Cortina - Après-ski

When the lifts stop, a popular rendezvous for après-ski in Cortina is the Clipper Bar, Largo Poste, which tends to get busier as the night draws on. For something more refined try the Hotel de la Poste, Piazza Roma (tel: 0436 4271; www.delaposte.it), or Enoteca wine bar, Via del Mercato, with a sensational range of over 700 wines. On the slopes, the Blues Bar Lacedel at the base of Socrepes is popular when the skiing ends.

Eating out: 

There's a wide range of options for eating out in Cortina - great pizzas at Pizzeria Al Passetto, Via Marconi (www.alpassettoghedina.it), good ambience in the Grill de la Posta, Piazza Roma 14, and high-end dining at the Michelin-starred Tivoli (www.ristorantetivoli.it) below the Lacedel ski area.

But the resort is all about mountain dining, with few mountain restaurants in Cortina failing to provide superb fare - don't miss the Rifugio Averau, above Cinque Torri, for its fantastic views and great pasta and wine, or the Rifugio Duca d'Aosta in the Tofana/Socrapes area.
