Cortina is famous for the awe-inspring scenery and we find ourselves skiing long perfectly groomed runs under the shadow of such majestic peaks as the Tofana, 2650m, Cristallo, 3010m, and Faloria, 2450m. All of these hide wonderful off piste valleys for the adventurous to explore with their guides. After the ski day we visit the town of Cortina with its fabulous shops and cosy coffee bars.
