5 THINGS TO SEE in CORTINA d'AMPEZZO

Corso Italia & Historic Center

The shopping streets, also known as "the tanks". Here you will find jewellers, designer boutiques, restaurants but also sports shops, local handicraft shops, typical products and souvenir shops. Then there are the art galleries. Don't miss the Museums of Cortina, among the most important:

  1. R. Zardini Paleontological Museum: here you will find the richest collection of fossils in the Dolomites. Particularly suitable for families with children

  2. Mario Rimoldi Museum of Modern Art: this museum is located in the Ciasa de ra Regoles (in the Ladin language)

  3. Ethnological Museum of the Regole d'Ampezzo: in this museum there are historical artifacts of the place

  4. Great War Museum Area: these are museums that are all located within a few kilometers, focusing on the First World War (Lagazuoi, Sasso di Stria Museum, Forte Tre Sassi Museum and Museum of the 5 towers)

  5. Helmut Ullrich Astronomical Observatory: here you will find many activities suitable for aspiring astronomers

Lake Sorapis

One of the alpine lakes we love. The turquoise color and majestic rock faces give this place an indescribable charm. It can be reached by following path 215 which starts from Passo Tre Croci. If you can, avoid the weekends and the peak season to enjoy its beauty to the fullest!


Cinque Torri & Scoiattoli Refuge

To admire the Cinque Torri you have to go up to the Scoiattoli refuge from the road that leads to the Falzarego Pass. An excursion suitable for everyone that offers beautiful landscapes.


Tre Cime di Lavaredo & Lake Misurina

Even if they are not part of the municipality of Cortina, you cannot miss the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. You can reach Lake Misurina and then drive up to the Auronzo refuge (more than 2000 meters) along the toll road and continue on foot along a path suitable for everyone until you find yourself in front of one of the Dolomite scenarios that we love so much .


Giau Pass

The pass that connects Cortina to Selva di Cadore is one of the most legendary passes of the Giro d'Italia and is very scenic. The panorama from the top of the pass leaves you speechless: the Three Peaks, the Marmolada, the Sella Group, the Nuvolau and other Dolomite peaks are right in front of you.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Before any trip, it is a good idea to get insurance to cover any inconveniences that could ruin the experience. We always rely on HeyMondo , which allows you to choose the right insurance for every need. We recommend that you always protect yourself with health insurance and coverage for any cancellations, delays and, if you use it, for theft or breakage of electronic equipment. Medical care abroad can be very expensive. Health insurance in this country is not mandatory by law but it is strongly recommended, without it even a routine visit can make you pay out astronomical amounts.

INTERNET & PHONE CALL

eSIM CARD

How many times do we go abroad and the first thing we do is call home to say we have arrived. How often are we in a city on vacation and we need to find a place to eat using Google Maps or the internet. How many times do we need to send messages and photos on WhatsApp without spending a salary.

 

Tired of spending millions when abroad calling or using the internet?

Here is the SOLUTION we use: Holafly, a new technology with eSIM. Order your eSIM on the website and within minutes you will receive an email with a QR code. Just scan it and you'll be connected to the internet right away. You save time, stress and above all do something good for the environment by not having a physical SIM. If you are in a hurry and have to leave tomorrow and have not thought about the internet problem, you can solve it very quickly with this eSIM, and there is no problem that you could accidentally lose it or damage it while traveling. Most importantly, with the eSIM you don't have to change or remove your regular SIM card, you can leave it in the phone and use the eSIM instead of the physical one.

​

Don't waste time and above all don't spend millions, activate your Holafly eSim.

It's very easy, but how to do it? Just 3 steps and voilà!
