Alta Badia

Gorgeous Alta Badia, sometimes also called the High Abbey, is a region in the heart of the Dolomites, encompassing the Ladin villages of Corvara, Badia/Badia, La Valle/La Val with imposing peaks like the Sellastock, Sassongher, and Kreuzkofel, as well as the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park and the Puez Odle Nature Park, are worth visiting year-round. What makes this region special is not only the unique Dolomite landscape but also the language as Ladin is spoken by the vast majority in Alta Badia !

Very good location for hiking in the summer. We stayed in Corvara and took the lifts there to different locations everyday

A picturesque gem in the Dolomites, one of my favorites! Stunning landscapes, world-class skiing, and rich Ladin culture. A perfect blend of outdoor adventure and gourmet experiences, with excellent trails, slopes, and Michelin-starred restaurants. Whether winter or summer, it does not matter - an unforgettable destination!

Our favourite family ski zone.

Wow! stayed in Covara over Xmas 22 For 7 days for a family skiing trip. There is plenty of skiing to suit all abilities. Good lift system and loads of great food huts on the mountains. We loved skiing the sellaronda in both directions. The views and scenery are amazing. Will definitely revisit in the future

Wonderful time spent here: perfect ski slopes, wonderful landscapes, delicious food and friendly staff everywhere.

Awesome place for skiing. Have been there in march during work days so slopes were not full at all.

Our first visit and what a beautiful place…we will definitely be back. Great walks and treks and wonderful people….ciao Bella Italia.

In 2010 I came here for 4 days to snowboard with friends and fell in love with the breathtaking view of the Dolomites. No wonder Unesco declared these mountains as a world heritage! Alta Badia is considered as the top ski resort for beginners/ intermediate because more than 50% of the pistes are piste azzurre (blue =beginner runs. Equivalent to green slopes in America) and 40 % of the pistes are red/medium-difficulty. It would be an understatement to say Alta Badia has plenty of lifts.... there are more than 50 lifts! The reason why it has so many lifts is because Alta Badia is made of 6 villages - Corvara, Colfosco, La Villa, San Cassiano, Padraces, & Sella Ronda. These villages are all linked together so you can ski at any of them except Sella Ronda. Padraces is considered the easiest pistes and Sella Ronda is known for more challenging runs but you need the Superski pass to get a direct access. There are nearly 100 slopes and the snow condition is fantastic!! I personally prefer Obereggen more but Alta Badia is just as fun and beautiful, and perhaps has better apre-ski scene. P.S.- At the mountain huts, try the delicious goulash!!!
