Cortina d'Ampezzo (BL)

Region Veneto, Italy

Located in the Dolomites, probably among the three most exclusive mountain sport resorts in Europe, Cortina (Petsch-Hayden in German) is known for its first-class hotels and the shops which line Corso Italia. It was the host town of the 1956 Winter Olympic, and its astounding landscape, surrounded on all sides by the Dolimites, were the location for movies like Cliffhanger and The Pink Panther. The COmune includes 28 frazioni, and is subdivided into six traditional Sestieri: Alverŕ, Azzon, Cadin, Chiave, Cortina and Zuel.
