Winter holiday in Alta Badia: Situated in a natural basin at the foot of the Sella massif, surrounded by numerous peaks that all have their own unique shape but still have the characteristic jagged shape of the Dolomites, Alta Badia offers its visitors a multitude of appearances.

It 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 the ski vacation in 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.

And let’s not forget the joys of the palate that range from local cookery to high class international cuisine.

130 km of best prepared slopes linked togheter by 51 modern lifts, the direct ski connection to more than 500 km of slopes in the ski area around the Sella massif and an avant-garde snowmaking system. And not to be forgotten, the appointment with the big international sport events: the Alpine Ski World Cup Men's Giant Slalom and the Sellaronda Skimarathon.

Throughout the summer in Alta Badia, get away from it all amidst the unspoilt, natural world of the Puez - Odle and the Fanes - Sennes - Braies nature reserves or walking through the high planes of Pralongià - Cherz and Armentara.

Sports lovers are spoilt for choice: walks and Vie Ferrate (iron walk ways), fitness runs, golf courses, alpine guide centres, sports fields, paragliding schools , horse riding, cycling routes and more. Dedicated to all the bicycle lovers, is the most important Summer sport event in Alta Badia - the Maratona dles Dolomites
