The late Gothic church of Colfosco, with the Sella Massif in the background, is a popular photo motif of the Dolomites.

The parish church of St. Vigil was first mentioned in 1419. In the following years it was restored and expanded several times.

Particularly interesting are the neo-Gothic lobby on the outer facade with a grooved and beveled pointed arch portal, the bulbous spire and the church altar. This dates from the late 19th century and is from the local artist Johann Valentin - Badia. In the middle niche of the altar there is an 18th century picture of the Virgin Mary and on the sides there are the statues of St. Vigilius and St. Kassian. For safety reasons, the valuable statue of St. Vigilius has been replaced with a copy.

In the winter playground, Snowy Adventure, located on the slope near the Baby La Crusc ski lift in Badia, the youngest children can have fun in a park designed specifically for their needs. Here they can slide down on snow discs or tubes, or enjoy riding on fun inflatable animals.

For parents, comfortable benches have been set up at the edge of the park, where they can keep an eye on their little ones while relaxing in the warm afternoon sun.

The parish church Saint Catherine of Alexandria, mentioned in 1347 and consecrated in 1452, is the first church of Corvara. In the small church, built in late gothic style, you can admire some admirable works of art.

For example, there are some frescoes and a winged altar dating back to 1520, the only well-preserved winged altar in the Val Badia valley. The altar was realized by the workshop of Ruprecht Potsch and was restored in 1975. The legend tells, that the landscape paintings on the two panels of the altar are by the famous painter Titian, who was probably in Corvara for a short time. Art experts attribute the work to an artist from the so-called Danube School, Albrecht Altdorfer.

Around the church there is, as usual in our alpine area, the town cemetery.

Alta Badia, also known as the Gourmet Valley in the Dolomites, has been awarded for years by the leading gastronomy guides. And indeed, in Alta Badia you can find four Michelin stars on just 15 square kilometers.

And the best thing is: Good food is not only to be found in top-class restaurants. For years, high-quality gastronomy has been one of the most important aspects of Alta Badia's tourist offer so you will be able to satisfy the joys of the palate both, in the valley as well as at the top of the mountain and on the ski slopes.

"La Roda", the giant wooden bicycle, can be seen in the meadows at the finish area of the Maratona dles Dolomites cycle marathon. The artwork, created by a local artist in 2016 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the cycling marathon, has become a symbol of the passion for cycling that can be felt everywhere in Alta Badia.

The Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus tells the fascinating story of the cave bear that lived over 50,000 years ago in the Dolomites and was discovered in the Conturines cave, considered the highest-altitude site in the world where the remains of the cave bear and cave lion have been found. Visitors can also explore the geological history of the Dolomites, beautifully narrated through stunning fossils.

The Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus, an annex of the Museum Ladin Ciastel de Tor in San Martino in Badia, is spread over three floors.

On the top floor, the formation of the Dolomites is illustrated with unique fossils of great scientific interest, typical of the area surrounding San Cassiano.

Next is the section dedicated to the formation of the cave, its discovery, and the excavations that unearthed thousands of bones. All the essential aspects of the cave bear's life and its environment are explained through the Ursus ladinicus remains, dating back more than 50,000 years.

On the ground floor, visitors can explore a reconstruction of the bear's cave, where they can admire "the mother bear in eternal hibernation with her cub."

Accessible for people with disabilities: The Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus is fully wheelchair accessible.

Would you like to share the magic of the Armentara meadows with your loved ones back home? Why not do it in a romantic and old-fashioned way, by sending an illustrated postcard? We have prepared a special box in which we collect postcards that will be sent twice a year: with the first snowflakes and in early summer, with the first blossom. You don't even have to think about the postage stamp, we post it ourselves!

The Armentara meadows, a natural biotope in which flora and fauna merge harmoniously, are a natural spectacle of rare beauty. By crossing soft mountain meadows, in summer you can admire rare orchids, silicate spruce trees, larch meadows, stone pine forests and more than 60 varieties of birds. Wide pastures testify the work of our farmers who have shaped the landscape respecting its delicate natural balance.

In winter the Armentara meadows are the idyllic location for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

The centre point of the First World War ski tour is the symbolic mountain of the 1st world war, Mount Col di Lana. The 80 km (49 mi) tour takes you around this mountain. Everywhere, you will find traces of World War 1: Artefacts from the war era, trenches running right through the rocks, parapet walks and forts.

In Alta Badia, you will start in Corvara and go to Campolongo Pass until you reach Arabba. Via Arabba and Porta Vescovo, you will reach Malga Ciapela/Marmolada. From here, you can take a detour to Marmolada Glacier (3,342 m / 10,964 ft). The lifts at Marmolada are included in the Dolomiti Superski pass.

Continue with the ski bus to Alleghe, where you can explore the runs of the skiing region Civetta. The ski bus takes you from Pescul to the Fedare hut (Giau Pass). From the Fedare slope you reach the forcella Croda Negra (Croda Negra pass) with a two-seater chair-lift.

On the north side of the Forcella Negra the new Averau-Troi ski track brings you to the Col Gallina and to Passo Falzarego where you continue for Alta Badia with the Lagazuoi ski tour.

