The Val Badia valley is one of Val Pusteria’s side valleys and is the home of the Ladin language and culture in South Tyrol.

Roughly until the beginning of the 19th century, the Val Badia valley was difficult to reach due to its geographical location. It is thanks to this long-lasting remoteness that its culture and language are deeply rooted in the whole valley.

Today, you can experience a vibrant mix of tradition, quality and modernity in Alta Badia and its six villages Corvara, Colfosco, San Cassiano, Badia, La Villa and La Val.

In the middle of the 19th century, the first alpine pioneers visited the southern part of Val Badia, known as Alta Badia, to climb the Dolomite mountains - this marked the corner stone for tourism in Alta Badia.
In the 1940s, winter tourism also became a topic. In Corvara, Alta Badia's first lift system, a sledge lift, was constructed in 1938. This lift was replaced by the first chair lift in the Dolomites and, in fact, the whole of Italy, in 1947.
