Corvara for beginners

Beginners rating -
70
Perfect
Corvara excels as a beginner-friendly destination within the Dolomiti Superski area. It’s not just about the small nursery area in the village; you'll find a good collection of gentle blue runs that give a sense of distance covered. Keep an eye out for the runs around the Braia Fraida chairlift, and don't overlook the blues around the Vizza and Maserai chairlifts which are a tad longer. The picture-perfect scenery adds the finishing touch, complete with the quintessential winter town, pine forests, and towering snowy peaks.

Perfect
For intermediates, Corvara is a veritable playground, enveloped by some of the best cruise-friendly terrain. Days can be spent navigating a labyrinth of blues, or, if you fancy a change, tackle some lengthier red runs like Boé and Costoratta. Plus, let's not forget the must-do Sella Ronda circuit—a 26km loop of blues and reds accessible through either Colfosco or Arabba.

While Corvara's Alta Badia area may not be a haven for experts, the broader Dolomiti Superski offers plenty of challenging runs and off-piste terrain. Experts should head for the trails around Arabba or Selva and be sure to catch the renowned Gran Risa run in La Villa, known for its World Cup race.

Alta Badia might not be the first pick for expert snowboarders, but the larger Dolomiti Superski region offers an array of challenging slopes and off-piste excitement. Arabba and Selva are the go-to spots for more advanced riders, and the Gran Risa run in La Villa shouldn't be missed, especially if you're into World Cup-level challenges.

Corvara for off-pistes

Fun
Perfect
Corvara is a bit of a hidden gem when it comes to challenging off-piste action in Italy. Make sure to explore the famous couloirs in the Val Scura area, or venture to Val Mezdi for some steep routes and untouched powder.