For the whole tour you need approximately 7 and 8 hours. Therefore, we recommend to take off in the early morning in order to finish the tour in time before the lifts close.

The tour can be done either clockwise or anti-clockwise, and in both cases there are sections in the ski bus, the ticket for which must be purchased directly on board - not included in the ski pass. The counter-clockwise route includes an atmospheric section of approx. 1.5 km in which skiers are pulled by a parade of Norse horses. 

One of the most spectacular descents of this tour is definitely the ski slope that from the top of Lagazuoi descends towards Armentarola in Alta Badia, the longest ski slope in the Dolomites.

A series of routes with increasing difficulty able to meet every expectation, from the simplest for the younger ones to the most acrobatic for the more expert ones.

Prices per person:

• € 8,00 for the first route (fuchsia) - € 3,50 for every repetition, up to max. € 22,00
• Green, orange, blue and red routes:
  • € 15,00 for one single route

The Funslope at Biok is dedicated to adults and children, a slope between parabolic jumps, vortex tunnels and snow tunnels. 
It is a giant playground with over 20 items and an overall length of 900 m.

This park has become very popular because it is suitable for all, and is used primarily by the ski schools who will find here the perfect area to offer really creative lessons.

The park can be reached by chairlift Biok, located in basin between Corvara, San Cassiano and La Villa.

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 Sassongher mountain, 2665 m high, located on the south-eastern border of the Puez-Geisler Nature Park, UNESCO World Heritage, is the mountain which most represents the town of Corvara. From its summit you can enjoy a 360° view of the Dolomites.

The imposing massif overlooking Corvara is particularly attractive seen from the Campolongo pass.

For some years now, a bench and a large wooden panel with the writing Corvara, have been on the first curves of the pass where there is a particularly beautiful viewpoint.

Locals and tourists love to sit here and admire this Dolomite giant. Of course, many photos and selfies are shot.

Sunny Rides in the Dolomites at the Ciampai slope

An innovative Action & Fun Area is presented under the umbrella brand “Funzone Edelweiss”, which combines a speed track, a kids slopestyle and a funline. While the Funline guarantees a new action experience for everyone with its steep curves, waves tracks, jumps and other obstacles, the Kids Slopestyle offers a snow park concept especially designed for children and beginners. On the staged slopestyle course with jumps and different rail geometries, winter athletes of all skill levels can get a taste of the “freestyle world” and train different types of jumps.

In winter, the Edelweiss Valley is especially popular for leisurely skiers and families.

In summer, one of the most popular entrances to the Nature Park is the Edelweiss Valley in Colfosco. The rustic-romantic valley is destination and start point of many hikes. The views from every point of the valley are simply unique, but the view from the Col Pradat hill on the Sella massif and the Val de Mesdí Valley is especially worth mentioning. The mountain seems close enough to touch them!

Gaining speed on snow waves, keeping the knee muscles active and carving through banked curves with loads of flow. Is not the giant slalom on the Gran Risa slope in Alta Badia but the speed alternative for every ski enthusiast: the Funcross La Para!
The funcross track is a home to skilled carvers as well as speed-enthusiastic racers thanks to its two starting points.
The first of them sends motivated winter athletes over high-speed snow waves, whereas the other one challenges skiers and snowboarders with banked curves and directional changes. Either way - the flow is guaranteed both ways which expand over 600 meters in total.

It is time to start! Take one last breath after the exit from the chairlift Biok and GO!
You generate speed before even hitting the first four snow waves thanks to a powerful start. Slack knees and a compact posture definitely help preparing for rapid waves and the first banked curve. After this, you are facing two more waves and a banked turn chicane followed by a jump that is best handled Dominik-Paris-style before getting back into position. Now, this part merges with the second Funcross part of La Para. Dash across the last waves, banked curves and a final jump before finishing with slightly burning legs.
Nevertheless, your Funcross La Para experience has not come to an end yet. Take the t-bar lift La Para and head over to the second starting point of the Funcross where carving fans finally find their satisfaction: Taking on dynamic banked curves, you will experience a flow of different kind. And of course, a final jump must not be missed before both compartments merge. One Funcross. Double Experience. This is the Funcross La Para. Double the flow!

So, what are you waiting for? This unique race experience is accessible via the Piz Sorega lift, the Biok chairlift and La Para t-bar lift.

There are areas dedicated to sports and entertainment combined with relaxation and reflexology areas, you will not want to leave this delightful plateau of Alta Badia.

In the middle of the park there is a slackline zone, a game of balance that is catching on all over the world, with varying degrees of difficulty and height.

At Piz La Ila Active Park you can't miss the large relaxation area with a small lake and a waterfall as well as Kneipp reflexology paths. Relax and listen to the nature that is all round the Movimënt park.

From the Piz La Ila park you can quickly and easily reach the other Movimënt parks at Piz Sorega and Pralongiá on foot or by e-bike.

At the foot of the rocky walls of the "Grup dl Sela" or Sella Group, the most imposing massif of the Dolomites, you can admire the suggestive “cascades de Pisciadú”.
