In today's vlog, we take a bus from Venice to Cortina in the Dolomites Mountain range - known as the Dolomitos in Italian, went up the ski lift thingy and saw some of the most incredible views. We're here in Venice, Italy, or Venezia, Italia in Italian. We're staying at a hotel called Bauer Palladio Hotel & Spa, a luxury 5 star hotel on the water here in Venice. Day 1, getting the Easyjet plane from Edinburgh to Venice, then finding out that we need to get a water taxi to our hotel. That was fun.

Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy in the heart of The Dolomites - the most beautiful mountain in the world!
Cortina dÁmpezzo, Italy is a small town in the Alps surrounded from all sides with the incredible peaks of the Dolomites and offering some of the most stunning views a mountain can offer! It is amazing creature of nature with a breath taking beauty! We traveled through the forest and marveled at the magestic stone peaks covered with snow, we walked the streets of Cortina and gazed at the incredible rock formation of the Dolomites and we decided that it is only normal to drive all the way up and see those monsters from up close! It was worth it! The mountain from the top is even more beautiful and there is no photo or video that can recreate the beauty of it! We did our best and we know it is not comparable to the real sight! Still, if we can awake your curiosity and make you take a trip to see the Cortina dÁmezzo with your own eyes it will be all worth it! We hope you enjoy the video and that you will one day also make the trip to the most beautiful mountain in the world! Thank you for watching!
The Dolomites: Live from Cortina d'Ampezzo
Winter sports, apres-ski, James Bond film set -- but even in summer Cortina is not to be missed. Cortina d'Ampezzo is the jewel of the Dolomites, the Italian mountain range that's just a few hours away from Venice. More famous as a winter ski resort and setting for James Bond films, Tony and Helen Page found it well worth exploring in summer, and a good base for exploring the picturesque Alpine region.
The clouds are coming in, it's late afternoon and here we are in Cortina d'Ampezzo. (Someone sneezes) Oh, nice sneeze, unfortunately lots of people seem to have colds around here. The basic shops are open and people, as you can hear, are wandering by, having come out after a rather desolate centre of the day period, when only a few cafes seem to be open. Of course, it's the summer.
Let's just sweep around here. It's pretty dull once the light misses the street, which you'll see. This is the main street which is Corso Italia. The architecture is pretty typical and this cafe which is now in the shadow was where we had a nice lunch - well, alright, it was not too nice, I'll be honest, the coffee was good - when it was all in sunlight. It's actually very hot in the sunlight. Okay, that's about the full circle. I'll go and see if I can find more sunlight in Cortina.
Okay, so I found some more sunlight. There's the church and this very impressive building, I'm not quite clear what it is. I asked a few people, but so far nobody's given me a good answer. You see the hotel, I tried to pick out a little bit of colour for you. Flowers everywhere and also, motorbikes. Let's go and see here. This morning we went up the mountain (Ed: Dolomites) and it was amazing the number of mostly German and Italian biking clubs that we saw everywhere.
The tower and the graceful gable of that church actually look quite attractive.
Just as a contrast, here we are inside the parish church of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Quite nice really. It doesn't seem to be mentioned in many of the books though. It's a pleasant change from the hubbub that suddenly developed outside.
Well, here we are back on the main street of Cortina D'Ampezzo. there's our hotel (Ed: Hotel Ancora) and Helen just coming out of it. It's 4 o'clock, just 5 o'clock sorry, and people are really coming out onto the streets. It's amazing the difference, to tell you the truth. As I said there's our hotel we're currently staying at. It's an interesting place, very good service, but they're doing some renovations and the owner has moved into one of the top rooms with his dog - quite interesting. It's also notable for its extremely pneumatic young lady in a state of undress, falling off her horse, apparently. I think I'll do a close-up here. As you can see, not quite Michelangelo, but never mind.
Anyway, there's not a lot of activity in the sense of things other than people aimlessly walking around and peering into the shops, which are just opening actually, and going on. But, you've got to say, it's a very beautiful place and in fact there are a lot of cable cars and things around the place which would give you quite a few days' activities as you take the cable cars up the various mountains and wander around up there. Certainly very beautiful and very impressive mountains. Anyway, we're off to Venice again tomorrow, so let's see how it goes.

