The cable car to the easily accessible Piz Boè departs from the edge of Corvara village, the main centre of the Corvara municipality

After the village of Badia, the road continues into the upper part of the Val Badia: This is where you find Corvara with its main centre, Corvara village (Corvara Dorf). The centre consists of numerous small houses, shops, and accommodation, and right in the middle stands the bell tower of the Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria. It is the oldest sacred site in the village.
A little way off, on the edge of the village, are the Corvara biotope lake and the valley station of the cable car, which provides access to the Vallon area. High above looms the rocky expanse of the Piz Boè, an impressive 2,200 metres high, considered the easiest three-thousander in the Dolomites. The Piz Fassa Mountain Hut provides a place to stop for refreshments at the summit.
Up there, at great altitude, are the steep sections of Mt. Piz da Lech on the Piz da Lech Via Ferrata. In winter, Corvara transforms into one of the most important ski resorts in the Dolomites.
Right in Corvara village, the Boè Cable Car provides access to the Alta Badia Skiing Area, which is connected to the Dolomiti Superski network. On skis, you can then circumnavigate the mighty Sella Massif in a day, either clockwise or anti-clockwise. In December, when you return in the evening, the lights and inviting atmosphere of a very special Christmas market, the "Marcé da Nadé", as it is called in Ladin, await you in the village square.
