Fuoripista, fondo, eliski, scialpinismo, snow kite… A Cortina l’elenco degli sport bianchi è infinito e va da quelli estremi a quelli so slow. Ma la discesa resta la sciata per eccellenza. Adagiata nell’ampia Valle d’Ampezzo, “abbracciata” dalle Dolomiti, offre splendide piste in diversi comprensori: Tofane, Faloria Cristallo - Mietres e Lagazuoi - 5 Torri. Con lo skipass di valle si può sciare su tutte le piste del comprensorio Auronzo-Misurina, San Vito di Cadore e Cortina: un totale di 140 km inseriti nel circuito Dolomiti Superski suddiviso in percorsi facili, medi e difficili. Le 37 piste - 6 nere (tra cui la Vertigine Bianca, solo per sciatori esperti, che proveranno l’ebbrezza di una discesa in neve fresca, su una pista ecologica a impatto zero) 12 rosse, 13 blu e 6 verdi - per un totale di 47 Km, sono servite da 51 impianti a fune dei quali 6 funivie, 29 seggiovie e 16 skilift.

Off-piste, cross-country, heliskiing, ski mountaineering, snow kite ... At Cortina the list of winter sports is endless and it ranges from the extreme to the “so slow.” Yet downhill skiing remains the activity of choice. It’s made easier by the large and sunny Ampezzo Valley, which is “hugged” by the Dolomites, and it offers splendid slopes in three districts: Tofane, Faloria - Cristallo (Crystal) - Mietres and Lagazuoi - 5 Torri (5 Towers). With the Valley skipass you can ski on all the slopes in the AuronzoMisurina, San Vito di Cadore and Cortina district: a total of 140 kilometres of slopes that form part of the Dolomite Superski circuit, which is divided into easy, medium and difficult slopes. The 37 slopes (6 of which are black, including Vertigine Bianca, “White Vertigo”, which is only for expert skiiers, who can enjoy the exhilaration of going downhill in fresh snow, on an ecological slope with zero carbon imprint) have a combined total 47 kilometres. They are served by 51 cable installations including 6 cable cars, 29 chair lifts and 16 skilifts.
