How to book a taxi in Cortina d’Ampezzo
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of BL
To book a taxi in Cortina d’Ampezzo, call the radio taxi at 0436 860888. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Cortina d'Ampezzo the simplest and most reliable way to find a taxi is to call the local radiotaxi service directly, since it is not customary to find cars waiting at taxi ranks along the streets as in big cities. The only genuine radiotaxi cooperative serving the Cortina d'Ampezzo basin and the province of Belluno is Taxi Cortina Dolomiti (Con.T.A.C. Services), reachable at 0436 860888, operating daily for at least 18 hours with a fleet of 15 vehicles, some 4x4s and minivans seating up to 8 passengers. Alongside the radiotaxi service, numerous local NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) companies operate, widely used for scheduled transfers to/from Venezia and Treviso airports, the Calalzo and Dobbiaco railway stations, and the ski lifts. As one of the most prestigious and exclusive ski resorts in the Alps, host in February 2026 of the bobsleigh, luge and skeleton events of the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, taxi demand is very high during peak season: booking ahead is always the safest choice. None of the major national ride-hailing apps, on the other hand, appears to operate consistently in town.

Apps to call a taxi in Cortina d’Ampezzo
| Uber — There is no stable, operational Uber Taxi/Black service in Cortina.

Cortina was not among the 6 Veneto cities included in the February 2024 Uber Black/Van/Taxi launch (Mestre-Venezia, Vicenza, Padova, Treviso, Verona, San Donà di Piave). Uber's "city" and "car rental" pages dedicated to Cortina are standard, automatically generated generic pages, not proof of an actual local driver network. | Not available |

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo (VCE) · ~162 km from the center
There is no fixed municipal fare for the airport-Cortina connection, since it is an out-of-town route of over 150 km. Private/NCC transfers (e.g. Taxi Cortina Sci) charge quoted fares, indicatively between 300€ and 400€ per car/minivan ride from Venezia Marco Polo, varying by night-time hours, season and weather; it's always worth getting phone confirmation of the price before departure. Alternatively, there are dedicated shuttles such as Cortina Express Fly Bus, cheaper but with fixed timetables tied to the season.
Practical tips
- Book well in advance during peak season periods (Christmas-New Year, February, Ferragosto in mid-August): Cortina is one of the most exclusive ski destinations in the Dolomiti, and the local radiotaxi fleet is limited compared to tourist demand.
- In the historic center along Corso Italia there is a permanent pedestrian ZTL (limited traffic zone): authorized taxis can still access it to pick up/drop off passengers, but it's more practical to arrange a pickup point by phone.
- For transfers to/from Venezia or Treviso airports (over 140 km) there is no fixed municipal fare: always ask the radiotaxi or the NCC for a phone quote before departing, and check for any night-time surcharges (20:00-7:00) or bad-weather surcharges.
- No national ride-hailing app (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, etc.) appears to be operational in Cortina: the only reliable channel is calling the radiotaxi Taxi Cortina Dolomiti directly at 0436 860888.
- The extraordinary restrictions linked to the 2026 Olympics (extended ZTL and mandatory car pass) ended with the closing of the Games; however, the new Eugenio Monti Olympic bobsleigh, luge and skeleton track remains, now a permanent tourist attraction with tours and taxi-bob experiences.
Frequently asked questions
How can I call a taxi in Cortina d'Ampezzo?
Simply call the radiotaxi Taxi Cortina Dolomiti (Con.T.A.C. Services) at 0436 860888, in service at least 18 hours a day with a fleet of 15 vehicles, some 4x4s and minivans seating up to 8. Alternatively, you can book a transfer with one of the local NCC companies for scheduled rides (airports, stations, mountain huts).
Is it true that Uber came to Cortina for the 2026 Olympics?
During the Olympic and Paralympic Games (February-March 2026) Uber launched special temporary initiatives such as "Uber Snowmobile" and "Uber Ski", tied exclusively to the competition period. There is no confirmation of a stable Uber Taxi/Black service in Cortina in the months that followed: Uber's "city" pages dedicated to Cortina are automatically generated and do not prove actual coverage by local drivers.
How much does a taxi from Venezia airport to Cortina cost?
There is no fixed municipal fare for such a long route (over 150 km). Private/NCC transfers generally charge a quoted price, indicatively between 300€ and 400€ per car or minivan ride, varying by night-time hours, season and weather conditions: it's always worth getting phone confirmation of the cost before departing.
Is there a ZTL in Cortina that limits taxi access?
Yes, the historic center along Corso Italia is a pedestrian zone with a permanent ZTL, but authorized taxis can still access it for passenger pick-up and drop-off. During the 2026 Olympics an extraordinary, much wider ZTL with a mandatory car pass was also in effect (Pass Auto Territori Milano Cortina 2026), but this temporary restriction ended with the closing of the Games.
Is it worth booking a taxi in advance during peak season?
Yes, strongly recommended. Cortina is one of the most exclusive and prestigious ski destinations in the Dolomiti (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and during peak periods - Christmas, New Year, February, Ferragosto - demand for taxis and NCC services can exceed local supply, which has a limited radiotaxi fleet (15 vehicles). It's best to call or book a few days in advance.
