Cortina
Cortina d'Ampezzo or more simply know as Cortina is one of Italy's most famous ski towns. It is very expensive and high class but it has every imaginable outdoor activity and is breathtaking.
Cortina is perfectly nestled between the mountains and has gorgeous views in every direction. It is a winter paradise and all the shops and town are very walkable. The food is delicious and you can find specialty deserts, candies and chocolates everywhere.
Winter Olympics-There is a lot of hard work going into preparing for the games from new new hotels to fresh paint jobs to new bridges and widened highways but Cortina will be ready for the 2026 Olympic Games. They have hosted the olympics before back in 1956 but this is the new age and major upgrades and infrastructure is required.
The drive up to the Dolomite Mountains is fantastic.
We stopped in a small town on the way up for a coffee and bathroom timeout. This church had god and the heavens above shining down on it and what you see in the picture really doesn’t do this scene enough justice. The background mountains are the Austrian Alps.
