Those considering a ski break in Italy this winter will likely come across the ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Gorgeous, chic, and just a two hour drive from Venice, a vacation rental in Cortina d’Ampezzo is the ideal option for those looking to enjoy a perfect ski break in style in Italy.
An especially scenic part of the ski area in the north of Italy, Cortina D’Ampezzo boasts gorgeous towering peaks and pine forests and thickets as a backdrop to impossibly pretty towns made up of historic buildings, charming Alpine cabins, and excellent eateries and bars. Really immerse yourself in the ski lifestyle in these perfect, chic, and convenient surroundings for the ultimate ski break in Italy.
Of course, while the good looks, great location, and wonderful additional amenities for making the most of the après-ski lifestyle is all well and good and makes a ski holiday in Cortina D’Ampezzo all the more enjoyable, proper facilities for the winter sports themselves are also important.
