Madonna di Campiglio

An old medieval settlement, it acquired importance under the Habsburgs, when it became one of the favourite residences of the Austrian nobility.

Cortina d'Ampezzo


The most talked about ski resort in Italy, loved by the international jet set, Cortina is the pearl of the Dolomites, to go there is a party game; to live there is a privilege.

Set in a hollow and surrounded by the suggestive scenery of the harsh peaks of the “Pallid Mountains” as the man who discovered these peaks, Dolomieu, this Bellunese town situated at 1224 metres of altitude has an incredible charm which enchants both those who come to admire the panorama and those who come in search of sports, worldly or cultural events. The streets, the houses and its high class shops are, in fact, the destination for refined and demanding tourists and personalities from the world of politics, culture, show business, sport and fashion.
