About Mercatino di Natale di Cortina
Christmas in the Queen of the Dolomites
The Cortina d'Ampezzo Christmas Market is one of the most beloved events of the mountain holidays. Along Corso Italia and in Piazza Angelo Dibona, in the center of Cortina (province of Belluno), wooden chalets host local crafts, Christmas decorations, embroidery, candles, and gift ideas, in an atmosphere that makes the heart of the Dolomites a unique setting for the Christmas season.
Flavors and traditions of the holidays
Among the stalls, there are also food stands where you can enjoy mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, Christmas cookies, and local specialties. The market is enhanced by a large Advent calendar set up on the facade of the former town hall, which reveals a new window each day, and by daily creative workshops for adults and children.
Ice Skating and Holiday Magic
To complete the Christmas experience, an ice skating rink in Largo Poste enlivens the center during the holidays. Amidst lights, scents, and traditions, Cortina d'Ampezzo's Christmas offers visitors an immersion into the atmosphere of the Dolomite holidays, in one of Italy's most famous alpine resorts.
