Steeped in history and unmistakable: Cortina d’Ampezzo
The region of Cortina d’Ampezzo is definitely worth a road bike holiday! This winter and mountain sports centre is located in 1,200 metres above sea level, in the Italian province of Belluno in Veneto, thus in the heart of the Ampezzo Dolomites. The Dolomites became a UNESCO World Heritage – natural site in 2009 and should be on your bucket list for this reason alone.
Cortina is also one of the most popular and elegant holiday destinations in the Dolomites. Anyone interested in history will also get here what their heart desires: The Lagazuoi Open-Air Museum provides interesting insights into World War I when Austrians and Italians faced each other in terrible battles in the local mountains.
