than a mountain; it is a home away from home, complete with Ladin heritage, Alpine cuisine, and the chic boutiques of Corso Italia. Seventy years after its first foray welcoming the highest level of global competition, Cortina prepares to co-host the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Cortina d’Ampezzo embodies the spirit of this iconic destination through evocative imagery and storytelling. This book celebrates everything Cortina has to offer, forming a portrait of classic elegance in the heart of the Italian Alps.
