The project "Respect the mountains" aims to raise awareness of environmentally friendly conduct among visitors, locals and tourism professionals in the Dolomites, UNESCO World Heritage. It seeks to encourage everyone to act respectfully and responsibly in the mountains as well as in everyday life. Its key topics are potable water and waste prevention.

South Tyrolean tap water is potable and of a high quality. But water, including our drinking water, is a rare and precious commodity.

The small ski lift on the Piz Sorega plateau, 426 meters long and with a vertical drop of only 75 meters, is especially suitable for beginner skiers. The ski instructors of the San Cassiano ski school hold their ski courses on the blue slopes along the ski lift.

The Snowpark Alta Badia is one of the biggest of all Dolomiti Super Freestyle parks: solid, with an extremely versatile setup, it offers lines for all riding levels as well as different types of kickers, rails and boxes. Furthermore, the park has become an internationally appreciated destination – the events and the possibility to make shootings attracted many crews from all over the world! This year, the snowpark will be extended by the Funslope Alta Badia and the playgroundSnow, a new freestyle idea which blends together slopes, snowpark and cross in one unique area for even more fun!

The slope is prearranged as agonistic and training area through the beautiful woods of San Cassiano.

The circuit crosses the 4 Dolomite passes - Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena - and 5 famous resorts: Corvara and Colfosco in Alta Badia, Arabba, Canazei and Selva di Val Gardena. In 2020, the Sellaronda was awarded the title of 'best ski tour' by the portal skiresort.de. Alta Badia is the ideal starting point to begin the tour, which can be done clockwise or anticlockwise: either way, you will cross 40 km of beauty and enchantment, surrounded by the extraordinary Dolomite landscapes. Clockwise the signs are orange, anticlockwise green.  The slopes are suitable for skiers of average experience in good physical condition. For those who wish to dare more, there are some 'disgressions', such as the Gran Risa giant slalom slope in La Villa in Alta Badia or the Saslong descent in Santa Cristina in Val Gardena.  To complete the Sellaronda, one must calculate about 6 hours between descents, ascents and breaks included.

Some data:

• Total length: 40 km (lifts and slopes)
• Slopes: 26 km
• Ascent time on the lifts: approx. 2 hours - calculate that waiting times are possible
• Average duration of descents: approx. 1.5 hours

The route that starts in Badia and goes up to the idyllic lakes Lech Dlá Lunch and Lech da Sompunt is the ideal route for those who enjoy running on gravel paths, undergrowth and meadows.

As you run through fresh forests and green meadows at the foot of Mount Gherdenacia, the view sweeps freely over the Dolomite landscape. The mountains Sas dla Crusc and Lavarela are simply amazing.

At the practice slope of the Cross-Country Centre Alta Badia in San Cassiano, everyone can take their first steps in cross-country skiing.

The whole Alta Badia region is one big playground in the summer with its meadows and woods. But this, for us in Alta Badia, wasn’t enough: The beautiful nature was the basis for the design of enjoyable game parks.

Each of the six towns of Alta Badia has therefore at least one game park for children: the playground in La Val is located in the "Gnates" park.

A peaceful spot is waiting for you at the entrance to the village of Colfosco, where you and your family can spend your afternoons in the shade of larch and fir trees with friendly farm animals.

Along the easy walk, you will get to know lively goats and hard-working hens and rabbits. The route leads to an educational house where you can explore the forest and nature and stimulate your senses.

In the heart of the park, you can admire a pretty pond housing a family of ducks living in harmony with some chattering geese. Nearby, the watermill recalls the ancient transformation of wheat into flour and the traditional peasant oven, where children's workshops with bread baking are still offered. Children can have fun and climb safely on the towers of the playground built in the shape of a fort.

The park is open every day from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, although most of the animals are brought to the stable around 5:00 PM. Starting from September 20th, the animals will take refuge in the stable to stay warm, but you will still find the ducks waiting for you at the park.

The park is open all year round, and during the colder months, the ducks, who don't need the warmth of the stable, will be there to greet you.

The cross-country area Corvara winds through sunny meadows and woods. The routes start at the Corvara ski school and lead to the neighbourhood of Pescosta. They are prepared for the classic discipline and for skating, have little difference in elevation and are therefore also suitable for beginners.

History does not have to be boring; it can be experienced in person. Thus the panoramic ski circuit on the Lagazuoi Mountain can provide an exciting timetrip through the history of the World War 1 in the Dolomites.

On this varied ski circuit, you ski from Corvara, Colfosco, La Villa or Badia on the pistes of Alta Badia as far as San Cassiano/Armentarola. From there, shuttle taxis (not included in the ski pass price) take you to the Falzarego Pass (2,105 m) from where the Lagazuoi tour starts in earnest. You can, of course, also get to the Falzarego Pass directly by using local buses (fare not included in the skipass) The Lagazuoi cable car takes you to the eponymous mountain (2,778 m). To warm up, we would recommend the descent on the Lagazuoi piste.

The red run goes back to the pass and to the valley station of the cable car. After a short ascent, the Armentarola piste, 7.5 km long, awaits you. This is one of the most impressive downhill tracks in the Alps and you will be afforded a memorable view of the legendary Fanes valley. The piste leads you through a charming valley with craggy mountain faces and steep ice falls down towards Sas Dlacia.

In Sas Dlacia the well-known Noriker horse carriage awaits the skiers to take them to the Armentarola ski lift, the entrance to the ski area of Alta Badia. The horse of the mountain race Noriker is a heavy draft horse, strong and long-lived, native of the Alpine valleys between Italy and Austria. Originally used by our farmers in agricultural activities, the Noriker are strong, sociable and friendly animals. Each coachman in Sas Dlacia has a minimum of 3 horses, so that the pulling is done in rotation and does not tire the animals.

Starting from the slopes in Alta Badia it will take you approximately half a day to complete the ski circuit. Whilst enjoying your adventure on skis around the Lagazuoi, you may also branch off to explore the winter sports resort of Cinque Torri which you can reach on skis from the Falzarego Pass. The excursion to Lagazuoi is unique both for the beauty of the landscape and for the numerous historical testimonies that you encounter along the way.

This easy hike through flower-filled meadows, pastureland and woods between San Cassiano and Badia, passes along the feet of the Sas dla Crusc and presents wonderful views of the Marmolada, Sella massif, Puez and Sass de Pütia.

The unspoiled scenery, unique flora of the Dolomites and glimpses of game such as chamois and roe deer make this hike an unforgettable experience.
