Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy

by victorwkf , 1 more photos

Cortina is a very nice town to explore in all seasons, especially in summer when the sun is warm and bright. You will see many alpine buildings here, including many holiday resorts and shops for the skiing season. The town square is very nice and there is a big church here. You can also walk out of the town and explore the surrounding Dolomite Mountains, which unfortunately I did not have much time to do it and furthermore the weather was not too good when I was there in June 2007.

Town centre of Cortina d'Ampezzo,

Italy

by victorwkf , 4 more photos

The town centre of Cortina d'Ampezzo is lined with many restaurants, accomodations, shops etc, and there is an impressive church here as well. It is located very near to the bus terminal (where the Dolomitibus arrives) and not very big, so do not expect too much. To me, Cortina is a very good getaway from Venice, and these two beautiful places (i.e. Venice & Cortina) are so much different :)

The Dolomites along Brenner's Pass,

Italy

by victorwkf

The Brenner's Pass is perhaps one of the most beautiful mountain passes in Europe. It is not located near to Cortina, but still within the Dolomite Mountain region. To experience this pass, the best way is to take the trains from Innsbruck in Austria down to the towns of Bolzano, Trento and perhaps all the way down to Venice. Brenner's Pass is located between the border of Austria with Bolzano-Trento in northern Italy. During the train journey, you will pass by some stunning mountains of the Dolomites, as well as deep valleys, hills, charming towns etc. More photos are at the travelogue section of this VT page.
