Val Badia – Trentino-Alto Adige. Ladin culture, Dolomite landscapes and traditions that stand the test of time. Val Badia, in the heart of the South Tyrolean Dolomites, is one of the most characteristic and evocative valleys in the region. Inhabited by a Ladin population proud of its identity, it combines spectacular scenery, authentic villages and services of the highest level, both in summer and winter. ⛷️ Winter on the slopes of Dolomiti Superski: Part of the vast Dolomiti Superski area, Val Badia offers direct access to the Sella Ronda circuit and hundreds of kilometers of perfectly snow-covered slopes. La Villa, San Cassiano, Corvara and Colfosco are ideal locations for skiing with a view of the Dolomites. 👉 Tip: Do the complete tour of the Sella Ronda at least once in an anticlockwise direction: views and adrenaline guaranteed. 🥾 Dolomite summer between pastures and refuges: When the snow melts, the valley reveals paths, woods and pastures ideal for scenic walks and high-altitude treks. Each route is marked and well cared for, with refuges and huts that offer welcome and refreshment. 👉 Tip: Walk the Artists' Path above La Villa, where nature and sculptures dialogue in harmony. 🎨 A valley that speaks Ladin: Ladin, an ancient Rhaeto-Romance language still alive in everyday life, is spoken here. Culture can be found in architecture, gastronomy, customs and folklore. Local museums, such as the Museum Ladin Ciastel de Tor, tell the story and identity of the valley. 👉 Tip: Take part in one of the Ladin summer festivals to discover customs, dances and typical dishes in an authentic atmosphere. 🍽️ High quality Alpine cuisine: Val Badia is known for its gastronomic excellence. From the simplest dishes such as tutres, cajincí, speck and cheeses, to starred restaurants that reinterpret tradition. A journey into taste that satisfies every palate. 👉 Tip: Treat yourself to lunch in a hut with a view of the Sassongher and let yourself be surprised by the quality even at high altitude. 🛌 Sleeping in the heart of the Dolomites: The valley offers a wide range of accommodation: family gasthof, wellness hotels, panoramic apartments and renovated farms. The hospitality is careful and discreet, in full respect of the environment and local traditions. 👉 Tip: Choose a hotel with a sauna and a view of the Dolomites to end the day in maximum relaxation. Val Badia is a place that tells its story with pride and simplicity: the mountains here are not only to be seen, but to really experience.
