136 When visiting Cortina d’Ampezzo in the summer, make sure to take a stroll down Corso Italia, one of the town’s main streets, for a memorable shopping and dining experience. From high-end jewelry to clothing, antiques, and trendy designs, this street has it all. On a rainy day, you can explore the town’s three museums, including the Paleontological Museum Zardini, the Ethnographic Museum of the Ampezzo Rules, and the Rinaldi Modern Art Museum. The surrounding areas of Cortina d’Ampezzo are equally stunning, with plenty of exciting experiences for everyone, including hikes, cable car rides, and bike tours. There are also a handful of must-see attractions, such as Lake Sorapis, one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the area, with turquoise waters surrounded by imposing Dolomite walls. To get there, follow the trail number 215 from Passo Tre Croci. Another remarkable attraction is the Cinque Torri, or Five Towers, accessible by climbing to the Rifugio Scoiattoli along the road to Passo Falzarego. It’s one of the most scenic hikes in the area, even for those who aren’t very fit. The Tre Cime di Lavaredo, although technically not part of Cortina d’Ampezzo, is another must-see in the Dolomites. To get there, drive up to Rifugio Auronzo from the lake of Misurina and complete a loop around one of the most iconic peaks in the Dolomites. Fanes Waterfalls is another impressive attraction, with wellequipped paths leading to the two falls of the Fanes Torrent. Be sure to bring ropes and protective gear if you plan on exploring the gorges and canyons. Also, don’t forget to try Casunziei, the traditional ravioli from the Dolomites, which can be found in all the refuges in the Ampezzo basin. The ones made with red beets are a local specialty. Finally, the Lagazuoi Tunnel is an important historical site from World War I, reminding visitors of the area’s past during the war. Built by the Italian army to position mines under the enemy trenches. The walls of Lagazuoi can still be seen from Passo Falzarego and are a haunting reminder of the war.
