With six villages to choose from, accommodation in Alta Badia is varied. With access to the greatest volume of skiing, Corvara is the obvious village to select for avid skiers. This pleasant, relaxed village enjoys a spectacular setting with nowhere in the main village more than 500m from the main lift base. The upper half of the village is also close to the Col Alto gondola.

Also convenient for access to the ski area is Colfosco at 1645m, which lies on the Sella Ronda circuit and has several Alta Badia ski chalets next to the slopes.

San Cassiano (1545m) is a quiet village with lodgings spreading up a sunny hillside. Bigger than the other villages, La Villa (1430m) offers a range of accommodation and has a swimming pool and natural ice skating lake. La Val (1348m) is popular in spring and autumn for its impressive number of hiking trails, whilst Badia (1324m) is a rustic, traditional village, perfect for a tranquil luxury ski holiday in Alta Badia.

One of our favourite retreats is Casa Feroze in Colfosco, a stand-alone chalet just 40 metres from the piste with direct access to the Sella Ronda circuit. Couples will love the cosy mountain retreat Mi Chalet. Totally unique, this contemporary property offers incredible mountain views and in summer a swimming pool. If you love interiors, then the modern Chalet Mi Amur in La Villa is a stunning contemporary property.

The region boasts a selection of top-notch resorts that provide a perfect blend of cosy comfort and world-class amenities, so after an exhilarating day on the slopes, you can retreat to your luxurious abode and unwind in style.

Best Bars & Restaurants in Alta Badia

Alta Badia is extremely proud of its gastronomic scene with four Michelin stars within a 15 km area; three stars for Norbert Niederkofler from the St. Hubertus restaurant at Hotel Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano and one star for Nicola Laera from the La Stüa de Michil restaurant in Hotel La Perla, Corvara.

However, there are also some superb restaurants serving delicious local Ladin cuisine. I Tabla is just one example; serving hearty plates of homemade dumplings, barley soup and polenta with sausage, this is Ladin cuisine at its best. At Piz Boe Alpine Lounge, you have a choice between a formal à la carte menu served in an elegant dining room, or a choice of traditional flavours such as polenta, pasta or gnocchi in a self-service area. Another favourite for local dishes is Maso Runch in the rustic village of Badia. For impressive views try Utia Las Vegas and for the best pizza, Fornella in Corvara is a must.

Alta Badia has plenty of fun bars and cosy taverns where you can enjoy a tipple or two. Traditional apres-ski drinks in this region include eggnog with hot milk or cream, a Pinecone Schnapps or the famed “Jargetee” made from rum, sugar, black tea and herbs. On the run down to San Cassiano, Utia de Bioch is a great place to stop for a couple of beers or a glass of wine. For a more ‘après’ vibe, L’Murin is a favourite among locals with DJs and themed parties throughout the season. For more refined après, look no further than L’Got, a stylish bar serving cocktails, infused gin and an excellent selection of wines.

If you’re looking for late-night entertainment then an evening at Club Moritzino is a must. Situated at 2,100m above sea level, Moritzino hosts the ultimate Alpine party every Wednesday and Saturday night. Reached via the cable car or a snowcat, enjoy a delicious dinner and dancing before returning on foot or by snowcat to the village of La Villa.

Mountain bike enthusiasts can tackle high-octane mountain biking at the Bike Beat Trails, but if you want to take things a little easier then why not rent an E-bike from one of the sharing points dotted around Col Alt, Piz La Ila and Piz Sorega. With hairpin bends and Dolomite passes providing ideal training conditions, road cycling is also popular here.
