The Dolomites: good to know
Which part of the Dolomites is best for skiing?
Alta Badia and Val Gardena, which share the Sella Ronda circuit, for the most connected skiing; Cortina for the town and the Olympic runs; Plan de Corones, above the Val Pusteria, for one big, well-groomed mountain.
Which Dolomites hotels hold two MICHELIN Keys?
In the 2026 selection, three: Forestis above Brixen, Aman Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano and Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti in Pinzolo. No hotel in the Dolomites holds three.
How do you get to the Dolomites?
Venice, Verona, Innsbruck and Munich are the airports, two to three hours away by car. The Brenner railway reaches Bolzano, Brixen and Brunico; Cortina has no railway.
Do you need a car?
Usually, yes. Ski buses link the villages within an area, but moving between valleys, and reaching hotels like Forestis or Berghoferin, needs a car or a transfer.
