"Camminapietre"
The “Camminapietre” are stones from the Dolomites, decorated and beautified by children. They symbolize nature’s generous gift, which offers us so much and which we should take with respect and then return. If you come across one on your path, don’t take it home, but keep it carefully and hide it in a new spot so someone else can discover it. Observe the landscape around you closely and find your colorful stone.

Dolomite-Stamps
The Dolomite Stamps are back at the FUNzone Edelweiss! This summer, embark on an unforgettable adventure in the Dolomites: stop by the “Colfosco” lift to pick up your map and start the legendary hunt for the 7 stamps scattered throughout the FUNzone Edelweiss. Whether you choose to explore on foot or take the lifts, each stop will bring you closer to winning the amazing DOLOMITIC T-SHIRT. Once you’ve collected all the stamps, return to the “Colfosco” lift to claim your prize and don’t miss the chance to experience the magic of the Dolomites while taking home a truly special memory!

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 cross-country area Corvara winds through sunny meadows and woods. The routes start at the Corvara ski school and lead to the neighbourhood of Pescosta. They are prepared for the classic discipline and for skating, have little difference in elevation and are therefore also suitable for beginners.

La Sbinga
The new highlight of this summer is “La Sbinga,” a Ladin word meaning swing: a special spot to sit and enjoy the simple pleasure of swinging while admiring the majestic Sella group. Located above the Plans-Frara lift station, La Sbinga will take you back to childhood, leaving you enchanted by the magic of the landscape.

Le Banch
At the summit of Col Pradat, you’ll find Le Banch, a giant bench whose name means “bench” in Ladin. Crafted from larch wood and adorned with edelweiss carved from fragrant Swiss pine, it measures 2 meters high and 3.5 meters long. It invites you to sit and soak in a view that completely surrounds you. From here, your gaze drifts across the mountains, leaving you feeling embraced by a breathtaking wonder.

Many centuries ago, when Alta Badia was still largely uninhabited, La Crusc (Holy Cross) seems to have been a pagan place of worship. It was probably the unfavourable living conditions of the area that led the first Christians to construct a sanctuary here.

Around 1010 the monks built a chapel at La Crusc where a small church was erected in the 15th century. At the end of the 17th century the church was deconsecrated by the then Austrian Emperor and was subsequently left to decay. Pilgrims and valley dwellers rescued the little church by partially rebuilding it, and some years later in the middle of the 18th century it was enlarged and embellished with a bell tower.

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.

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 slope is prearranged as agonistic and training area through the beautiful woods of San Cassiano.
