Cortina, Italy

Set in the magnificent Dolomites, Cortina is a very picturesque resort and is part of the Dolomiti Superski region.

Cortina is one of the world's classic ski resorts and is part of an exclusive club, with a dozen members in five countries, branding themselves the World's Greatest Ski Resorts. It was also the 1956 winter Olympics venue and the location for a stunt sequence in the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only".

Some believe Cortina has rested on its laurels through recent decades and that the on-piste options are limited for better skiers. There's no doubt however that for beginners and intermediates it's a wonderful resort - and scenically there are few in the world to compare, especially at sunset when the peaks turn every shade of mauve, pink and purple. The snow season lasts from December to April.
