The ski carousel Alta Badia, i.e. the interconnected ski area, stretches between Corvara, La Villa, San Cassiano and the high altitude plateau Pralongià-Cherz, which also includes the world famous Sella Ronda. At an altitude of 1,324 - 2,550 m there are approx. 130 km of piste, a true paradise for ambitious skiers. The mostly easy and intermediate runs are perfect for beginners and families, but also for the pros amongst you. The two black pistes "Gran Risa" in La Villa, which was used for the men's World Cup giant slalom race and the "Vallon" in Corvara are real highlights.

The perfect mix of great piste conditions, higher than average sunny days as well as top of the notch lifts make a skiers heart beat faster.
