About Alta Badia
Alta Badia is the gastronomic heart of the Dolomiti Superski network — a collection of six picturesque Ladin-speaking villages (Corvara, Colfosco, La Villa, San Cassiano, Badia, and La Val) set beneath the dramatic pale rock towers of the Dolomites, where the skiing is matched by a mountain dining culture that includes Michelin-starred rifugios serving tasting menus at 2,000m. The resort's 130km of local piste is predominantly intermediate terrain: wide, impeccably groomed blue and red runs that sweep across sun-drenched plateaux with views of the Sella massif, Sassongher, and the Fanes-Senes-Braies nature park. Alta Badia is a key entry point to the Sella Ronda circuit and, with the Dolomiti Superski pass, connects to over 1,200km of skiing across the region. The annual Gran Risa World Cup giant slalom brings world-class racing to La Villa each December. For US skiers, Alta Badia represents the quintessential Italian Dolomites experience: the combination of Ladin cultural heritage, extraordinary food (the 'Gourmet Skisafari' route links rifugios with starred chefs), scenic grandeur, and perfectly maintained intermediate terrain is unmatched anywhere in the skiing world.
