On the Tracks of Wild Animals

Let the (treasure) hunt begin! A family-friendly trail where you’ll encounter many charming mountain animals, ready to share stories about their lives and habitats. At the end of the path, more surprises await you… or maybe even two: the emerald-green Lech Dlá Lé lake and a well-deserved reward for the young explorers who successfully complete the treasure hunt and collect all the stamps!

How does it work? After picking up the maps at Rifugio Lé hut, you can set off on the animal tracks – matching the stamps to each station – and, following the clues, collect the balls that lead to the treasure. Once both trails are completed, the young explorers can claim their well-earned prize at the starting hut.

The characteristic rural landscapes of the valley will envelop you during the entire route. You will be immersed in the tranquillity of the area: as you look around you will be able to observe some of the most characteristic "viles" of Val Badia. Viles are the typical widespread rural settlements, composed of several farmhouses.

Continuing along the path, you will reach the Corn plateau, one of the few panoramic points from where you can see the village of San Vigilio on one side, and San Martin with the Pütia mountain in the background, on the other one.

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.

Some data:

• Total length: 40 km (lifts and slopes)
• Slopes: 26 km
• Ascent time on the lifts: approx. 2 hours - calculate that waiting times are possible
• Average duration of descents: approx. 1.5 hours

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.

The Vallon Via Ferrata is ideal for those approaching the world of via ferratas with a solid background in high-altitude hiking.

From the summit, a breathtaking view opens up over the Sella Group and its inner valleys, offering a truly unforgettable panorama. The equipment along the route is in excellent condition: in 2024, the entire ferrata was completely renovated, now ensuring safety and comfort for all who choose to climb it.

The little church of Santa Barbara, dating back to the 15th century, on the hills above the village of La Val in Alta Badia, is located in a very panoramic location.

The Piz Sorega gondola lift starting from San Cassiano leads to the plateau of the same name that connects Corvara, La Villa and San Cassiano, in the Alta Badia ski and hiking area.

A few years ago, next to the top station, the Bear Park Movimënt was created. Here children and adults can spend time of pure fun learning and discovering many interesting things about the magical world of nature. So, for example, you can visit a real bear cave dedicated to the Ladin bear of the Conturines grotto. Outside the cave you will find a minigolf circuit, always dedicated to the bear, a zip line, water games, a special beehive shaped slide and many other games for children of all ages.

In winter the slopes that leave from Piz Sorega lead to La Villa and Corvara and in Corvara you are on the Sellaronda. In addition to the slopes that connect with the entire area, two slopes start from the mountain station of Piz Sorega, one red and one blue, which lead down to San Cassiano. Finally, the natural toboggan run "Tru Liösa Foram" also descends from the valley station of the Piz La Ila.

The small ski lift on the Piz Sorega plateau, 426 meters long and with a vertical drop of only 75 meters, is especially suitable for beginner skiers. The ski instructors of the San Cassiano ski school hold their ski courses on the blue slopes along the ski lift.

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.

Climbing up to the historic church of La Crusc / Santa Croce has become even more comfortable with the La Crusc 2 cable car. Now, even with uncertain weather, you can reach the iconic sanctuary while remaining dry and warm. And, thanks to the panoramic windows, you can admire the surrounding mountains. The La Crusc 2 cable car also allows the transport of bikes and, particularly important for families, strollers.

In winter, the La Crusc ski area is part of the Dolomiti Superski carousel, the largest ski carousel in the Alps.
