View from the Tofana ski area down to Cortina d'Ampezzo by Thomas Bugdoll

The Tofane triumvirate is one of the best-known and most striking Dolomite massifs. The Tofane lie to the west of Cortina d'Ampezzo and tower over the Valle del Boite. The three peaks are among the highest peaks in the Dolomites. As part of the Ampezzo Dolomites Nature Park, the Tofana near Cortina is probably the most impressive backdrop framing the Ampezzo Valley.

The slopes of the Tofana ski area are of medium difficulty, all facing east and surrounded by a magnificent and spectacular landscape, with a marvellous view of Cortina d'Ampezzo. The "Tofana" is a ski race course on which the men's downhill of the 1956 Winter Olympics was held. It has regularly hosted women's World Cup races since 1974.

Cortina d'Ampezzo is a renowned winter and mountain sports centre that hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics and the Alpine World Ski Championships in 1932, 1941 and 2021. Together with Milan, the town is set to host the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The municipality is located in the Italian province of Belluno in Veneto in the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the heart of the mountains.
