Delicious Festival Dolomiti

Set in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, the Delicious Festival Dolomiti returns as an unmissable event celebrating sport, gastronomy and local tradition. Created by the Cortina Delicious team, the festival showcases the outstanding natural beauty and culinary excellence of Cortina d’Ampezzo through a rich and engaging programme.

At the heart of the festival are the trail running races: the tenth edition of the Delicious Trail Dolomiti, together with the Short, Medium and Mini Delicious Trail. These spectacular routes wind through mountain refuges and iconic alpine scenery, offering an immersive sporting experience where endurance and breathtaking landscapes come together with every step.

The festival opens on Friday 25 September with the official inauguration at the PalaDelicious in Pocol. The evening is dedicated to exceptional food, featuring creations by the Chef Team Cortina. On Saturday 26 September, the highlight of the festival, the festival village comes alive throughout the day with tastings, special events and authentic local flavours, as restaurants and mountain huts from across the region serve a selection of carefully prepared dishes.

The celebrations continue into the evening with live music, DJ sets and entertainment, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Open to everyone from 10.00 am, the PalaDelicious becomes the beating heart of the festival.

An experience to be enjoyed with all the senses, where sport, nature and fine dining come together to create unforgettable memories.
