La Villa (Alta Badia) ski map explained
At the centre-right of the Alta Badia ski area, La Villa (1,433 m) appears as one of the main base villages, with several lifts, most notably those serving the Piz La Ila sector (approx. 2,100 m), providing direct access into the ski area.
- To the left (west side of the map), the terrain extends towards Corvara and Colfosco, forming the main connection hub of Alta Badia. This area is clearly denser on the map, with a large concentration of lifts and pistes, and it is from here that skiers access the Sella Ronda circuit, linking to Val Gardena, Arabba and Val di Fassa.
- To the right (east side of the map), the slopes run towards San Cassiano and the Lagazuoi sector, where the terrain becomes more open and scenic. This side includes long linking routes and access to the Lagazuoi ski tour, visible on the map as a distinct extension beyond the main Alta Badia circuit.
- Directly above La Villa, the Gran Risa slope is clearly identifiable on the map, descending steeply towards the village and marking one of the most technical sections of the ski area.
- Across the mid-mountain, the terrain forms a continuous network of lifts and pistes connecting all villages, with no isolated sectors, allowing skiers to move fluidly across the entire domain.
La Villa ski slopes
- For beginners, the easiest slopes are located close to La Villa and the surrounding villages, where clusters of blue runs and dedicated beginner zones are clearly marked near the base lifts. These areas are wide, gentle and well connected, allowing for gradual progression.
- For intermediate skiers, the core of the ski area lies across the central Alta Badia circuit, particularly between La Villa, Corvara and San Cassiano. The map shows a dense network of blue and red pistes, offering long, uninterrupted cruising runs and easy navigation between villages.
- For advanced skiers, the most notable terrain is concentrated around specific steep slopes rather than entire sectors, with the Gran Risa piste above La Villa standing out as the key challenge. Additional red and black runs are scattered across the higher areas, particularly towards the Corvara side.
