The Queen of the Dolomites offers many routes of varying difficulty and length, suitable for people of all ages and requirements. You will discover many incredible panoramic viewpoints and unexpected glimpses over Cortina’s grasslands and mountains, on easy walks with minimal ascent, or explore some of Cortina’s most historic and characteristic hamlets, whose fascination is closely tied to their historic aspects and the traditional Ampezzo architecture. 

Enjoy nature at the heart of the enchanted forests of the Dolomiti d’Ampezzo Nature Park, an 11,200-hectare area that enables you to admire a wide range of landscapes of great naturalistic interest and habitats with a high degree of biodiversity, amongst the richest and least contaminated of the Dolomites. There are many locations for refreshments on the routes, such as mountain lodges and huts, and rural tourism venues: excellent places at which to stop for a snack, a drink or a traditional lunch, or to savour a warm, typically alpine atmosphere and genuine, traditional cuisine.
