"La Roda", the giant wooden bicycle, can be seen in the meadows at the finish area of the Maratona dles Dolomites cycle marathon. The artwork, created by a local artist in 2016 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the cycling marathon, has become a symbol of the passion for cycling that can be felt everywhere in Alta Badia.

Alta Badia, in collaboration with Etifor, has identified the Masisti Forest at Passo Campolongo as the ideal location for creating the Food Forest. Thanks to the WOWnature project, the reforestation process began in 2020 after the damage caused by the Vaia storm. In this forest, which is open to visitors during the summer months, a rich biodiversity has developed, and you can now find delightful surprises, including blueberries, raspberries, wild strawberries, juniper berries, and elderberries. Visitors can create their own self-guided paths to discover what Mother Nature has to offer. Along the trail, informational panels reveal the secrets of the forest and provide tips on how the herbs and fruits gathered are used in traditional Ladin cuisine.
Our perfumery in the center of Corvara offers a wide range of perfumes and leather goods.
The late Gothic church of Colfosco, with the Sella Massif in the background, is a popular photo motif of the Dolomites.
The parish church of St. Vigil was first mentioned in 1419. In the following years it was restored and expanded several times.
Particularly interesting are the neo-Gothic lobby on the outer facade with a grooved and beveled pointed arch portal, the bulbous spire and the church altar. This dates from the late 19th century and is from the local artist Johann Valentin - Badia. In the middle niche of the altar there is an 18th century picture of the Virgin Mary and on the sides there are the statues of St. Vigilius and St. Kassian. For safety reasons, the valuable statue of St. Vigilius has been replaced with a copy.

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 nature 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 Armentara meadows, a natural biotope in which flora and fauna merge harmoniously, are a natural spectacle of rare beauty. By crossing soft mountain meadows, in summer you can admire rare orchids, silicate spruce trees, larch meadows, stone pine forests and more than 60 varieties of birds. Wide pastures testify the work of our farmers who have shaped the landscape respecting its delicate natural balance.
In winter the Armentara meadows are the idyllic location for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

I would be happy to accompany you along many different mountain adventures, experiencing together many magical moments, in close contact with nature and helping you to appreciate the mountains in all of its expressions.
The area around the Lagazuoi mountain offers a combination of hiking, skiing, culture and world history, in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, the Dolomites. The mountains of the area Lagazuoi - 5 Torri, bear traces of one of the most tragic events of the twentieth century, the First World War.
Do not miss: in winter, at the end of an impressive 8.5 km descent, the most ecological taxi in the Alps awaits you. A heard of horses pulls the skiers from Sas Dlacia to the Armentarola ski lift to get back to the Skicarosello ski area which connects all villages of Alta Badia.
The cross country skiing centre- zënter de paslunch Alta Badia is situated in Sciaré/Armentarola, 3 km from San Cassiano. The trails stretch for about 26 km across meadows and forests at the foot of the Conturines, Lavarella and Settsass mountain range. At the starting point of the trail you will find a service centre with ski school, ski rental, toilets, changing rooms, bar and restaurant with hot food throughout.
The cross-country ski trail is suitable for both classic and skating and, in addition to the yellow marked practice trail, offers eight routes of varying difficulty: Sas Dlacia, Sciaré, Pinais, Pre de Costa, Störes and Conturines. The last two are intended as racing or training tracks.
In case of insufficient snow conditions, about 4 km of trail are artificially snowed.
The whole Alta Badia region is one big playground in the summer with its meadows and woods. But this, for us in Alta Badia, wasn’t enough: The beautiful nature was the basis for the design of enjoyable game parks.
Each of the six towns of Alta Badia has therefore at least one game park for children: the playground in La Val is located in the "Gnates" park.
Sport Alfredo, sports equipment in Corvara. Find everything you need to live the mountains. During the winter season ski rental open non-stop 8.30 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

