Child Care

Child care in Cortina is not a school affair. There are scores of private babysitters and services available through the hotels or private homes where skiers stay. Child-care services are relatively inexpensive, and children seem to get more than their share of affection from the Italians who take care of them. The ski school also runs a children’s ski course for those old enough to begin skiing.

The following is just a sampling of the programs that are available.

Dolomiti Paradise (0436 881811, fax 0436 867333, giscortina@dolomiti.org) at the Olympic Ice Stadium, is both a solarium and a children's playground. Open every day from 10.00am to 6.00pm.

Gulliver Park (340 0558399, gulliverparkcortina@yahoo.com) runs a baby-sitting service in addition to the inflatable games, slides and other facilities. It's close to the slopes in Pocol. Also sunbathing area and a restaurant are nearby the game park.
