Summary of the ski resort Alta Badia

Description Alta Badia

In the heart of the Sellaronda lies the Alta Badia ski area, which you pass through during the Sellaronda (the circuit around the Sella massif). Even as a standalone ski area, this region is impressive. Not to be forgotten is the Gran Risa run down to La Villa.

Alta Badia mostly offers easy runs above the tree line, which can be easily mastered even by less experienced skiers. From the Grödener Joch, you can reach Colfosco and explore the Edelweisstal, which is served by two eight-seater gondolas, a detachable four-seater chairlift, and several drag lifts.

From here, you can take the modern eight-seater gondolas Plans and Frara back up towards the Grödener Joch. To get to Corvara and back, you use the eight-seater gondola Borest, as the terrain there is very flat and there is no piste.

In Corvara itself, the gondola departs up to Piz Boe, where you can connect to the Vallon double chairlift up to 2550 m and continue to Passo Campolongo towards Arabba. If you take the Costes da l’Ega four-seater chairlift up towards Alta Badia’s local mountain, you’ll find a gently sloping plateau. Up here, a good dozen chairlifts and lifts operate between Pralongià, Punta Trieste, Biok, Arlara, La Brancia, Col Alto, Piz Sorega, and you can also reach Piz La Villa, from where the Gran Risa starts down to La Villa.

Thanks to the Colz four-seater chairlift, you can easily switch to the other side in La Villa, as further chairlifts lead from there to Badia and up to S. Croce at 2043 m. Here, the slopes are usually empty and you have comfortable lifts, such as the detachable four-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods Santa Croce and the connecting lift Pradüc. Beginners will also find their area in La Villa at the Doninz four-seater chairlift.

The transition to the Arabba ski area is seamless, and you can either ski via La Vizza-Cherz or Piz Boé to Passo Campolongo. Wide and perfectly groomed runs also lead down to St. Kassian, from where you can take a modern eight-seater gondola back up to Piz Sorega. From Armentarola, a district of St. Kassian, you can hire a taxi to take you up to Passo Falzarego, giving you access to the Cortina d’Ampezzo ski area.

From Passo Falzarego, you can take the cable car up to the 2800 m high Lagazuoi and from there enjoy a wonderful long run back down to Armentarola, bringing you back into the Alta Badia area. To get to Wolkenstein (Gröden), you take four-seater chairlifts and eight-seater gondolas from Corvara and Colfosco over the Grödener Joch and the Dantercepies.
