Cortina d'Ampezzo (Cortina d'Ampezzo) - a pretty and aristocratic town, where mostly they go not so much to ride, how much to "burn" life. Indirect confirmation of this is the fact that two out of every three tourists coming to Cortina do not even get on skis.

However, riding there is quite comfortable: a lot of sun, and the mountain ranges of the Dolomites protect the town from the cold wind.

Cortina in general can boast of a unique location: its charming squares and stone spiers of churches are surrounded by one of the most majestic and picturesque peaks in the Alps. If you look at this "living wall" from the rocks, you can see the group Sorapiss-Marmarole, Antelao, Becco di Mezzodi-Croda da Lago, Nuvolau-Averau-Cinque Torri and Tofane.

The Winter Olympic Games of 1944 were to be held here, but were canceled because of World War II. And only in 1956 in Cortina there was a winter Olympics, where the USSR national team took part for the first time.
