In reply to Nicholaus:
We've done separate trips to Cortina and Corvara and probably preferred the routes around Corvara, but it seems like you may have done them already.
Had a nice week in Riva del Garda which is more touristy, did 3 or 4 VF and a bit of relaxation, ice cream etc.
+1 for Briancon, some great 'sports' style routes which are shorter and strenuous. Also lovely area for hiking and other outdoor adventures.
