Emergency Services & Mountain Rescue

Cortina d'Ampezzo provides robust emergency services to ensure the safety of its visitors. This includes a local Carabinieri (police) station, a volunteer fire department, and a highly skilled Mountain Rescue team (Soccorso Alpino e Speleologico Veneto - Delegazione di Cortina). The mountain rescue is always on standby for emergencies related to hiking, climbing, or skiing accidents in the rugged Dolomite terrain. The general emergency number in Italy is 112 (European Emergency Number), which connects to all services. These services operate 24/7, year-round, providing peace of mind for those enjoying the outdoor activities.
