Cortina d'Ampezzo

"I suggest staying in Cortina d’Ampezzo for the entirety of your trip. I personally hate packing up and going to a whole new place to stay for a couple days. This is a great centrally located location. About 30 minutes from Tre Cime and 60 minutes away from Lago Di Braies. There will be a couple of places such as Seceda and Alpe Suisi that will take longer to get to but you can do that in one day. If you do want to stay in multiple locations I will have some hotels that I love under the stays section. For example, one of my favorite hotels in the area is Forestis. Forestis is located 2 hours away from Cortina and 1 hour away from Ortisei, another town centrally located."

"Cortina d’Ampezzo, known as the "Queen of the Dolomites." Cortina is a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering skiing in winter and hiking and cycling in summer. It’s also a chic resort town with a glamorous atmosphere, having hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956 and set to do so again in 2026. Take a walk through the town’s elegant streets, lined with luxury boutiques, cafes, and art galleries. The town is a hub for both culture and nature, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking and exploring the mountains. Grab an aperitivo at a local bar while watching the sun set over the Dolomites."

"Great jumping off point for the Dolomites! Very much a resort town, it attracts the who’s who for skiing. They hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956! It’s still a good spot for winter sports or summer hiking, and a good base for exploring this part of the Dolomites. "
