Forecast today: Clear skies
Although each village is different, most have an old core and have been tastefully expanded – there are no large blocks here. The scenery is spectacular throughout and the food here is arguably some of the best in any ski region worldwide – the Alta Badia valley has no fewer than six Michelin Stars, more than some of the largest world cities combined.
Each of the main villages are home to some decent low-level beginner zones, but the real highlight is the vast selection of gentle blues located above Corvara.
On the whole the vertical may not be huge but there are so many runs to explore and if you ski all the way back down to the valley (look out in particular for piste 9A above San Cassiano) you’ll clock up more mileage.
Adventurous intermediates and up should make the most of the Sella Ronda ski area and take on the famous route via Selva Gardena, Arabba and Canazei.
Unfortunately, the abrupt geology of the Dolomites limits the available off piste, whilst on piste challenges are limited – but there are numerous terrain parks and Alta Badia’s World Cup run (piste 17) is tough. The entire area is very easy to navigate due to the efficient lift system.
Each of the six villages offers something different, but for maximum convenience and best access into the ski area we’d recommend either Corvara or La Villa. The latter is somewhat smaller and quieter, but there is a decent choice of accommodation and prices are very reasonable. Corvara is bigger and busier, so go there if you’re looking for a more lively après ski scene.
As mentioned, food is a major attraction away from the slopes – indeed many people visiting Alta Badia won’t even click into a pair of skis. The St. Hubertus hotel in San Cassiano is one of only ten three Michelin star restaurants in Italy – spend the money you save on a holiday by coming here on a meal at one of the world’s best restaurants.

The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.
Alta Badia has received certification from the Global Sustainability Tourism Council (GSTC) as a sustainable tourist destination, requiring the a destination to meet criteria across four areas, including sustainable management, socio-economic sustainability, cultural sustainability, and environmental sustainability.
The GSTC is a UN-affiliated body dedicated to enabling sustainable tourism around the world. GSTC certification is controlled by Vireo, an Italian for-profit certification and licencing organisation that manages several similar schemes. Alta Badia was awarded its certificate in 2022, which expires in 2025.

Spring conditions dominate across the Italian Alps through this week, as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions across the region. Temperatures will yo-yo in a typical spring freeze-thaw pattern, the freezing line dropping to 1000m overnight but rising to just shy of 2,000m in the midday sun; slightly colder in the south and west versus the east.
Cloud and more unsettled weather brings with it some snow through this weekend, the best of which will be in the east of the country; around 10cm will fall from Saturday into Sunday in the Dolomites bringing a useful freshener as we head towards the end of the season. With the oscillations of the freezing line settling around 1,500 this will mean that this snowfall will favour upper slopes. Western areas will see around 5cm, with the northwest settling for a few freshening flurries.
