THE SPIRIT OF ICE: EXPERIENCE CURLING IN CORTINA

There is a sport that, more than any other, tells the authentic soul and elegance of our Ampezzo valley. Elegant, strategic, surprising: it is curling, an Olympic discipline that combines millimetric precision, concentration, and great team spirit.

In Cortina d’Ampezzo, curling is a true institution, born back in 1908 thanks to the intuition of some visionary local hoteliers who were fascinated by this sport in Switzerland. Since then, the passion has never faded, leading our town to host the first historic Italian Championships in 1955 and to establish itself, today, as one of the world’s temples of this specialty.

The experience: two hours on the ice as protagonists

A few steps from Hotel Ambra Cortina, the historic arena opens its doors to those who wish to experience an adventure unlike any other. No prior experience is necessary: in two hours you will discover the secrets of this fascinating sport, learn the fundamental rules, and experience firsthand the thrill of sliding the stone across the ice.

After the first practice throws and valuable advice from the instructors, the game will come to life: teams form, the challenge begins, and strategy takes center stage amid laughter and healthy competition. An incredibly engaging, fun experience suitable for everyone, perfect for families or groups of friends.

Because in Cortina there are not only the great ski slopes or summer trails. There are traditions, passions, and niche activities capable of transforming a vacation into an indelible memory.
