Ski/Snowboard Trip: Cortina d'Ampezzo

Cortina d'Ampezzo has been a winter sports mecca since the 1930's, and in 1956 hosted the first Italian Winter Olympic Games! It is known as the Queen of the Dolomites and is located in the heart of the eastern part of these spectacular mountains, in the Belluno province of the Veneto region. The area can be open and sunny, boasting stunning views in every direction! One of the best-known ski resorts in the world, Cortina lives up to its reputation with a system of modern ski lifts and snowmaking capabilities that cover 90% of the slopes and guarantee a ski season that stretches from November through April. It also sports nearly 140 km's of slopes!

The bus plans to leave promptly on time so please arrive early enough beforehand. We are not planning a stop on the way up. The bus has a restroom onboard, but in the event that it's not operational we can make a stop as needed.

Rental equipment must be reserved in advance. You will be able to pick up your rental equipment the morning of the trip from Outdoor Recreation. We will pick up people from Del Din first, then stop at Ederle for everyone to load their equipment onto the bus.

The trip guide will provide guidance on the resort to the best of their knowledge. If you're interested in having lessons on skiing/snowboarding, please contact Outdoor Recreation directly.
