Overview
Reaching Alta Badia in winter means reaching the heart of the legendary Dolomites, where the slopes are superbly equipped and the landscape will take your breath away.
Holidays are perfect for the whole family in this part of South Tyrol, and those who love skiing will have plenty to enjoy. The ski area gives access to the Sellaronda circuit or the four-pass tour around the rocky Sella Massif. Try skiing for entire days without ever repeating the same slope, it is quite exhilarating.
Alta Badia enjoys a privileged position within the large ski area known as Dolomiti Superski, between Colfosco, Corvara and La Val. It has 130 kilometres of ski slopes, 53 ski lifts, one snow park with three different levels of difficulty, 30 kilometres of cross-country ski runs and toboggan runs. Try a night hike for an unforgettable experience in the snow.
The slopes in this area are located between 1,300 and 2,778 metres above sea level and the snow is always monitored and present from November to April.
Although the ski resort is very modern and well-equipped, its history goes far back. Skiing has been a traditional sport here ever since the first Italian chairlift was built in 1947, the Col Alto in Corvara.
Everything has changed since then, with considerably smaller wait times, as well as fewer crowds on the slopes. The lifts are served by modern cable cars, chairlifts and ski lifts, making it one of the best equipped and most efficient ski areas in the industry.
Skiing in Alta Badia is designed for everyone, both adults and children alike, but experienced skiers choose it more than anyone else because it is the premier destination for a mountain holiday. The first winter tourists had already begun to come here in the years following the First World War, seeking refuge and relaxation. The first ski school was founded in Corvara in the 1930s and the first ski lift was built at Col Alto in 1938, a sled track.
When the snow melts in Alta Badia, it gives way to incredible landscapes and a mild, pleasant climate. The ski lifts become the starting point for pleasant hikes, high-altitude trekking and mountain-bike trails. The icing on the cake is the silence and tranquillity of the forests that will turn your summer holiday into a true retreat.
With quite a diverse offer, if you think you might grow bored here, we assure you that you’re mistaken. From rock climbing to horseback riding, from paragliding to fishing, from Nordic walking to relaxing in one of the valley's spas: every day in Alta Badia will be a new discovery. Yes, even in summer.
