Over 80 km of signposted paths are ideal for Nordic walking and snowshoeing. Guided hikes introduce local wildlife like fox, roe deer and rabbit.

Alta Badia for Non-Skiers

Ski between all the Alta Badia villages with the Alta Badia ski pass. We stayed in San Cassiano which has a gondola up to the main central ski area nearby.

Alta Badia Villages

There are ski schools in all the villages offering skiing, snowboarding and cross-country lessons. I recommend La Villa in San Cassiano and La Villa for equipment rentals.

Ski Schools and Ski Rental

The area has a good record of snow due to its high altitude. Being south-facing there’s a good amount of sunshine and shelter from chilly northerly winds.
