Cortina d’Ampezzo


Reserve ahead in the high season at this beloved, Swiss-style inn with simple but spotless rooms of knotty pine. The restaurant has a menu inspired by local ingredients, from mountain herbs to wild game, while the wine bar serves a selection of 550 Italian wines alongside a tasty selection of finger food.

It's located 2.5km south of the town centre.
