Cortina is often hailed as the ‘premier Italian ski resort’, with its classic Tyrolean charm attracting the chicest of Italy’s rich and famous. Demographics aside, with 90% of the runs having snow making facilities and Cortina’s steely determination on grooming the pistes to perfection, the slopes are almost always guaranteed to be in tip top shape, ideal for those cruisy beginner runs.

Home to 55km of beginner runs, there should be plenty to keep you entertained for the week, but if your legs just really can’t handle any more snow plough then joining the fur coat brigade for a spot of piste side sunbathing would never be frowned upon.
