The Skiers' Guide to Alta Badia

Amazing stay and staff of the resort are amazingly friendly. Totally recommend doing the sella Ronda

Alta Badia is a really well connected ski area with several villages connecting via mostly efficient ski lifts and some larger gondolas in key areas like San Cassiano and La Villa. If you plan your day in advance you can complete the Sella Ronda circuit with some good mountain restaurants with traditional local food.

Fabulous groomed pistes, excellent snow making coverage. Stunning views and great food and KMs of pistes.

Decent quality snow and terrain with some truly spectacular views of the Dolomites. Sleepy resort with limited apres scene. Small selection of restaurants but recommended to book half board at one of the hotels.

Fantastic area. Stayed in Corvara. Choose ski in/ out hotel or be prepared to wait for the bus. The ski lift system is one of the most modern and efficient systems I have ever seen. Endless choice of routes and the scenery is fantastic.

Best value for money, family friendly, great infrastructure, good off piste program, not so crowded.

Alta Badia is a lovely resort, and a great gateway into the Sella Ronda. It's quieter, and cheaper, but still close enough and well connected to the main lifts and slopes, so you can stay closer to the resort or easily venture further into the main Sella Ronda runs in only 30 minutes. However, the eating out options were very limited if you did not want to eat at the hotel, and it gets very quiet as it's off the main circuit, so depends on the vibe you are going for. The ski domain it gives you access to is vast, with lots of nice wide runs and gorgeous views, so perfect for medium level skiers, and we got nice weather which meant the runs were very accessible and well kept, not much ice and good snow.

We had a wonderful time in the heart of The Dolomites. Amazing scenery and conditions. The food is the best and there is much for non-skiers as well. I'm never going anywhere else. Groomed pistes are a delight with a comprehensive and rapid lift system.

Great pistes and short lift queues, not the longest runs in the world but when queues are short it doesn’t matter as much. Not much off piste to be explored.

Outside of skiing food and drink scene is fantastic, potentially the best out of any resort I have been to.

We did the whole Sella Ronda but Covara where we were based in Alta Badia has so much more to offer than just the 'motorways' round the Sella Ronda. Its own slopes are less crowded and you can ski for many miles on uncrowded slopes. The interconnected lift systems are wonderful and no need to take drag lifts. On mountain food very good and fairly reasonably priced.

Our favourite place to ski even though we usually stay in Selva, Val Gardena.
Beautiful slopes and huttes to die for - Try La Marmotta, but do book to avoid dissapointment.

Incredible time despite limited snow. Weather was fantastic, huts on the mountain were incredible with amazing food and drinks

We go every year and everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. The slopes are sometimes a bit icy and have mogules which can make it really tricky to ski though. There’s a kid section which is really fun as well

We stayed in Alleghe which is further out from the Dolomiti SuperSki but cheaper by far! At this time of year the slopes were a bit icy and my snowboarding husband was missing the powder off pistes but - for the time of year and our budget the 4 days in Alleghe and 2 days anywhere in Dolomiti SuperSki was perfect - we took cheap public transport to another resort and joined the sellaronde to Alta Badia and Marmalada. Beautiful views but quiet in the evenings.

Great resort to ski in. Everyone is lovely and super friendly and it has great runs. Great place to learn

Alta Badia is a magical place. I have been visiting and skiing since I was 3 years old, and I started snowboarding when I was 14. I have explored most of the slopes with my Dolomiti Superski pass. It is the best place on the planet and a lot of fun!

Great family friendly ski area, over looking the beautiful Dolomites. frequent ski lifts. parking can be difficult when there are professional sports events on. Lots of sun which is nice but can make the slopes very icy. Beer and alcohol is cheap. Could be better food options for non-meat eaters at the restaurants. Over all a lovely resort in the Italian Dolomites.

The rush of the Gran Risa is unparalleled - what a run, bucket list. Dramatic scenery, amazing food and people. The park is insane and you go over it on the lift, as much of a spectator sport even if not your vibe. Amore

Beautiful scenery, perfectly groomed slopes, delicious local food. Italian skiing at its most enjoyable.

Amazing resort with great food, good lift system and Sellaronda ski area provides alot of variety. Mostly friendly people and taxi transfer from Venice is not too long.
