Welcome to the Dolomites

“The most beautiful natural architecture in the world”

Whilst skiing on gently sloping pastures, you are surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs, providing a theatrical backdrop to some of the most enjoyable skiing in Europe.

You will be stunned by the magnificence of these colossal mountains and their striking features. The glorious colour changes from a pale sandy pink in the morning to a rich pink-red glow at sunset against a deep blue sky. No wonder it has been declared a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.

best of both worlds....

The ski areas of Val Gardena and Alta Badia are situated in the South Tyrol Region of the Italian Dolomites. Bordering Austria, it is well known for its reliable snow and higher than average sunshine hours.

Although officially Italian, German is widely spoken in addition to the local language of “Ladin”.

The fusion of the different cultures has created an area that has something to suit everyone: Massive ski arena with a choice of slopes for all abilities, cosy mountain huts & bars providing cappuccinos, pasta, formaggio and prosciutto, as well as Glühwein, Spätzle, Wurstl and Speck.

The changing identity of the region, which is more Austrian than Italian, has resulted in some interesting history, culture and cuisine, creating a resort with much more to offer than just skiing.
