Corvara: The beating heart of Alta Badia
Located at an altitude of 1568 meters, at the foot of the majestic Sassongher massif, Corvara has always been considered the tourist hub of Alta Badia. The gaze drifts between the Dolomite walls, which at sunset turn pink and orange, offering unforgettable landscapes.
As early as the 18th century, Corvara was a destination for travelers attracted by its peaks: it was the locals who led the first alpine expeditions. Today, it is one of the most beloved places for sports enthusiasts, thanks also to the first ski lift of the Dolomites, Col Alto, inaugurated in 1938, and the first ski school of Alta Badia, founded in 1947. In winter, the ski resort offers perfectly groomed slopes, cross-country ski trails immersed in the woods, and tracks leading to the stunning Pisciadù waterfall.
High-altitude golf and alpine beauty
Just a few minutes from the town center, in the peaceful hamlet of Tranrüs, there is a 9-hole golf course among the highest in Europe: a green at an altitude of 1700 meters, surrounded by green meadows, fir trees, and snow-capped peaks. A challenge for players, a gift for the eyes.
Art and spirituality treasures
Corvara is also culture and spirituality. The Parish Church of Santa Caterina, consecrated in 1452, is a refined example of Gothic architecture. Inside, a triptych from 1520 by Ruprecht Potsch is preserved, depicting Saint Catherine of Alexandria and her martyrdom: a rare masterpiece of intensity.
Relax at high altitude
During the summer, the perfect place to relax is the biotope lake of Corvara. Here you can swim in clear waters, sunbathe on comfortable loungers, sip something at the wooden bar-restaurant, or let the little ones have fun in the dedicated pond and play area.
