📅 Day 1: Snow & Spritz
You roll into Cortina and instantly feel that “La Dolce Vita in snowboots” energy. The town sparkles — pastel buildings, crisp air, and locals strutting from the slopes straight to espresso bars.
Stroll Corso Italia, peek inside La Cooperativa di Cortina for stylish alpine gear, then warm up at LP26 Café — their spritz game is unmatched.
Dinner at Il Vizietto di Cortina hits the sweet spot: truffle pasta, candlelight, and that cozy-after-ski glow.
Hidden gem: slip into Enoteca Cortina later — locals gather here for a glass of Amarone and soft jazz.
Estimated daily spend: ~€280
📅 Day 2: Slopes & Style
The Dolomites wake up pink — seriously, it looks painted. Grab breakfast at Pasticceria Alverà (their croissants are basically art) before heading up the Tofana lifts.
Even if you don’t ski, ride the cable car to Rifugio Pomedes — the view is surreal, and the hot chocolate feels illegal it’s so good.
Afternoon? A lazy stroll back through town, stopping at Baita Piè Tofana for wine and alpine tapas as the light fades.
Hidden gem: La Suite Bar — a tiny cocktail spot tucked behind Corso Italia where bartenders remember your name after one drink.
Estimated daily spend: ~€310
📅 Day 3: Villages & Market Lights
Trade the glam for charm today. Take a 20-minute drive to San Vito di Cadore, where locals sell hand-carved souvenirs and the pace slows down to heartbeats.
Grab lunch at Bar Al Lago by the frozen lake, then head back before dusk — Cortina’s Christmas market twinkles alive.
Try Ristorante Baita Fraina for dinner: rustic beams, mountain recipes, and a view that doesn’t quit.
Hidden gem: walk behind the church in Campo di Sotto for a secret overlook — it’s Cortina’s quietest spot at sunset.
Estimated daily spend: ~€280
📅 Day 4: Spa & Goodbye
Your last morning deserves peace. Book a wellness pass at Grand Hotel Savoia — sauna, snow outside, steam inside.
After, wander one last time through Corso Italia for souvenirs, then stop by Dolce Amaro Pasticceria for one final espresso and pastry.
Cortina never really says goodbye — it just waits for your next winter return.
Hidden gem: Rifugio Col Druscié — take the short lift up for a farewell view of the valley; it’s quiet, simple, perfect.
Estimated daily spend: ~€230
