The ski lift in San Cassiano - Armentarola district is the link between the WW1 ski circuit and the Skicarosello ski area in Alta Badia.
On the site of a small workshop that was to be demolished, next to the existing barn, a larger studio and garage were to be built. The site was to change as little as possible; the new building was to enlarge the existing structure of the farm and its size integrated into the surroundings. The entrance is under the barn bridge, which is on the same level as the new studio’s gallery and thus establishes a link between the two buildings. The garage below is equally unseen from the street, as is the entire height of the studio − both of which are accessible from the courtyard below. The new structures were built of concrete, with an insulated outer shell made of vertical larch cladding. The roof is likewise made of larch wood and has a large studio window on the northern side. The interior of the workshop has been kept white and decorated with light-colored wood.
The Sodlisia chairlift in Colfosco village serves two blue slopes suitable for beginners. Along of one of the slopes the ski lift company Colfosco have installed the "Kids Funpark Colfosco", a park designed for younger skiers. Here, amid arches, jumps, tunnels and obstacles, they will learn to skiing and snowboarding in an easy and safe way. And, not to be forgotten, a lot of fun is guaranteed.
An easy ski mountaineering excursion on a groomed path which, after an initial stretch of woodland, soon gives you a way to a magnificent landscape, with the Putia mountain and the Gherdenacia plateau being the first ones to be seen during the ascent. A little higher up, the white enchantment of the Armentara meadows awaits you, one of the wonders of Alta Badia, with the imposing Sas dla Crusc peeping out. On the final ascent, the spectacular landscape also includes the majestic Sassongher and the Sella Group.

Alta Badia is a true treasure trove of wonders, containing masterpieces sculpted by Nature itself—from the most majestic, shaped over millennia, to the more delicate and ephemeral ones, yet persistent due to their cyclical nature. Among these stands out the snow cave, located at the foot of Cima Dieci, inviting you to discover a natural phenomenon of icy and pristine beauty, revealing the frozen heart of a cave adorned with impressive wavy walls, patiently sculpted season after season.
The cave continues to grow in size in the summer: the narrow hollow carved out by the stream is filled with cold air which is denser and therefore heavier than the summer air outside. This in turn sets off an inverted chimney effect: the heavy cold air sinks down to the bottom of the cave, giving rise to a strong draught from the top to the bottom of the snow cave. Warm summer air is now drawn into the cave from the upper openings, causing the cave to melt from within.
In the meantime, the warm is cooled by the ice and thus flows out through the lower opening as heavy air. This effect can continue for months, melting an ever larger cavity in the ice.
Access to the cave is officially prohibited. You may approach the entrance to take photos, but be cautious of the risk of falling rocks.
The shop / rental offers the following services:
MTB, road bike rental and kids' bike rental; MTB and road bike parts and accessories; specialised workshop and food supplements
For a long time the existence of La Crusc as a place of pilgrimage had been established on the basis of documents from the year 1511. And then two further parchment documents emerged with evidence pointing to an earlier existence. The first mentioned a church consecration; the second contained the story of “Morellus de Caninis” who made a pilgrimage to Rome in 1500 in order to seek favours for the La Crusc church.
Numerous relics are preserved in the altar of the church, such as those of St Leonhard (to whom the parish church of San Leonardo/Badia is dedicated), St Hippolitus, St Virgilius (Bishop of Salzburg), St Mary Magdalena, St Agnes and St Barbara.
Nowadays there are several processions to the church during the summer season, and there is an important service on the first Sunday in June.
The 8-seater chairlift Costoratta departing from Campolongo Pass is an important connection in the Sellaronda, the most famous ski excursion in the Dolomites.

The ski tour through the Mezdí Valley is one of the classics among the off-piste itineraries in the Dolomites. The tour runs from south to north and is characterized by a short crossing of the Sella massif with only little difference in height, and by a steep and technical descent to Colfosco, through this narrow valley in the middle of the rocks.

The circuit crosses the 4 Dolomite passes - Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena - and 5 famous resorts: Corvara and Colfosco in Alta Badia, Arabba, Canazei and Selva di Val Gardena. In 2020, the Sellaronda was awarded the title of 'best ski tour' by the portal skiresort.de. Alta Badia is the ideal starting point to begin the tour, which can be done clockwise or anticlockwise: either way, you will cross 40 km of beauty and enchantment, surrounded by the extraordinary Dolomite landscapes. Clockwise the signs are orange, anticlockwise green. The slopes are suitable for skiers of average experience in good physical condition. For those who wish to dare more, there are some 'disgressions', such as the Gran Risa giant slalom slope in La Villa in Alta Badia or the Saslong descent in Santa Cristina in Val Gardena. To complete the Sellaronda, one must calculate about 6 hours between descents, ascents and breaks included.

The Capanna Nera ski lift starts right above the village of Corvara in the direction of Passo Campolongo. A light (blue) slope runs down next to the ski lift, which is particularly suitable for children and beginners. On the side of the piste you will also find a speed check course with time measurement. Since it is without poles and gates and has a minimal incline, it can be mastered absolute safely. It's a lot of fun skiing down as fast as you can and measuring your own time like a ski champion.
