DOLOMITE MOUNTAINS Italy Founder Agustina Marmol has spent decades researching the best ski runs, restaurants, and refuges. A seven-day safari might start at Cortina d'Ampezzo and end at the Alta Badia ski area. Tours WWI battle sites, ski Marmolada Glacier, and lunch on sun-soaked terraces.

Stay: Ciasa Salares, with its 24,000-bottle wine cellar, and the seven-room Rifugio Fuciade.

DOLOMITES Italy The region’s 12 interconnected ski resorts are on the world cup circuit, but the big draw has long been their laid-back vibe and the sprezzatura on display at its high-altitude rifugios. Stay The spa at newish ski-in-ski-out Como Alpina, in Val Gardena, is reason enough to book. Intimate Hotel de Len, in Cortina d’Ampezzo (home of the 2026 Winter Olympics), is the latest venture from the family behind Puglia’s Borgo Egnazia. Aman’s Rosa Alpina, in San Cassiano, will supposedly be ready for ski season. Off-piste Skate the Olympic ice rink where Bardot took lessons, and shop Cortina’s Corso Italia.
