Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy
This year we have a trip planned to Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomite region of Italy. We have skied here before and have to qualify it as being the most beautiful setting in all of the Alps, and the town of Cortina ranks as one of the prettiest. Cortina is part of the Super Dolomiti Ski Region which encompasses approximately 762 miles of ski trails. During our stay we will ski the famous Sella Ronda which is an all day ski journey from town to town and resort to resort around the Sella Ronda. It’s an experience never to be forgotten. Below are details of the trip. All figures are an approximation, and based on paying your initial deposit by September 30th 2009. Reserving a spot on the trip after September 30th may result in slightly higher pricing. If you are interested please let us know as soon as possible as we are reserving rooms now and only have a limited amount of availability. At the end of the trip we will spend one day and one night in Venice where we fly in and out of. Some of us may stay a day or two longer and see some additional sights. If you are interested in joining us please let us know. There will be skiers of all levels in the group. Below are details of the trip.
