On the slopes
Although Corvara could be described as being mostly for intermediate skiers, its location in the Dolomiti Superski Area provides visitors on holiday with access to over a dozen more resorts with over 530 pistes in total for all levels. For those who do not want to venture too far away from the Corvara ski resort the 130km of pisted runs still offer a great deal of variety.
There are 84 slopes for all levels of skiers although only four of these match expert levels and 40km of cross country trails as well. Snowboarding is also popular at the Corvara ski resort so you may want to bring your board along for the skidoos and torch light descents.

Off the slopes
The Corvara ski resort area is actually one of the largest villages in the Dolomiti Superski Area which provides for a rambunctious nightlife if you can muster any energy after leaving the slopes. With twenty different restaurants offering a number of local and traditional cuisines including classic Italy and French flavour as well as 20 bars there is plenty to check out and see after hours.
For those with a lot of energy and seeking an active holiday there are also three nightclubs well worth checking out that tend to draw resort visitors from all over the Dolomiti area.
Additionally, there is an ice rink, snowshoe trails, and walking trails for those who need family alternatives to the party nightlife of the Corvara ski resort. The area is also known for its wide and exclusive varieties of wine and beer choices.
WE LIKE
- Fantastic resort for all levels - areas virtually split up into difficulty - Alta Badia mainly beginner to intermediate
- Dolimiti ski area is one the world's leading ski areas - so you won't get bored or not be challenged
- Traditional village dating back to 12th Century - you get a sophisticated and warm welcome
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- Area is so spread out different levels of skiers/boarders may get split up
- Busy periods (read Feb) and during Carnival it gets manically busy
- If you want a big party town - it's not that level of après-ski - but lively all the same
