 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm staying in Corvara in late March and want to spend a day in Cortina. A few questions:
What's the best way to get to Cortina from Corvara? Taxi? Ski/bus/ski to Cinque Torre and get a taxi or bus to Cortina? I want to spend the whole day in Cortina, not waste time getting there.
Where to start? The base areas at Cortina are spread out. What's the logical place to start that allows us to do a full tour of all the lift systems? I skied there once many year ago on a south to north ski safari through the Dolomites. We skied the women's downhill course but didn't get to the other areas. We got weathered out on the Cristallo, but did skin up to the Tre Cime and skied down to Sexten.
What are the must do runs? I'm assuming that we'll be confined to piste skiing. We are a group of experienced skis who can handle any slope. Suggestions appreciated.
What is the go-to on hill lunch spot? Need not be the fanciest. Ambiance, views, Dolomiti charm are the key qualifiers.
Return to Corvara? Taxi or by ski and bus from Cinque Torre?

I did much of this last March, and you have sketched out an ambitious day. I'm no expert about Cortina, but as you have noted it is spread out (to say the least). I would suggest you consider splitting it into the Cinque Torre sector one day, reached via skis from Corvara, and another day driving to the center of Cortina where accessing some of the other sectors makes sense. 51 Forcella Rosa was a nice steep groomer and there are others. Great terrain there, dated lift system.

Hire a car for the day.
Apres ski drink in town for a bit of seriously good people watching and flash car ogling. [ Designated driver of course ]

Drive to 5 torre do that and then get back in your car about 2km from the village of pecol there is a big car park and direct access to the slopes so you can ski the whole tofana area
We arrived a day early last week so had a days skiing on the Saturday and then drove over to colfosco
If you fly out on the Friday and there is loads of cheap (and not so cheap) accommodation in cortina it would be a good place to start then check in that evening to where your staying

Thanks for the info.
Options are:
1.) Get a taxi both ways. 8 way split shouldn't be too bad.
2.) Ski + bus to Cinque Torre, ski a few runs. Bus to Pecol, ski, apres ski, and then taxi back to Corvara.
3.) Reverse #2 and taxi to Cortina, ski most of the day. Bus from Pecol to Cinque Torre. Ski to Laguzoi, Hidden valley (or bus) to Armenterola, ski back to Corvara. Apres ski.
