Ski Holidays in Corvara

Both Corvara and Colfosco have been popular with British skiers for many years. Both are located in the Alta Badia area of the Dolomites ski area forming part of the enjoyable Sella Ronda circuit. The Alta Badia area covers 130km of skiing, but the larger area on the Dolomites pass, is an impressive 1220km of pistes and includes the ski resorts of Arabba, Selva and Val di Fassa. The Ski Range is between 1568m and 2750m.

The scenery around the Dolomites is spectacular and every skier should try to see it and ski it!

The skiing here is suitable for every level of skier and snowboarder but favours intermediates to advanced skiers especially.

The local pass covers the skiing in La Villa, Pedraces and San Cassiano.

Corvara its self, offers a range of boutique shops, cafes and some lively après ski bars, where ski boot dancing is the norm. Colfosco is a pretty village next door and shares the same welcoming feel and is also well placed to enjoy the skiing in the sunny Alta Badia and the South Tyrol.

We offer a larger choice of hotels in Corvara than we do in the less popular Colfosco, call our team if you have any questions.

Why Ski in Corvara?

Corvara is well positioned with village lifts heading off to Selva, Arabba and San Cassiano – almost equal distances away. A long gondola heads out towards the Sella Ronda circuit, and two fast quads head out in the opposite direction towards Colfosco. The area around both lifts can get very congested at times. New for the 2006/2007 season a gondola is to replace the old chair to Col Alto.
