Back in the winter of 2017\/2018, I found myself working in a hotel in Cortina ski resort. I would later go on to train as a ski instructor in subsequent ski seasons in Italy<\/a> and Val d’Isere<\/a> but it was this first season, living amongst the stunning landscape of the Dolomites, where I first begun my transition from a lazy holiday skier to seasoned expert. Between split shifts in the kitchen I would spend my afternoons exploring all the runs that skiing in Cortina provides and it is from this experience that this guide was constructed.<\/p>\n

#1 Forcella Rossa<\/h2>\n

We’re starting off our list with one of the toughest challenges that skiing in Cortina has to offer. If you head up towards the Ra Valles area via the second Tofana cable car, as featured in the 2015 action movie Point Break, you really only have two options back down. You can head back down the cable car you travelled up in or you could head over to Black 51, the Forcella Rossa, the steepest ski run in Cortina d’Ampezzo. This piste is for experts only, with several steep and narrow pitches combining for over 2km of challenging skiing. Fantastic views of the entire Ampezzo valley can be enjoyed along the way down with the prize of ultimate bragging rights for anyone in your group who makes it down without falling over.<\/p>\n