Places to see in ( Cortina d'Ampezzo - Italy )
Cortina d’Ampezzo is a ski resort in northern Italy. It’s part of the Dolomiti Superski area, which encompasses the Falzarego Pass, with its downhill runs. Sites from the 1956 Winter Games held in Cortina include the Ice Stadium, the Eugenio Monti bobsleigh run and the disused ski jump Trampolino Olimpico Italia. The Tofane area is the site of a Women’s Ski World Cup race and Cortina Snow Park for jumps and tricks.
Cortina d'Ampezzo commonly referred to as Cortina, is a town and comune in the heart of the southern (Dolomitic) Alps in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. Situated on the Boite river, in an alpine valley, it is a winter sport resort known for its skiing trails, scenery, accommodation, shops and après-ski scene, and for its jet set and aristocratic European crowd.
In the Middle Ages Ampezzo fell under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Aquileia and of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1420 it was conquered by the Republic of Venice. It then spent much of its history under Austrian rule, briefly undergoing some territorial changes under Napoleon, before being returned to Austria, who held it until 1918. From the nineteenth century, Ampezzo became a notable regional centre for crafts.
The local handmade products were appreciated by early British and German holidaymakers as tourism emerged late nineteenth century. Among the specializations of the town were crafting wood for furniture, the production of tiled stoves and iron, copper and glass items. Today, the local economy thrives on tourism, particularly during the winter season, when the population of the town typically increases from about 7,000 to 40,000. The Basilica Minore dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo was built between 1769 and 1775 on the site of two former thirteenth and sixteenth-century churches; it is home to the parish and the deanery of Cortina d'Ampezzo. The town also contains the Rinaldo Zardini Palaeontology Museum, established in 1975, the Mario Rimoldi Modern Art Museum, and the Regole of Ampezzo Ethnographic Museum.
Although Cortina was unable to go ahead with the scheduled 1944 Winter Olympics because of World War II, it hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956 and subsequently a number of world winter-sports events. The town is home to SG Cortina, a top league professional ice hockey team, and Cortina is also the start and end point of the annual Dolomites Gold Cup Race. Several films have been shot in the town, mostly notably The Pink Panther (1963), For Your Eyes Only (1981) and Cliffhanger (1993). Every year, from the end of July to early August, Cortina hosts the Dino Ciani Festival and Academy, which attracts pianists from around the world.
Near the bridge on the Bigontina River is the Town Hall, a palace in the Tyrolean style. Piazza Venezia houses several landmarks. The Ciasa de ra Regoles is one of the more important legal buildings in Cortina, where the regolieri — a council for the local villages that stood before the town merged — trained the community and gave administrative orders. It was at one time the center of Ampezzo's administration. Currently, it contains the offices of Comunanza Regole and the Modern Art Museum Mario Rimoldi. The building also contains the office of the Scuola Sci Cortina, Cortina's skiing school.

MT. FALORIA/CLIFFHANGER LODGE HIKE(ITALY): CORTINA D'AMPEZZO DOLOMITES
Hi everyone,
We spent our last day in Cortina d'Ampezzo on the top of Mount Faloria before we returned back home to Bologna. we were pretty tired from our previous hike to Tre Cime so we didn't have much energy for another hike up! The funicular was a fun way but a little scary to get to the top but the views were all worth it! During our walk up there, we even got to see the famous Cliffhanger lodge from Sylvester Stallone's movie Cliffhanger.
Hope you guys enjoy this video. Thank you for watching and don't forget to hit the Like button and subscribe to see more videos.

A Weekend in Cortina d'Ampezzo, The Dolomites, Italy
A weekend in Cortina d’Ampezzo, The Dolomites, Italy.
We spent a couple of days in the beautiful surroundings of Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Italian Dolomites.
Although early in the season there was snow on the upper slopes and a few chair lifts were open.
It was a few days before the start of the Italian holiday season so everything was open but the crowds hadn't yet arrived.
We also took a drive to Lago di Misurina which was beautiful. A stunning frozen lake lined with trees and a mountain backdrop.

Hi everyone,
Tre Cime di Lavaredo is one of the hiking trips we've been waiting for this summer. We were very excited to come to the town of Cortina and just be in the mountains. Unfortunately, it was not the best weather. We're so ready to hike and to capture the magnificent TRE CIME of Lavaredo, but it was rainy, foggy and cold. Unexpectedly, we really enjoyed this experience and being in the nature!
Also, if you want to know how to get to Cortina from Bologna by Train and bus, we've included it in the video. Hope this helps.
