Off-Piste

The Dolomites region offers some of the best off-piste skiing in the world. It boasts a variety of thrilling descents, including steep and expansive valley runs like Val Mesdi and Cresta Bianche, as well as challenging couloirs such as Bus de Tofana. The infamous Marmolada, the largest glacier in the Dolomites, provides a challenging and exhilarating experience. With the Dolomiti Superski, it's even possible to achieve 24,000-foot vertical descents in a single day.

Corvara Village

Located in the heart of the Dolomites, Corvara is the largest among a cluster of villages that make up the renowned Alta Badia ski area. Known for its laid-back and sophisticated atmosphere, Corvara is seen as the jewel in the Alta Badia crown.

Corvara is an excellent destination for beginners, as a significant portion of the local slopes consists of long, gentle blue runs, perfect for learning and improving your skills. For intermediate skiers seeking more challenging terrain, Selva and Arabba offer a variety of options. While Corvara itself may not have extensive terrain for advanced skiers, the vast Dolomiti Superski area provides a wide range of suitable slopes. It's important to note that off-piste skiing is prohibited in certain areas, so caution should be exercised when venturing off the designated trails.

In addition to its own expansive slopes, Corvara also offers access to the Sella Ronda ski circuit (you can read our comprehensive Corvara skiing review from March 2024 to find out more). This circuit connects the Alta Badia resort to several other neighbouring resorts, including Arabba and Selva. Even though the snowfall can be erratic, Corvara features some of the most high-tech and effective snow machines in the world.
