ALTA BADIA
Alta Badia, one of the four valleys surrounding the Sella Massif and one of the five Ladin valleys, is an alpine area made up of the charming mountain villages of Corvara, La Villa, San Cassiano, Colfosco, Badia and La Val, just a few miles apart from one another.
Recognized as one of the leading tourist destinations in the Alps, Alta Badia stands out for its breathtaking Dolomite scenery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its unspoiled natural landscapes, outstanding hospitality and high-quality cuisine that skillfully blends traditional recipes with modern flavors.
With 130 km of ski slopes and state-of-the-art lift systems, Alta Badia is one of the most popular destinations for skiers from around the world. In addition to being part of Dolomiti Superski, the largest ski area in the world, Alta Badia’s slopes are directly connected to the Sellaronda, one of the most iconic and beloved ski circuits for both experienced and recreational skiers.
In summer, scenic walks immersed in nature and modern infrastructures both at altitude and in the valley make it possible to enjoy a wide variety of sports at any age. Lift systems and mountain huts remain open during the summer season as well, allowing even less sporty visitors to fully experience the mountains.
The inhabitants of Val Badia belong to an ethnic minority with its own official language, Ladin. Even today, around 90% of Alta Badia’s population speaks Ladin as their mother tongue. Ladin culture and traditions are among the oldest in Europe and worldwide, rooted in Rhaeto-Romanic origins, like Italian, Spanish and Catalan. The valley is officially trilingual, with place names displayed in Ladin, German and Italian.
Located in the very heart of Alta Badia, the Movimënt area is a magical place to create unforgettable memories in every season, combining sport, fun and relaxation in a truly unique alpine setting.
