Cheap ski flights to Cortina d’Ampezzo

From the sweeping slopes with is-this-real vistas to the town’s impossibly charming, cobbled piazzas, this diamond of the UNESCO-stamped Dolomites has got the good-looking genes. The resort itself has an authentic Italian feel and there’s plenty for skiers and non-skiers alike. It’s particularly popular among locals from Milan and Rome, who come up for the weekend and spend their time flitting from the pistes to the many bars and restaurants. In the mood for some retail therapy? There are over 250 shops, selling everything from jewellery to snow gear. There’s also a weekly market on Tuesdays and Fridays, where you can pick up regional specialties like grappa. It couldn’t be easier to get around the resort, thanks to the free buses which you can catch from Piazza Roma and the main bus station. And when it comes to accommodation, you’ll find luxury, five-star hotels alongside family-run apartments. 

After a day clocking up the kilometres, there are loads of ways to unwind off the mountain. Grab your skates and whizz around the ice rink or have a go at curling. Snow biking, snow kiting, dog sledding... yep, you can try it all. As for sipping spots, après is a more laidback affair here. We’re talking cocktails in chic bars and cosy dinners in swanky restaurants.
