Bilocale

The Ampezzo basin sits inside the Dolomites, with the Tofane, Cristallo, Sorapiss and Croda da Lago groups around the town. The Boite runs through the valley. The area is within the Dolomiti d'Ampezzo Natural Park, and the wider Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ski lifts leave directly from Cortina into the Tofane and Faloria-Cristallo sectors, with other lifts at Socrepes and Cinque Torri a short drive away. Cortina itself is the main town, with a substantial historic centre, hotels, services and major winter-sports infrastructure. The area is known for alpine skiing, climbing and as one of the best-known Dolomite resorts.
