Introducing Val Badia
Many Ladin legends are set on the nearby Fanes high plain, which forms part of the magnificent Parco Naturale di Fanes-Sennes-Braies. This is one of the most evocative places in the Dolomites and can be reached easily from the Val Badia, either on foot or by cable car from Passo Falzarego.

Villages in the valley – Colfosco (1645m), Pedraces (1324m), La Villa (1433m), San Cassiano (1537m) and Corvara (1568m) – together form the Alta Badia ski area, which is part of the Dolomiti Superski domain. Of the Alta Badia’s 130km of slopes, it is the Gran Risa ski slope, 4.5km north of Corvara in La Villa, that is undoubtedly the most legendary.
