1998 Italia: Cortina d'Ampezzo

church in snow church at dusk Cortina d'Ampezzo is a very cute village high in the Italian Alps - the Tyrolian Dolomites.

The Olympics were held here, years ago, but evidence of them can be seen: the ski jump on the outskirts of town and the stadia near the main street.

Even in the midst of an El Niño winter (when it's unseasonably warm) it's one of Europe's places to see and be seen promenading up and down the streets and alleys, preferably with very expensive fur coat and jewelery.

My mother made the arrangements for this trip. She booked us into the Hotel Royal, on the main square of Cortina. Here's a panorama of what the surrounding areas (and the piazza) look like from three sides of the hotel.
