Italy's Cortina d'Ampezzo is about to unveil a brand-new lift this winter, promising faster access to its famed ski areas and a smoother start to the winter season.
The newly lift begins at 1,334 metres above sea level and rises to 1,558 metres, covering an altitude difference of 224 metres in under four minutes. With 53 cabins seating 10 passengers each and a maximum capacity of 3,000 people per hour, the installation is designed to cut waiting times and maximise time on the slopes. Skiers will now enjoy quicker connections to the Tofane and Ra Valles ski areas, as well as the scenic Cinque Torri, making the resort's terrain more accessible than ever.
Known as the "Queen of the Dolomites", Cortina d'Ampezzo is one of Italy's most prestigious ski resorts. Nestled in the UNESCO-listed Dolomite mountains, the town sits at 1,224 metres and offers access to slopes reaching nearly 2,930 metres. Cortina is also part of the vast Dolomiti Superski area, which spans 12 valleys and connects over 1,200 kilometres of pistes.
Cortina is preparing to co-host the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, staging women's alpine ski racing competitions, as it does World Cup races each winter. Improved infrastructure is central to ensuring smooth access for athletes and visitors alike. For everyday skiers, the new lift should mean less queuing, more skiing, and a faster route into some of the Dolomites' most iconic terrain.
