The Cortina Delicious area is a treasure trove of rugged peaks and breathtaking scenery,
situated in the heart of the majestic Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Partly inside the Ampezzo Dolomites Natural Park and bordering the Fanes Senes Braies Natural Park, it stretches around the Dolomite passes Falzarego and Giau, between Alta Badia, the Agordo area and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The landscape is characterised by the iconic mountains Sasso di Stria, Lagazuoi, Tofana di Rozes, Averau, 5 Torri, Nuvolau and Croda da Lago.
Mountain refuges, restaurants, hotels and lift facilities make this enchanting area accessible both in summer and in winter.
Throughout the year, the Delicious team is busy organising numerous sporting, cultural and gastronomic events.
There are many attractions: stunning ski runs and snowshoeing routes; rock walls, climbing crags and via ferratas known throughout the world; enchanting alpine lakes; an extensive network of hiking trails leading to high-altitude pastures and the largest outdoor museum of the Great War in the Dolomites: Lagazuoi - 5 Torri - Sasso di Stria.
All news and opening dates are published in our regularly updated events and news calendar.

On the path to the alpine huts of Fedarola, they will walk through the beautiful meadows of Pocol and Son Dei Prade.
Hot baths under the starry sky and panoramic saunas outdoors at an altitude of almost 3,000 meters or on the shores of alpine lakes in the heart of the UNESCO Heritage Site Dolomites: for those who want to relax but love strong emotions. Absolutely eco-friendly proposals in which wood and steam are used for a spectacular wellness experience with full respect for nature.
The enchanting sunsets in the Dolomites are renowned throughout the world. When these rugged mountains are suffused in pink shades gradually turning to a fiery red, they take even the most experienced mountaineers by surprise. The Delicious team arranges early morning breakfasts as well as aperitifs and dinners so that you can enjoy both spectacles to the full.
Cortina Delicious is a cultural centre that boasts extraordinary venues for meetings, conventions and conferences. Conference rooms are available at the Lagazuoi EXPO Dolomiti, at 2732 m of altitude, and at the Hotel Villa Argentina on the Great Dolomites Road.
For a memorable wedding, why not choose one of the charming high-altitude terraces in the heart of the Dolomites, with a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a unique setting for that special day? The Delicious team organizes weddings at unusual and extraordinary venues: mountain huts at high altitude against the background of the Alpine sunset glow, historical hotels and converted barns.
A gateway to the Ampezzo Dolomites Natural Park and the Sennes and Fanes Natural Park, the Cortina Delicious area is a great nature oasis.
An ideal habitat for ibex and chamois, it is home to marmots, hares, partridges and even eagles, which hunt and nest here.
Further down towards the valley live black grouse and nutcrackers. You are likely to hear the unmistakable shrill whistles of the loveable marmots keeping guard and warning of your approach. Be amazed by the multitude of colorful flowers blossoming at high altitudes!
