You push through the gondola door and cold air slices the taste of prosecco from the chalet terrace; the peaks of the Tofane rise raw and pale above you while a DJ’s rhythms drift from the après-ski. This is Cortina d’Ampezzo on a day when skiing and wine tasting share the itinerary—short runs between three mountain chalets, each offering local vintages and regional dishes.
The route crosses Dolomite limestone ridges carved by ancient seas and uplifted by tectonic might; Cortina’s winter-sports reputation was cemented by the 1956 Winter Olympics and the town remains a focal point for alpine culture in Veneto. Food here leans on mountain cheeses, speck and hearty polenta while the region’s wine list favors Valpolicella, Amarone and Veneto whites—Prosecco’s hills lie further south, a reminder of Veneto’s varied terroirs.
Expect groomed intermediate runs, short uphill lift rides and three distinct stops: a modern Masi wine bar at Col Drusciè, the intimate Baita Piè Tofana, and Chalet Tofane for an energetic après. The full-day option climbs from 1,300 m to Ra Valles at 2,470 m, exposing you to high-alpine views and brisk weather swings.
Practical notes: bring a layered shell, goggles, and ski gear that performs across blue and red runs; hydrate between tastings and pace alcohol with food. Book in winter months for on-piste tasting, choose the half- or full-day based on your stamina, and tell your guide any dietary needs—local producers can accommodate many requests.

Cortina rose to international prominence hosting the 1956 Winter Olympics; the surrounding Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for unique carbonate rock formations.
