Ski holidays in the Dolomites

The skiing region Alta Badia was the forerunner of alpine skiing in South Tyrol and has, over the years, developed into one of the leading regions for skiing holidays in the Alps. As early as in the years after the First World War, the first tourists spent their skiing holidays in our Dolomite region.

During the 1930s, the first ski school was founded in Corvara and in 1938, the first lift system - a sleigh lift to the Col Alto - was built. This lift was replaced in 1947 by the Col Alto chair lift, the first chair lift in South Tyrol and, in fact, the whole of Italy. Since then, Alta Badia has seen a constant yet sustainable touristic development and today is renowned as a model region for winter tourism.

With 130 km of slopes, a network of 53 fast and comfortable lifts, a direct skiing connection to 500 kilometres (310 mi) of ski runs in the Dolomiti Superski area and its characteristic Dolomite scenery, Alta Badia has become one of the top destinations for skiing holidays in the Dolomites and even in Italy. Experienced skiers love the multi-faceted skiing region with its black runs such as the Vallon-Boè or the giant slalom run Gran Risa in La Villa.

A large number of ski runs, modern lifts and the unique Dolomites scenery provide every skier with the ideal prerequisites for perfect skiing holidays.

However, the region also offers wider, optimally groomed runs of all difficulty levels perfectly suited for family skiing holidays. If you choose Alta Badia in the Dolomites to ski with your children, kids' fun parks, ski lessons for children and ski-kindergartens await you.
