Alta Badia

Alta Badia is one of more than 180 ski resorts in Italy. It is located in the province of South Tyrol of the Trentino-Alto Adige region in the West Dolomites range of the Alps at an altitude between 1,324 and 2,550 m with a difference of 1,226 m. It is the nearest ski resort to Corvara, the main village in the namesake valley. The main feature of Alta Badia ski resort is that it is a 1/12 part of the Dolomiti Superski, the biggest ski area in Italy and the second in the world with more than 500 km of connected slopes after Les 3 Vallées in France (600 km). The particular resort has more than 130 km (mi) of slopes and more than 50 ski lifts in total. It is also incredibly famous for the Sellaronda ski route around the namesake Sella Group, which is 40 km or 6 hours long, of which about 1/3 is actually skiing. The resort is best suitable for easy and intermediate skiing — most of its slopes are blue and red. For advanced skiers, the resort has just about 10 km of black slopes. The most common type of ski lift is a chairlift. The Alta Badia season is from early December to mid-April in general.
