Welcome to the skiing paradise in the heart of the Dolomites, where imposing summits reach the sky and soft, white meadows frame the horizon.Alta Badia is a multitude of appearances, its is certainly the kingdom of the bold peaks that incite adventure, but it is also an enchanted land where the mountains are tinged with pink at dusk and where there is an aura of mystery and magic.
It is the silence of its solitary summits and the joy of its laughing peoples. Here you can isolate yourself for hours at a time immersed in this unspoilt beauty following the footprints of history or you can dedicate your day to sport or simply to relaxation.
You will love Alta Badia, the fatherland of the Ladin people, the most ancient Raetoroman population of the alpine range, differing not only in language but in its proud, secular tradition of agriculture and crafts.
Accommodation and recreation infrastructures of a very high level and tour operators of a high professionalism have helped to make Alta Badia one of the most sought after tourist centres in the Alps.
Not to be missed:
* the sunny and perfect prepared ski slopes and the direct ski connection with the other valleys around the Sella Massif (more than 500 km of slopes).
* the ancient tradition in offering first class food and excellent wines
