Vacances dans la Région des Dolomites d'Alta Badia

An easy ski mountaineering tour on a groomed path, initially along a nice trail through the woods which then leads to a wonderful panoramic point: a stop is a must here to admire the charm of nature covered in a beautiful white mantle. Once you have reached your destination, from the refuge located at the foot of the splendid Pralongiá plateau, you can admire the Sassongher and the Sella Group.

This medium-easy routeruns circularly between the villages of Corvara and Colfosco, at the foot of the majestic Sassongher mountain. The initial ascent through the woods will then give way to a spectacular view of the north face of the Sella massif.

Before heading out on the hike check the weather forecast and the avalanche report http://www.arpa.veneto.it/neve_valanghe/it/pdf/dolomiti_nevevalanghe.pdf.

Put on your snowshoes and set off for a magical adventure across the Armentara meadows covered in a soft and white blanket of snow. As soon as you take your first steps on the fresh snow, a unique panorama of the imposing Sas dla Crusc massif will sorround you. Once you reach the La Crusc hut, you can finally enjoy one of the typical Ladin dishes. We also recommend a visit to the highest little church in Europe, which is located just a few steps from the hut.

The 8-seater gondola lift from the sunny Stella Alpina valley Colfosco serves several slopes, many of which are suitable for beginners.

The 8-seater gondola lift connects the town of Corvara, in winter as well as in summer, with the homonymous hill above the town.

It was 1938 when a carriage for skiers was built in Corvara towards Col Alto, a sledge lift. The sledge lift was replaced in 1946 by a chair lift. It was the first chairlift in Italy. Improvements and renovations have been made several times over the years. Most recently, the chairlift was replaced by the current 8-seater gondola lift.

From the valley station of the gondola lift, hiking trails and MTB trails connect with the Piz La Ila - Piz Sorega - Pralongiá plateau. At the mountain station of the gondola lift, there is also an e-mtb sharing point in which you can rent an electric mountain bike which can be delivered to one of the other participating rental points.

In winter, the sunny and perfectly prepared Col Alto slopes connect Corvara to the Alta Badia ski area. On one of the slopes that descends from the Col Alto, cameras have been installed on the slopes. They will record your descent upon request. The video can then be downloaded.

Piz Boé, in the Sella Group, stands at 3,152 meters and is one of the most accessible peaks over 3,000 meters, making it a popular destination for hikers. However, it's important to note that the ascent from Corvara and the return to Passo Gardena, as outlined in this route, are quite demanding. While climbing equipment isn't required, sure-footedness and mountain experience are essential for tackling this hike. The route primarily traverses rocky terrain, with sections of scree and an equipped trail. As you ascend, the landscape changes, offering breathtaking views of some of the most iconic Dolomite peaks, including the Marmolada, Civetta, Catinaccio, and Sassolungo. At the summit, you'll find the small Capanna Piz Fassa hut, where you can spend the night. However, the true reward is the stunning panorama that only an altitude of over 3,000 meters can provide. The descent involves crossing part of the massif before reaching Gardena Pass.

The 8-seater Boé gondola lift, which leads from Corvara to the foot of the Sella massif, offers cutting-edge service in terms of technological innovation, safety and comfort.

Plans is the name of the first part of the Plans-Frara gondola lift that from Colfosco takes you up to the Gardena pass at the foot of Mount Cir, on the edge of the Puez - Odle natural park. In addition to being a particularly important connection system for the Sellaronda, both in winter for skiers and in summer for mountain bikers, the gondola lift takes you to a first-rate panoramic point: right at the arrival of the system you can see the peaks del Cir and on the opposite side the majestic Sella Group. Easy trails start from the mountain station of the Plans gondola.

Frara is the name of the second part of the Plans-Frara gondola lift. It takes you from the village of Colfosco short above the Gardena pass at the foot of Mount Cir, on the edge of the Puez - Odle natural park. In addition to being a particularly important connection system for the Sellaronda, both in winter for skiers and in summer for mountain bikers, the gondola lift takes you to a first-rate panoramic point: right at the arrival you can see the peaks del Cir and on the opposite side the majestic Sella Group. In summer there are several itineraries for excursions, trekking and via ferrata.

This panoramic toboggan run plunges visitors into an unspoiled winter wonderland. The Rit meadows, which in summer delight hikers with their lush and varied flowers, are popular in winter for their snow-covered alpine slopes.

The Borest chairlift connects the villages of Corvara and Colfosco and is so very important for the Sellaronda.

The Arlara chairlift leads from Corvara - neighbourhood Arlara - to the slopes of the Col Alto - Arlara area.The slopes in this area are medium-easy and always sunny.

The 8-seater Col Pradat cabin lift takes you from Colfsco to the hill of the same name at the foot of Sassongher mountain.From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Sella Group in both winter and summer.Two slopes descend from the top of Col Pradat: one easy and one more difficult.

The ski tour through the Mezdí Valley is one of the classics among the off-piste itineraries in the Dolomites. The tour runs from south to north and is characterized by a short crossing of the Sella massif with only little difference in height, and by a steep and technical descent to Colfosco, through this narrow valley in the middle of the rocks.

Caution:

• The tour is classified as moderate, but it should not be underestimated, as it can be very demanding in case of wind or icy snow.
• It is recommended that you go accompanied by a local alpine guide and to always check the conditions.

The Vallon chairlift starts just above the mountain station of the Boè gondola lift in Corvara and leads to the foot of the Sella Group in an exceptional panoramic point.

In summer, various trails of all difficulties start between the Boé gondola lift and the Vallon chair lift.From family excursions, such as the one to the Boé lake, to high-altitude trekking such as towards the Boé peak and also climbing on cliffs and via ferratas.

In winter, experienced skiers enjoy skiing down the Vallon slope, classified as a black slope, and continuing with the Boé slope.Together they are over 5 kilometers of track with a total height difference of 1,050 meters.

The Pralongiá chairlift connects the Planac area just outside Corvara in the direction of the Campolongo pass with Corvara and San Cassiano.
In summer, the meadows of the Pralongiá plateau are rich in alpine flowers. A soft, coloured carpet as far as the eye can see, in the midst of which paths for hikers and trails for mountain bikers wind. From the mountain station of the chair lift, with a walk of about half an hour, you reach the Movimënt Spaghettino Park Pralongià The park is dedicated to the discovery of the numerous insects and other creatures that inhabit the green plains of Pralongiá.
In winter, the sunny and panoramic slopes of the Pralongiá area lead to Corvara, San Cassiano and Cherz.
