Skiing or eating in Cortina are interesting sociological experiences. On the slopes or in the lodges, between a bombardino drink and waiting in line at the lifts, encounters can be as informal as they are mind-blowing.

Maybe it’s all the ski gear, the helmet and goggles that offer an easy anonymity. Maybe it’s the altitude, but this sport continues to be a must not only for mountain lovers, but also for celebrities around the world, including politicians, industrialists and stars.
