The Skiers' Guide to Alta Badia

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.

Colfosco has been the village of choice whilst the kids have been young through to teenagers, great location, corvara nearby, great mountain restaurants

Great food, great views, great piste conditions, all that is good with Italian skiing. And great value, too.

Best place to stay on the Sella Ronda for easy access to the whole of the Dolomiti Superski area. Wide variety of slopes, especially easier blues & reds for the less confident. Great hotels & food. Quieter nightlife.

My favourite area to ski. Stayed in Corvara which was ideally located to access the Sella Ronda in both directions as well as going off in other directions. As there is a choice of gondolas and lifts out of Corvara if one is queuing you can easily choose a different area. We were there two weeks and still didn’t get to all the areas our lift pass covered. Our hotel (Greif) was lovely and provided a shuttle to/from the lifts although it was walkable too. We were half board and food was good (South Tyrolean). Did not look to be that many options to eat out in the resort, but Mountain restaurants were also good. Highly recommend and definitely want to return.

great access to wide choice of quality off-piste terrain and routes. good value for money. good italia ambience.

My 2nd time in Selva. We arrived for the last week of January.
They'd been a shortage of fresh snowfall on the run up, so we were unsure of what to expect.
Evenso the slopes were managed and pisted superbly.
The resort has plenty of snow canons, and they made the most of them.

It's a massive ski area. Plenty of variety. Suitable for all levels.

The lift system in the main is modern, with very few older chairs or buttons.

There's no shortage of restaurants on the hills, and reasonably priced.
(It's not France).

Once you've got the 1st gondaler or chair of the day, you're away .

After a good days skiing, the bars are very conveniently placed at the bottom of the last runs.

There's something for everyone.

Whether you want to chill, or you're up for a wild couple of hours, there's something for everyone.

Also, there's no shortage of authentic Italian restaurants.

They get busy, so I'd recommend booking if your a group.

Overall a great ski area. Picturesque villages, friendly and accommodating folk.

My favourite ski area, and I wouldn't hesitate to return

Intermediate paradise, huge area lift pass, can do Sella Ronda circuit, Hidden Valley run, Marmolada glacier, and other linked resorts like Cortina d'Ampezzo. Great value and variety!

Snow, sun, spritz - Alta Badia has it all. Dramatic setting of the dolomites and easy access to the sella ronda make for enjoyable skiing. There are options for all ability levels. As intermediate myself, I found there was a nice balance of red runs where I could push myself and cruisy blues where I could work on refining technique. Food options are lovely and the people working in the resort were all friendly.

Was a great place to ski. The runs were well groomed. Was a relaxing time. There were lots of activities for non skiers as well. For a beginner skier lots of runs on the mountain were accessible

We visit Alta Badia regularly, it's a well connected resort across the Dolomiti Superski area. Something for everyone. Efficient lift operations and well maintained slopes.Typically we eat lunch out and there are plenty of options on the slopes.A great place to explore or start a ski adventure.

10/10 would recommend - quite slopes and some very long runs (12km!) some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever skied in alongside a fantastic choice of places to eat/drink.

Best ski resort ever! Dolomiti superski including alta Badia is just great. Been coming here every year since 10years. Slopes are prepped like. I where else, quit when you avoid school holidays, really good conditions and a lot of sunshine. Restaurants are affordable and food is great. The ski resort is one of the biggest in Europe when you get the dolomiti super ski pass, everything is linked never have to ski the same slopes again. Huge recommendation for the sellaronda which is a 42km round tour around the dolomites Sellajoch, sassolungo, langkofel and many more with great panorama views Best ski resort Ive been to in Europe 11/10 recommendation!

We just skied Alta Badia and surrounding resorts for our Christmas vacation. Skiing the Sella Ronda was the highlight of our trip! The weather and snow were amazing! The people we met and the food were spectacular!
