Stay in Pocol

Pocol is the exception to Cortina's bus-and-boots habit. It is also a drive from the passeggiata, so do not book it for people who want to wander out to dinner.

A hamlet on the Falzarego road

Moonhoney places Pocol at about 1,530 metres, southwest of town, a 15-minute drive, where the road to Passo Falzarego meets the road toward Passo Giau. That is the setting: higher, quieter, and a car or a shuttle if you want Corso Italia.

Hotel Tofana Cortina's own site puts the hotel at Pocol 40, on Rosà slope 23, with the Olimpia chair a few metres from the ski room. The garage is included. A free shuttle runs to the centre from 8:30 to 20:00 every 30 minutes. The board is three-quarter: breakfast, an afternoon snack, and dinner. This is not Hotel Tofana in San Cassiano, which is a different valley.

The simpler houses

Hotel Piccolo Pocol's own page, at Pocol 43/44, says the house is 100 metres from the pistes and 10 minutes by car from the centre, and that Hotel Argentina manages it. The photograph on this page is Hotel Villa Argentina in snow. We are not calling Villa Argentina ski-in. We are showing the building Piccolo Pocol names as its parent house.

Ciasa Vervei's site is live. Moonhoney describes eight rooms in Vervei, near Pocol, with a restaurant, on the edge of the Tofana slopes. That room count is Moonhoney's, updated 25 September 2026, not a figure we counted ourselves.

Questions

Can I stay in Pocol without a car?

Only if the hotel shuttle is real and frequent enough for how you like to eat. Hotel Tofana Cortina publishes a shuttle every 30 minutes until 20:00. A house that does not publish one assumes a car.

Is Pocol good in summer?

Moonhoney likes it as a hiking base because Falzarego, Giau and the Croda da Lago road are close by car. It is a poor choice if the holiday is the town.

Where do I read about the skiing?

On skicortina.org. This page stops at the door of the hotel.
