It&#8217;s no wonder. Cortina is a great hub for seeing many of the famous Dolomiti attractions. Some of the best hikes and via ferratas in the Dolomites are around Cortina, and in this article, I will show you just how great this town is for outdoor and photography lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Cortina_DAmpezzo\"><\/span>About Cortina D&#8217;Ampezzo <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Michieli-Strobel-13-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24061\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Michieli-Strobel-13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Michieli-Strobel-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Michieli-Strobel-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Michieli-Strobel-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Michieli-Strobel-13.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to its central location, Cortina is considered the heart of the Italian Dolomites. The town rose to fame during the 1956 Winter Olympics. Today, it is regarded as an upscale mountain resort, but don&#8217;t let that put you off. Cortina has maintained its charm with a lovely cobblestone main street dotted with restaurants, cafes, and ice cream parlours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_way_to_get_to_Cortina_DAmpezzo\"><\/span>The best way to get to Cortina D&#8217;Ampezzo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By bus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you happen to be visiting Venice first, you can easily plan an escape into the mountains and reach Cortina by using a shuttle bus.

The turquoise waters of Lake Sorapiss are the reason why this is one of the best hikes around Cortina. On any given summer day, it attracts hundreds of day hikers. If you want a little bit more peace, try to get there a bit earlier in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve done this hike a few times, including in early May when the lake was still covered underneath a sheet of ice and a blanket of snow. I only met a handful of other people on the trail and had the lake all to myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/lake-sorapiss-trail-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"653\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guide to Lake Sorapiss hike.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

That said, one needs to work hard to get to it first. I am talking about an hour-long, calf-burning approach through a scree gully to the Staunies saddle, where the ferrata begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a continuous feast for the eyes once you start your scramble along the cable-protected sections.

They are intertwined with long hiking sections. The circuit can be done in a day, provided you start at sunrise and finish at sunset. A much safer option is to stay the night at the cosy Rifugio Vandelli or one of the two alpine bivouacs along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-giro-del-sorapiss\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"668\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guide to via ferrata Giro Del Sorapiss<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

It is only a cable car ride away from Falzarego mountain pass. You can book an overnight stay in the hut and enjoy sunrise and sunset atop the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Similarly to Lagazoui, it can also be reached with the help of a chairlift. You have great views of the jagged Croda Da Lago and Monte Antelao from the hut&#8217;s terrace. The start of the previously mentioned via ferrata Ra Bujela lies nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
