Gaining speed on snow waves, keeping the knee muscles active and carving through banked curves with loads of flow. Is not the giant slalom on the Gran Risa slope in Alta Badia but the speed alternative for every ski enthusiast: the Funcross La Para!
The funcross track is a home to skilled carvers as well as speed-enthusiastic racers thanks to its two starting points.
The first of them sends motivated winter athletes over high-speed snow waves, whereas the other one challenges skiers and snowboarders with banked curves and directional changes. Either way - the flow is guaranteed both ways which expand over 600 meters in total.

It is time to start! Take one last breath after the exit from the chairlift Biok and GO!
You generate speed before even hitting the first four snow waves thanks to a powerful start. Slack knees and a compact posture definitely help preparing for rapid waves and the first banked curve. After this, you are facing two more waves and a banked turn chicane followed by a jump that is best handled Dominik-Paris-style before getting back into position. Now, this part merges with the second Funcross part of La Para. Dash across the last waves, banked curves and a final jump before finishing with slightly burning legs.
Nevertheless, your Funcross La Para experience has not come to an end yet. Take the t-bar lift La Para and head over to the second starting point of the Funcross where carving fans finally find their satisfaction: Taking on dynamic banked curves, you will experience a flow of different kind. And of course, a final jump must not be missed before both compartments merge. One Funcross. Double Experience. This is the Funcross La Para. Double the flow!

So, what are you waiting for? This unique race experience is accessible via the Piz Sorega lift, the Biok chairlift and La Para t-bar lift.

This chapel was built in 1993 at a very leisurely place at the feet of the "Sas Dlacia" behind the camping area. It is dedicated to the Madonna of Lourdes.

The donations from visitors have already been used to build a draw well in Africa.

Families which have owned the same land for more than 200 years are awarded a "Deed of inheritance" by the Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol. The Nagler family has been honoured in this way.

The original name was "Murin da Coz" because grain from the Coz farm was milled ("murin" means mill in Ladin) here. The oldest written documents mention Hof Palua (The Palua farm) in about 1566, Pares in 1780 and finally Murin. The first settlement can be dated 1296; the saw and the grain mill probably needed water power. In 1771 the "Brochia" family from Longiarü settled here. In common with many other family names in Val Badia, "Brochia" was reinvented in German, in this case, as "Nagler".

In those days priests as well judges came from places outside Ladinia and they could not speak Ladin which led them to renaming their family names; most written documents were set out in German or Italian. Before 1800 the Ladin language was used relatively rarely in written documents.

Now the Murin farm is private and can be visited outside doing the culture trail in Badia.

Alta Badia, also known as the Gourmet Valley in the Dolomites, has been awarded for years by the leading gastronomy guides. And indeed, in Alta Badia you can find four Michelin stars on just 15 square kilometers.

For years, high-quality gastronomy has been one of the most important aspects of Alta Badia's tourist offer so you will be able to satisfy the joys of the palate both, in the valley as well as at the top of the mountain and on the ski slopes.

Sompunt is located between Badia and La Villa and was an important residence for the families Mayrhofen and Koburg (rich families in the 19th century).
The house was already mentioned in the year 1296 and it is painted with decorations of the 16th century.

Today the house is privat and inhabited.

Situated in the sports area in La Villa.

Equipped with 2 synthetic red clay courts.

If we take the path above the Church in Badia, after about half an hour, we arrive at a junction; one road leads to Valgiarëi and the other to Sotciastel. The name of this farm is easy to  explain; the Ciastel farm is further above. As it's the case in many other places the name of the settlement below is given with the preposition "sot" (below).

In the 1980s Sotciastel became famous as the result of research carried out by the University of Trento in cooperation with the Provincial Monument Office and the Ladin Cultural Institute "Micurá de Rü". These excavations proved that a Bronze Age settlement including permanent living quarters once stood here. The kind of articles found: parts of weaving looms, kitchen implements, agricultural tools, jewellery, pins and awls lead us to believe that the settlement was agricultural and pastoral, was inhabited the whole year round and that above all sheep, goats, oxen and cattle were reared.

The settlement in Sotciastel appears to have been one of the first in the valley where people lived for a longer period of time.

The "Ciasanöia" is the old tavern and was an important meeting point for the residents of Badia.

It is similar to a castel and was built in 1614 for the nuns of Sonnenburg (Castel near Brunico). It was the seat of this Domination.

Today the house is privat and not open for the public.

The parish church Saint Catherine of Alexandria, mentioned in 1347 and consecrated in 1452, is the first church of Corvara. In the small church, built in late gothic style, you can admire some admirable works of art.

For example, there are some frescoes and a winged altar dating back to 1520, the only well-preserved winged altar in the Val Badia valley. The altar was realized by the workshop of Ruprecht Potsch and was restored in 1975. The legend tells, that the landscape paintings on the two panels of the altar are by the famous painter Titian, who was probably in Corvara for a short time. Art experts attribute the work to an artist from the so-called Danube School, Albrecht Altdorfer.

Around the church there is, as usual in our alpine area, the town cemetery.

An innovative Action & Fun Area is presented under the umbrella brand “Funzone Edelweiss”, which combines a speed track, a kids slopestyle and a funline. While the Funline guarantees a new action experience for everyone with its steep curves, waves tracks, jumps and other obstacles, the Kids Slopestyle offers a snow park concept especially designed for children and beginners. On the staged slopestyle course with jumps and different rail geometries, winter athletes of all skill levels can get a taste of the “freestyle world” and train different types of jumps.

Starting from the upper station of the Sodlisia lift, the Sellaronda Funline is perfect for beginners and families. Jumps, banked turns, waves, snow tunnels, and fun obstacles create a unique trail that guarantees emotions and unforgettable memories.

In winter, the Edelweiss Valley is especially popular for leisurely skiers and families.

In summer, one of the most popular entrances to the Nature Park is the Edelweiss Valley in Colfosco. The rustic-romantic valley is destination and start point of many hikes. The views from every point of the valley are simply unique, but the view from the Col Pradat hill on the Sella massif and the Val de Mesdí Valley is especially worth mentioning. The mountain seems close enough to touch them!

The "Kids Funpark Colfosco", situated by the ski school camp next to the Pezzei skilift, is equipped with arches, jumps, tunnels and interactive osbtacles. The park gives the children the opportunity to learn the ski and/or snowboard basis, with lots of fun. Give me five!

The Coz residence is a short distance away from San Linert. The name "Coz" appears to be of pre-Latin origin and comes from the word "koltju" although we do not know where this word comes from or what it means. This is one of the oldest farms in the area.

The Coz residence we see today was built by the Colz family in 1604. The residential part was renovated in 1996/97. The Colz family sold the farm to the Winkler family from St. Lorenzen in 1695 and they sold it to Jakob Irsara in 1754 and his family still own the farm.

The house is a rectangular form and a hipped roof with two wings. The decorations in the house chapel are very valuable; built in 1613 we can see scenes from the creation, the life of Moses, the Crucifixion and the copper snake. On the external wall we can see two saints; St. Christopher and St. Florian.

In addition to the living quarters there are also smaller buildings such as the corn silo, the smithy and the fodder store.

Now the Coz residence is privat and can be visited outside doing the culture trail in Badia.
