Autumn Leaves
 
The right time to savour all the tastes of quiteness.
The changing colours of nature and the peaceful surroundings.
Wild life getting ready for winter.
Glorious sunsets and sunrises.
Local dishes and wines...
Weather in a cozy hotel in the town centre or in a relaxing mountain hut: discover why spending some time in Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites is so special in Autumn.

Over the centuries, Cortina has been able to keep the whole area surrounding the village almost intact thanks to an intelligent policy of the protection and the repopulation of the endangered species.
 
 
The Natural Park of the Ampezzo Dolomites
 
The Natural Park of the Ampezzo Dolomites was established on 1990 and spreads out over an area of 11,000 hectares to the north of Cortina d\'Ampezzo on the border with Alto Adige (South Tyrol) in the heart of the Eastern Dolomites. The Park has been recognised by the European Community as a community heritage site.
The protected area wedged into the Fanes - Senes Braies Natural Park, forming with it a territory of homogeneous environmental features for a total extension of 37,000 hectares.
 
Established with the approval of the General Meeting of Regolieri, management of the Park has been entrusted by the Region to the Comunanza delle "Regole d\'Ampezzo" by virtue of the specificity of the ancient forms of management of the Ampezzo natural heritage, by them preserved and protected for hundreds of years”. The establishment of the park has considerably boosted cultural and scientific activities, as well as helped enhance the Ampezzo countryside and culture.

Various differentiated access roads exist at the disposal of visitors - from the main roads leading to the Falzarego, Cimabanche and Tre Croci passes, dozens of forest trails and paths depart, creating a network 300 kilometres long. Among the tourist routes are 8 metalled roads and 6 equipped trails, some of which are what remains of the mountain roads used during the Great War.

There are 11 alpine huts in the Park and in the vicinity; on the Lagazuoi, Tofana and Cristallo massifs cableways operate throughout the summer months as well, reaching fairly high altitudes, while along the access road to Malga ra Stua, in the Croda Rossa group, a public shuttle service is available.
