Dale of Norway | Cortina 1956 Sweater | Unisex
Dale of Norway Cortina 1956 Sweater — Unisex
The Cortina 1956 is one of the defining designs in Norwegian ski-sweater history. Originally created as Dale of Norway's first official Olympic sweater for the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, the pattern has become one of the brand's most recognizable classics.
This version stays close to that heritage, using durable Norwegian wool and a traditional unisex silhouette.
The Ruthie's Run edit
If you want the most iconic Dale of Norway look, Cortina 1956 is the reference point. It feels completely at home in Lake Placid—authentic ski heritage, strong graphic patterning, and the kind of wool knit that looks better because it is unmistakably traditional.

From Ruthie's Run in Lake Placid: This is the sweater for the customer who wants true ski-history provenance rather than a modern interpretation of it.
