South Tyrol and Alta Badia: raise your glasses! The “Wine Skisafari – De dl vin” is an oenological experience, a wine tasting as fascinating as original, which brings a selection of the finest South Tyrolean wines to the heights of the mountains. During the event, you can ski from mountain hut to mountain hut to discover Alpine wines of Mediterranean flavour, which, as a result of the grape varieties being cultivated at altitudes between 200 and 1,000 metres, are rich in character. The Wine Skisafari – De dl vin is an event devoted to all ski and wine lovers, stating the tight bond between South Tyrol and Alta Badia, which have been collaborating for years in the fields of regional oenology.

The Wine Skisafari offers a cheerful expedition on skis across the country’s multitude of wines.
Alta Badia, the Dolomite region for epicurean holidays, supports, among other things, the responsible use of alcohol under the motto: taste, enjoy, but don't overdo it. Too much alcohol on the slopes slows down reflexes and can cause accidents even on the ski slopes.
Please remember, when skiing, the consumption of alcohol is permitted in moderate quantities, fines will be imposed if the alcohol level exceeds 0.5 per mille.
Follow the SS244 Val Badia road towards Alta Badia.
Whenever possible, choose public transport to get around.
Event guide
What is the difference between a high-altitude wine and a wine grown on the valley floor?
High-altitude wines tend to develop greater freshness, higher acidity and more intense aromas thanks to cooler temperatures and the slower ripening of the grapes. Wines grown on the valley floor, on the other hand, often have a softer structure and a fuller body because of the milder climate.
Which South Tyrolean wines can you discover during Wine Skisafari?
Wine Skisafari invites participants to discover white and red wines from a selection of wineries across South Tyrol. Each tasting is an opportunity to explore the grape varieties, wine-growing regions and distinctive characteristics that define South Tyrolean wine production.
Why is it recommended to enjoy wine in moderation during Wine Skisafari?
Wine Skisafari combines wine tasting with skiing, which is why it is important to enjoy the experience responsibly. Tasting in moderation allows you to appreciate South Tyrolean wines while continuing to ski safely on the slopes of Alta Badia.
Why is South Tyrolean wine so closely connected to the Dolomites?
South Tyrolean wine is shaped by the meeting of an Alpine climate and Mediterranean influences that characterise the region at the foot of the Dolomites. This balance gives the wines their distinctive freshness, elegance and strong sense of place.
