About the area

Alta Badia offers 127 km of pistes in the Dolomites, and the split explains who it fits: 72 km of blue runs against just 4 km of black, about 4 percent of the terrain. With 8 magic carpets and some 50 nursery runs, it is a straightforward place to learn, and families move around easily thanks to 11 gondolas. Strong skiers looking for steep terrain will find little here, and the maximum vertical on a single run is 670 m.

Corvara in Badia and Badia are ski-in/ski-out, with lifts roughly 214 m and 254 m from the village; La Villa (1,477 m) and Colfosco (1,645 m) involve a short walk. Slopes run from 1,340 m to 2,525 m, and the longest descent measures 3 km. There are 59 lifts, 29 of them chairlifts, plus 16 km of cross-country trails. The area is part of Dolomiti Superski; the 2025/26 season opens on 4 December 2025.
