Last but not least, the majestic Monte Pelmo, one of the Dolomites&#8217; highest peaks, overlooks the entire town from the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town rose to fame during the 1956 Olympics and will soon repeat its host duties during the upcoming XXV Olympic Games in 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cortina is considered an upscale mountain resort, yet it has retained its charm. Despite being touristy, I return to Cortina regularly. I adore the main cobblestone street with shops, the Italian cafes, and the ice cream parlours, where I always get a few scoops after spending a day on the trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#48bda336\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-0a44e021\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 180 180\" version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><defs><style>.st0,.st1{fill:none;stroke:#000;stroke-miterlimit:10;stroke-width:10px}.st1{stroke-linecap:round}<\/style><\/defs><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M98.55 170.95H81.5c-8.34 0-15.11-6.77-15.1-15.11v-16.95c-18.55-9.16-31.01-28.81-29.62-51.21 1.64-26.34 22.74-47.75 49.06-49.73 31.29-2.35 57.4 22.34 57.4 53.13 0 20.97-12.12 39.12-29.73 47.81l.15 16.82c.07 8.39-6.71 15.24-15.1 15.24Z\"><\/path><path class=\"st1\" d=\"M90.06 5.51V22.1M4.84 87.39h16.59M158.46 87.39h16.59M30.71 29.44l11.85 11.85M150.33 30.31l-11.72 11.73M62.23 87.21l20.45 20.36 33.87-34.04\"><\/path><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M68 147.89h44.13\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">TIP: See my other articles about Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/best-things-to-do-in-cortina-dampezzo\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22987\">Things To Do In Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferratas-near-cortina-dampezzo\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"631\">Best Via Ferratas in Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo: From Beginner-Friendly To Advanced<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\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=\"How_to_get_to_Cortina_dAmpezzo\"><\/span>How to get to Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cortina-DAmpezzo-3-3-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"How to spend 5 days in Cortina D&#039;Ampezzo.

It&#8217;s neither too long nor too strenuous, which makes it ideal for the first day.  The trail culminates at the turquoise alpine lake, fed by the nearby glacier, underneath a prominent Punta Sorapiss peak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trailhead lies 20 minutes&#8217; drive or 30 minutes &#8216; bus ride from Cortina on the Tre Croci mountain pass. This is one of those iconic hikes in the Dolomites, and it becomes extremely crowded during the summer. By 8 AM, most parking spots are taken. By 10 AM, I have seen people park as far as 2 kilometres away from the main trailhead. Be sure to arrive very early to avoid the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a

the Croda da Lago circuit. This challenging trail traverses numerous alpine environments, ranging from fir forests to alpine lakes and rocky mountain passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Croda Da Lago circuit is wonderful in autumn when the larch trees that grow abundantly along the trail turn bright yellow. The Palmieri Refuge, built near the shoreline of Lake Federa (pictured above), caters to hungry hikers wanting to try the local cuisine. You can also stay here overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a

A network of trails crosses this area, and one of my favourites is the Lake Limedes and Cinque Torri circuit, which starts just below the pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just 30 minutes into the trail, you will come across a tiny alpine lake with great reflections of the surrounding peaks. It is called Lago Limedes. It completely dries out during autumn, but don&#8217;t worry, there are plenty of other jaw-dropping vistas to look at. For example, the triangle-shaped Sass Di Stria (pictured above), the rose-shaped Tofane Di Rozes, or the famous Cinque Torri &#8211; an interesting rock formation. History buffs will be delighted to discover the open-air museum located beneath Cinque Torri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a

This is a history-packed location that was a strategic fighting ground during World War I. The Lagazuoi Tunnels are among the most prominent remnants of that era. Their history is both fascinating and terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tunnels, which were drilled in Mount Lagazuoi, were constructed without following a specific plan. The soldiers just drilled through the rock until they reached the light, then estimated their location and repeated the process until they reached the top. Deaths from dust inhalation and hypothermia were common. Pack a torch, a helmet, and a warm jacket to keep yourself safe and warm in the tunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a

great panoramic views of Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo, consider tackling Via Ferrata Michielli Strobel. I like this route for its accessibility and the fun that it provides. This is also a fantastic route for those who have never done a via ferrata before. Most of it has the difficulty level A\/B, with only one short, harder B\/C Section. If you have never been on a via ferrata before, check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/beginners-guide-to-via-ferrata-climbing-in-the-italian-dolomites\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"617\">beginner&#8217;s guide<\/a> to see what you can expect from these routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Via ferrata Michielli Strobel was set up in the Pomagagnon range, just a 7-minute drive north of Cortina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-michielli-strobel\/\" data-type=\"link\"

small ridgeline above the Citta Di Fiume Alpine hut and at the foot of Monte Pelmo. This hike offers numerous great views, despite its short distance and moderate elevation gain. From the top, you will get a perfect vantage point of the pyramid-shaped Monte Antelao &#8211; the second-highest peak in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes approximately 1 hour by car to reach the trailhead for this hike from Cortina. This is the only hike in this itinerary that requires a car. On the way, you will pass Passo Giau, an iconic spot where you can stop for a quick photo. Since Col De La Puina is only a half-day hike, you will also have plenty of time to visit Alleghe. It&#8217;s a beautiful little town built on the shoreline of a turquoise lake at the foot of Monte Civetta &#8211; one of the Dolomites&#8217; highest peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/col-de-la-puina-hike\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11011\">Guide to Col De La Puina hike<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#48bda336\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-7bddbf93\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 180 180\" version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><defs><style>.st0,.st1{fill:none;stroke:#000;stroke-miterlimit:10;stroke-width:10px}.st1{stroke-linecap:round}<\/style><\/defs><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M98.55 170.95H81.5c-8.34 0-15.11-6.77-15.1-15.11v-16.95c-18.55-9.16-31.01-28.81-29.62-51.21 1.64-26.34 22.74-47.75 49.06-49.73 31.29-2.35 57.4 22.34 57.4 53.13 0 20.97-12.12 39.12-29.73 47.81l.15 16.82c.07 8.39-6.71 15.24-15.1 15.24Z\"><\/path><path class=\"st1\" d=\"M90.06 5.51V22.1M4.84 87.39h16.59M158.46 87.39h16.59M30.71 29.44l11.85 11.85M150.33 30.31l-11.72 11.73M62.23 87.21l20.45 20.36 33.87-34.04\"><\/path><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M68 147.89h44.13\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\"><strong>TIP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way back, stop at Biar Bianco in Santa Fosca for coffee and ice cream.

on the iconic via ferrata Ivano Dibona instead. This route is mainly known for its suspension bridge, but trust me, there&#8217;s a lot more to this route than just the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Via Ferrata Ivano Dibona is situated in the Monte Cristallo range and is rich in World War I history. The Buffa Di Perrero alpine bivouac, which is located approximately halfway along the route, has been restored since 2022. This is the coolest alpine structure I have ever come across.