Saint Joseph Freinademetz, the saint of Alta Badia, is the first South Tyrolean Saint.
Today, the hamlet of Oies is a much-visited place of pilgrimage, especially the birthplace of the missionary Josef Freinademetz, who belonged to the Society of the Divine Word. The Steyl missionary was born in 1852 and died of typhoid fever in China on 28 January 1908.
He was beatified by Pope Paul VI in Rome on 19 October 1975 and canonised on 5 October 2003.
The cellar of the Oies farm was converted into a chapel and decorated with works by the artists Kollreider from Lienz and Lois Irsara from Badia.
The whole Alta Badia region is one big playground in the summer with its meadows and woods. But this, for us in Alta Badia, wasn’t enough: The beautiful nature was the basis for the design of enjoyable game parks.
Each of the six towns of Alta Badia has therefore at least one game park for children: in Colfosco there is one by the pine wood and another one by the farmhouse park.
Together with the pre-existing buildings, summit station of the cable car and pizza pavilion, the new mountain restaurant forms a courtyard situation sheltered from the wind in the very exposed, protected landscape site. The new building, however, crouches down, an elongated single-story building, and appears almost as if part of the site. The architecture goes against the usual style of a mountain hut: a wide, cantilevered platform roof protects the underlying perimetric floor-to-ceiling glass façade, which makes the building appear more transparent and lighter. Familiar materials, though, were used: wood terraces, wood furniture, as well as natural stone masonry for the kitchen and adjoining room area. Three timber-clad cubes divide the otherwise completely open floor plan of the spacious guest area, which feels more like a lounge than a mountain hut.
The Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus tells the fascinating story of the cave bear that lived over 50,000 years ago in the Dolomites and was discovered in the Conturines cave, considered the highest-altitude site in the world where the remains of the cave bear and cave lion have been found. Visitors can also explore the geological history of the Dolomites, beautifully narrated through stunning fossils.
The Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus, an annex of the Museum Ladin Ciastel de Tor in San Martino in Badia, is spread over three floors.
On the top floor, the formation of the Dolomites is illustrated with unique fossils of great scientific interest, typical of the area surrounding San Cassiano.
Next is the section dedicated to the formation of the cave, its discovery, and the excavations that unearthed thousands of bones. All the essential aspects of the cave bear's life and its environment are explained through the Ursus ladinicus remains, dating back more than 50,000 years.
On the ground floor, visitors can explore a reconstruction of the bear's cave, where they can admire "the mother bear in eternal hibernation with her cub."
Accessible for people with disabilities: The Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus is fully wheelchair accessible.
Would you like to share the magic of the Armentara meadows with your loved ones back home? Why not do it in a romantic and old-fashioned way, by sending an illustrated postcard? We have prepared a special box in which we collect postcards that will be sent twice a year: with the first snowflakes and in early summer, with the first blossom. You don't even have to think about the postage stamp, we post it ourselves!
The Sassongher mountain, 2665 m high, located on the south-eastern border of the Puez-Geisler Nature Park, UNESCO World Heritage, is the mountain which most represents the town of Corvara. From its summit you can enjoy a 360° view of the Dolomites.
The imposing massif overlooking Corvara is particularly attractive seen from the Campolongo pass.
For some years now, a bench and a large wooden panel with the writing Corvara, have been on the first curves of the pass where there is a particularly beautiful viewpoint.
Locals and tourists love to sit here and admire this Dolomite giant. Of course, many photos and selfies are shot.
The centre point of the First World War ski tour is the symbolic mountain of the 1st world war, Mount Col di Lana. The 80 km (49 mi) tour takes you around this mountain. Everywhere, you will find traces of World War 1: Artefacts from the war era, trenches running right through the rocks, parapet walks and forts.
In Alta Badia, you will start in Corvara and go to Campolongo Pass until you reach Arabba. Via Arabba and Porta Vescovo, you will reach Malga Ciapela/Marmolada. From here, you can take a detour to Marmolada Glacier (3,342 m / 10,964 ft). The lifts at Marmolada are included in the Dolomiti Superski pass.
Continue with the ski bus to Alleghe, where you can explore the runs of the skiing region Civetta. The ski bus takes you from Pescul to the Fedare hut (Giau Pass). From the Fedare slope you reach the forcella Croda Negra (Croda Negra pass) with a two-seater chair-lift.
On the north side of the Forcella Negra the new Averau-Troi ski track brings you to the Col Gallina and to Passo Falzarego where you continue for Alta Badia with the Lagazuoi ski tour.
For the whole tour you need approximately 7 and 8 hours. Therefore, we recommend to take off in the early morning in order to finish the tour in time before the lifts close.
The tour can be done either clockwise or anti-clockwise, and in both cases there are sections in the ski bus, the ticket for which must be purchased directly on board - not included in the ski pass. The counter-clockwise route includes an atmospheric section of approx. 1.5 km in which skiers are pulled by a parade of Norse horses.
One of the most spectacular descents of this tour is definitely the ski slope that from the top of Lagazuoi descends towards Armentarola in Alta Badia, the longest ski slope in the Dolomites.
Gigant – the giant, is a work of art in polished steel that was created by the artist Daniele Basso for the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Ski World Cup in Alta Badia. The giant takes up the skier of the World Cup logo and symbolizes the sport of skiing. It is, above all, an acknowledgement to all the volunteers who contributed to the great and unique success of the Ski World Cup in Alta Badia.
The artwork was set up at the Piz La Ila mountain station where the descent to the famous Gran Risa slope begins.
