It is in Cortina
where the difference between the mountain
range known as the Dolomites and the rest of
the Alps will be most obvious. This range
which dominates Italy's Sud Tirol, or South
Tirol the province of Belluno in Veneto
Region is more ragged and aggressive looking
than The Alps, and to this writer's eye
anyway, they are often more striking for it.
Cortina is in
the Ampezzo Valley, which naturally enough
is how the resort got its name- Cortina d'
Ampezzo. When one visits the resort, the
names of the surrounding most dominant and
striking of the Dolomite peaks will appear
on hotels, shops, ski schools etc. Cristallo,
Tofana and Sorapis are some that come to
mind immediately.
