Cortina d’Ampezzo in northern Italy is celebrating a Week of Love in the magnificent Dolomite mountains from 11-17 February.
You can fall under the spell of the Corso Italia in Cortina town and become immersed in the dolce vita lifestyle of the resort they call the Queen of The Dolomites, following in the footsteps of film stars such as Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Clark Gable, Ingrid Bergman, Frank Sinatra and George Clooney.
Highlights include a meal of heart-shaped ravioli garnished with spices and truffle being served at the Averau Refuge; two night deals for two in a mountain refuge or farm; two for one ski lessons; jacuzzi sunset and a helicopter tour for two.
“Take your loved one away for early morning excursions bathed in the multi-coloured glow of sunrise, days enjoying the snow covered slopes, dinners in cosy mountain refuges with the fiery Dolomite sunset creating a spectacular setting for a holiday dedicated to love,” says Cortina’s Marianne Moretti.
