Corvara Ski Resort

Corvara Ski Resort hosts a delightful village nestled in the heart of the Alta Badia region. The Alta Badia region is known as one of the more prestigious ski race venues on the World Cup circuit.

Corvara ski resort offers access to an abundance of runs for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. At 1,568m, the gentle slopes closest to the village make Corvara ski resort a natural choice for beginners and families, with plenty of nursery terrain and wide blues right on the doorstep. More experienced skiers have effortless access to the Sella Ronda, the famous circuit linking Corvara with Arabba, Canazei, and Selva, as well as the wider 1,100km Dolomiti Superski area beyond it.

After a day on the slopes, our experts particularly recommend Hotel La Perla for its Michelin-starred restaurant, or Chalet Pia for a self-catered mountain retreat in the heart of the village. Our ski experts are here to help you find the perfect Corvara ski package. Contact our team or browse our latest ski deals to start your Corvara skiing adventure.

Corvara: Core Highlights & Key Advantages

Family-Friendly Slopes At Your Doorstep

Corvara's gentle nursery runs and wide blues sit right by the village centre, so families can be on skis within minutes without a bus transfer.

Michelin-Starred Dining

Hotel La Perla's La Stua de Michil holds a Michelin star, giving Corvara great fine-dining options that's rare for a resort this family-oriented.

Easy Sella Ronda Access

The Col Alto gondola lifts straight out of the village onto the Sella Ronda circuit, so the full 130km of connected pistes is reachable without a single transfer.

One of Alta Badia's Largest Villages

As one of the biggest bases in the Alta Badia region, Corvara has more restaurants, shops, and après options on its doorstep than most of its smaller neighbours.

  • There are numerous gentle ski runs, including a nursery area.

Snowboarding in Oberlech

Corvara’s wide, gentle pistes near the village make it a forgiving spot for snowboarders learning the basics.

  • The Sella Ronda circuit offers plenty of varied terrain for intermediate and confident riders to link resorts across the Dolomites.
  • Snowboard-specific lessons are available through the resort’s ski schools, with instructors experienced in coaching all levels.

Sophie's Top Runs

Boè

I love taking the cable car up to Boè. The views back across the Dolomites from up there are some of the best in the whole Sella Ronda.


La Para

I love this run because it’s a genuinely easy blue with no flat sections to fight against, just a smooth, steady glide all the way down.


Vallon (Arabba)

If you’re up for a challenge, I’d recommend skiing over to Arabba for the Vallon run. It’s the steepest piste on the whole Sella Ronda circuit.

Ski Schools in Corvara
