Dolomitas

The Dolomites (a UNESCO World Heritage site) cover a vast area across the provinces of Trento, Bolzano, and Belluno. For 2026, your accommodation strategy should be defined by your primary goal: skiing/winter sports or hiking/scenery during the summer.

• Val Gardena (Ortisei, Santa Cristina, Selva): The "heart" of the Dolomites. Ideal for those seeking luxury, excellent gastronomy, and direct access to the Sella Ronda circuit. It is the hub best connected by public transport.
• Cortina d’Ampezzo: The jewel in the crown. A destination of sophistication, high-end shopping, and a vibrant nightlife. Excellent for those seeking 5-star resorts and impeccable infrastructure.
• Alta Badia (San Cassiano, Corvara): The perfect balance between alpine luxury and the wild outdoors. Famous for having the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants in the mountains.
• Val di Fassa: Best value for money. Ideal for families looking for more authentic villages and access to spectacular trails like the Catinaccio.

*Expert Tip:* In 2026, early booking (at least 6 months in advance) is mandatory, especially during the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games, which will significantly drive up demand in the region.
