Spring Season at Cortina d'Ampezzo

Spring in Cortina d'Ampezzo is a season of awakening and contrasts, a dynamic period where the last vestiges of winter slowly give way to the vibrant bloom of alpine flora. Early spring can still offer excellent late-season skiing, especially on higher slopes, as the sun becomes warmer and the snow softens. As the season progresses, the valley floor rapidly greens, adorned with wildflowers, while the majestic peaks retain their snowy caps, creating dramatic visual contrasts. This transitional period is perfect for mixed activities: one might ski in the morning and hike or cycle in the afternoon. Waterfalls swell with snowmelt, and the streams rush with newfound energy. While some lifts might be closed for maintenance between the winter and summer seasons, lower-altitude trails become accessible for invigorating walks and e-biking. Spring is a season of renewal, offering a unique opportunity to witness the Dolomites shedding their winter cloak and bursting forth with new life, appealing to those who appreciate evolving landscapes and a quieter, more reflective mountain experience.
