Cortina d’Ampezzo

Monday, January 25th, 2010

The New York Times ran an article on skiing and most importantly eating in Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites.  http://travel.nytimes.com/2010/01/24/travel/24cortina.html 

It echoed many of our observations from a few years ago on our first visit.  We ate very well both on and off the mountain.

Cortina is easily accessable from the US with flights to Venice followed by a 2 hour transfer to Cortina.  After skiing for a week, you can easily incorporate a few days in Venice with minimal crowds before your return to the US.
