Cortina, Courmayeur and the Dolomite Mountains, Italy
Cortina, Courmayeur and the Dolomite Mountains, Italy
Springtime is ideal for biking and skiing in this breathtaking region of the Alps. Julie & Mark cycle through a village where artists have painted the history of the people on the ancient buildings and explore tunnels used by the Italian Army during World War I high above Cortina.
In Courmayeur, they board a helicopter to ski the distant peaks and meet the brave alpine guides who dedicate their lives to protecting skiers and hikers from the dangers of the Alps.
Mark & Julie stroll the cobbled streets of charming Italian villages and indulge in culinary specialties with the locals, always the highlight of an adventure in Italy!
TIPS for TRAVELERS to CORTINA & COURMAYEUR
There is plenty of great skiing in Europe, but if food is important to you, then Italy probably has a slight advantage - and of course there's always a nice glass of Chianti to go with every meal!
