Forecast today: Mainly cloudy
Although each village is different, most have an old core and have been tastefully expanded – there are no large blocks here. The scenery is spectacular throughout and the food here is arguably some of the best in any ski region worldwide – the Alta Badia valley has no fewer than six Michelin Stars, more than some of the largest world cities combined.
Each of the main villages are home to some decent low-level beginner zones, but the real highlight is the vast selection of gentle blues located above Corvara.
On the whole the vertical may not be huge but there are so many runs to explore and if you ski all the way back down to the valley (look out in particular for piste 9A above San Cassiano) you’ll clock up more mileage.
Adventurous intermediates and up should make the most of the Sella Ronda ski area and take on the famous route via Selva Gardena, Arabba and Canazei.
Unfortunately, the abrupt geology of the Dolomites limits the available off piste, whilst on piste challenges are limited – but there are numerous terrain parks and Alta Badia’s World Cup run (piste 17) is tough. The entire area is very easy to navigate due to the efficient lift system.
Each of the six villages offers something different, but for maximum convenience and best access into the ski area we’d recommend either Corvara or La Villa. The latter is somewhat smaller and quieter, but there is a decent choice of accommodation and prices are very reasonable. Corvara is bigger and busier, so go there if you’re looking for a more lively après ski scene.
As mentioned, food is a major attraction away from the slopes – indeed many people visiting Alta Badia won’t even click into a pair of skis. The St. Hubertus hotel in San Cassiano is one of only ten three Michelin star restaurants in Italy – spend the money you save on a holiday by coming here on a meal at one of the world’s best restaurants.

GSTC certification is controlled by Vireo, an Italian for-profit certification and licencing organisation that manages several similar schemes. Alta Badia was awarded its certificate in 2022, which expires in 2025.

Cold air and unsettled conditions begin to sweep in from the East over the course of this weekend and into the new week, flowing down the Po River Valley. This will bring at least a foot of snow to most areas in the Italian Alps, starting over this weekend. The Southwest will see steady snowfall all through this period and into the new week, with other areas seeing a slight pause in snowfall on Monday an Tuesday.
Conditions remain cool to cold across the region, with the freezing line remaining around 1,500m for most of this period.
