Ski-in/ski-out

Alta Badia is a string of Ladin villages (Corvara, San Cassiano, La Villa) with hotels on the snow-front at the heart of the Sella Ronda circuit.

Get to know the resort

Alta Badia gathers Corvara, San Cassiano and La Villa into 130 km of immaculately groomed piste in the Italian Dolomites, all on the giant Dolomiti Superski pass and the legendary Sella Ronda circuit. The skiing is mostly broad and intermediate, but the real draw is the lunchtime stop: more Michelin stars per kilometre than anywhere else in the Alps. Long, gentle red runs, pale Dolomite peaks at every turn and unhurried Ladin culture make it as much a culinary trip as a ski one.
