I'm headed to Cortina a week from today. Spending 3 nights there and then moving on to Corvara for next 4 nights. I've done a rifugio to rifugio trip south to north across the Dolomites (Passo Rolle to Sexten) using lifts where available and hiking (climbing skins) when necessary. Plus three other weeks in the Dolomites, one based out of Castelrotto, another out of Colfosco and another out of Corvara. The first trip was guided. The rest we did on our own. I have hired guides for a few day trips along the way to access off piste. I've skied most of the major resorts in the alps and have alpine toured annually since the early 80's. When I get the chance, I'll always pick the Dolomites. Hard not to have a good time there.
