Majestic Mount Faloria: A Peak of Natural Wonder

Getting There

• Car

  From the center of Cortina d'Ampezzo, start by driving on Via Roma towards the south. Continue straight onto SS51, following signs for 'Cortina d'Ampezzo'. After about 2 km, turn left onto Via Faloria. Follow this road as it winds up the mountain. After approximately 3 km, you will reach the gondola station for the Faloria cable car, which is the best way to access the peak. Parking is available near the gondola station, and it may incur a cost of around €5 for the day.

• Public Transportation

  If you're using public transportation, start at the Cortina d'Ampezzo bus station, located in the city center. Look for the bus line that goes to 'Faloria'. These buses run frequently, especially during the tourist season. The ride will take about 15 minutes. Once you arrive at the Faloria cable car station, you will need to purchase a ticket for the cable car, which costs approximately €20 for a round trip. The gondola will take you directly to the top of Mount Faloria.

• Walking

  For the more adventurous, you can hike to Mount Faloria. From the center of Cortina d'Ampezzo, head towards the gondola station on Via Faloria. The hike is roughly 1.5 hours if you take the trail that parallels the gondola. This option provides stunning views but be prepared for a moderately challenging walk. Ensure you wear proper hiking shoes and bring water. You will still need to purchase a gondola ticket if you wish to return that way.
