A discovery journey through a Dolomite valley, rich in history and natural beauty. The Val Badia valley is the cradle of the Ladin culture and comprises Badia, Corvara, Colfosco, La Val, La Villa and S. Cassiano. The inhabitants, particularly friendly and hospitable, are particularly proud on their language and culture.
Surrounded by the fantastic mountains of the Dolomites, in the rear part of the Val Badia valley, there is the Alta Badia skiing area. All slopes in this area are accessible with one ski pass only. The team of peer.tv has tested the slopes, as well as the winterly atmosphere and some sun-drenched spots in the area.
All the splendor of the World Heritage Site Dolomites is reflected in the mountain meadow trail “Tru di Prà” stretching around La Val. We experienced this flagship route in the first certified walking village of South Tyrol, and came to discover a place that stands for adventure for all the family. Come along with us to the reign of the pale mountains in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies nature park.
It is the most popular “via ferrata” or fixed rope route in all of the Dolomites. The view is breathtaking and the route, with its suspension bridges is simply spectacular. However, surefootedness and good equipment is a must. Come climb up to 2,585 meters with us.
A relaxing, semi difficult climbing tour in the Sesto Dolomites: Over the Sentiero delle scalette, a rope climbing route from the Rifugio Antonio Locatelli to the alluring peaks of the Torre di Toblin, situated in front of the breathtaking backdrop of the northern wall of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
Language - this is one of many special features of beautiful Alta Badia. Already in long passed days, out of the Rhaetian and an ancient Romance language the Ladin language developped. Even though today the Ladin language group represents a linguistic minority in South Tyrol, it has become one of the three languages spoken in the province of South Tyrol, in addition to Italian and German.
Numerous legends and myths characterise this special valley. Discover mystical Alta Badia and enter a world of its own!
Sport enthusiasts will find all they can wish for in Alta Badia. Activities range from hiking and climbing to mountain biking, cycling and much more. In winter, skier and snowboarders can look forward to the ski circuit of Sella Ronda, with lots of fun and lots of choice. Enjoy yourselves!
