The Cortina d’Ampezzo City Guides answer the questions every trip here raises: which mountain hut deserves your lunch, which cable car is worth the fare on a cloudy morning, how to see Lago di Braies and the Tre Cime without fighting for parking, where small children can walk without a carrier and where the evening starts on Corso Italia. Each guide is a short, honest list that says why a place earns its spot, what to order or look for and one practical tip, with the summer and winter seasons in mind. It opens in your browser the moment you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Ristorante Da Aurelio
Passo Giau, 30 min drive from Cortina
One family has cooked on this high pass for decades, and the food is careful mountain cooking with herbs from the meadows around it: gnocchi, egg with truffle, slow-braised beef cheek. Leave room for the grappa trolley. From the food guide.
Lago di Sorapis
Trail 215 from Passo Tre Croci, 15 min drive east
No road reaches this milky blue lake below the Sorapis walls: you walk about two hours each way, including a short ledge with cables that looks harder than it is. The colour of the water is the reward. From the things to do guide.
Skilift Sciovia Armentarola
Hidden Valley run, Lagazuoi to Armentarola
After the Lagazuoi cable car comes a long, easy red through a silent valley of frozen waterfalls. At the bottom you hold a rope and horses pull you along the flat for a few euros in cash. From the mountains and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Cortina d’Ampezzo
Day one: ride the Freccia nel Cielo cable car towards Tofana, stop for lunch with a view at Col Drusciè on the way down, then spend the early evening with a drink on the terrace of Hotel de la Poste and a pizza in the centre. Day two: head west to Passo Falzarego, go up the Lagazuoi cable car and come down through the wartime tunnels in summer or the Hidden Valley on skis in winter, with the Cinque Torri trenches and a rifugio lunch along the way. For a rainy or slow day, take hot chocolate and pastries at Alverà, skate at the Olympic ice stadium or swim at Acquafun in San Candido, and finish with a long dinner at Baita Piè Tofana.
