El Camineto

Cortina d’Ampezzo


With a rustically elegant dining room and spectacular terrace, El Camineto is one of the few fine-dining restaurants that stays open almost year-round (though it closes May, June and November). Sit on a cushioned deckchair with a front-row view of the Dolomites and tuck into a plate of roasted boar or venison-stuffed ravioli in a hazelnut sauce.
