San Cassiano

The six villages of the Alta Badia region - Corvara, Colfosco, San Cassiano, La Villa, La Val and Badia - are all set in some of the most stunning scenery of the South Tyrol. The skiing around these villages is varied and will suit all level of skiing ability. The position is very central to the Sella Ronda and the valleys of the Dolomite resorts radiate out around you. The Marmolada glacier towers over the surrounding peaks and is easily reached via the resorts of Arabba and the Porto Vescovo cable car.
The famous Gran Risa Men's Giant Slalom FIS World Cup run at La Villa is one of the most challenging slalom tracks on the circuit, with 448m of vertical.

San Cassiano (linking to the Sella Ronda via Corvara) is one of the prettier villages and is working towards being completely car free. It also happens to give easy access to one of the best ski descents in the whole region, the 'hidden valley' run. The main gondola is a short drive from the hotels of the village centre but most places lie on a free shuttle service to and from. Well-connected but somewhat slow (but some would say 'relaxing') chairlifts fan out from the top of the gondola accessing miles of easy cruising terrain with accompanying stunningly scenic views.

Ski holidays in San Cassiano give you access to the huge Sella Ronda and Dolomiti Superski area, with over 1,000 kilomtres of pistes covered under just one ski pass.
