A house for up to 14 guests
01 / WINTER
Snow, speed and Olympic legacy
Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics & Paralympics
Feb–Mar 2026
Cortina co-hosted the Games, seventy years after its 1956
Olympics: the women’s alpine skiing races ran on the
Olympia delle Tofane, curling at the
renovated Olympic Ice Stadium, and bobsleigh, skeleton and
luge at the rebuilt Eugenio Monti Sliding Centre. Italy’s
Federica Brignone took gold on the Tofane.
The Games left upgraded lifts, roads and snowmaking across
the valley — and, handily, the San Vito ski area stayed
open to the public throughout.
Cortina Audi FIS Ski World Cup
January
Every winter the world’s best women’s speed skiers race
the legendary Olympia delle Tofane. After a one-year break
in 2026 for the Olympics, the World Cup returns on
15–17 January 2027 — the first
post-Olympic races — with two downhills and a super-G.
Dobbiaco–Cortina Granfondo
Winter
A cross-country ski marathon with nearly fifty years of
tradition, tracing the old railway from Dobbiaco past Lake
Landro and the Cimabanche pass to Fiames near Cortina; the
50th edition runs 6–7 February 2027.
02 / SPRING & SUMMER
Trails, railways and classic cars
Cortina–Dobbiaco Run
Late May
The summer counterpart to the ski Granfondo: a scenic
~30 km point-to-point run from Cortina’s Corso Italia along
the old Dolomites railway — through rock tunnels and over
suspended bridges, past the Cima Banche pass and Lake
Landro with the Tre Cime in view — finishing in Dobbiaco.
The 2026 edition is on 31 May.
La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB
Late June
One of the world’s iconic trail races, part of the UTMB
World Series, starting and finishing on Cortina’s Corso
Italia. The 2026 edition runs 24–28 June with five
distances — 10, 20, 50, 80 and 120 km — the flagship 120K
climbing 5,800 m past the Tre Cime, Cristallo, Sorapis and
Croda da Lago.
Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti

A historic regularity race for classic and vintage cars
over the great Dolomite passes, filling Cortina with

Your base for an event or training camp
Room for the whole crew.
The whole house sleeps 14 and is built for
groups — a race crew, a ski or cycling team, or friends and
family coming to watch. You get a modern, quiet, more
affordable base 15 minutes from Cortina’s start
lines, a private garden and dedicated parking, e-bike
and EV charging, and a host who’s a Scuola Sci Cortina
instructor and knows the mountains.
Beyond sport, Cortina runs a full seasonal calendar — Cortina
Summer’s open-air music and cinema, the Cortina Fashion Weekend,
and the Una Montagna di Libri book festival — worth a look on
the town’s official events page when you visit.
