One of the best-connected resorts in the world’s largest ski area, Corvara sits at the heart of a 1,220km network of pistes. Lifts radiate from the village in every direction, making it easy to explore the wider Alta Badia area and beyond. Stick to the local slopes for relaxed blues and reds, or head further afield to Val di Fassa for varied terrain and Arabba for more challenging runs. The Sella Ronda circuit is also within easy reach, with access to both clockwise and anti-clockwise routes via nearby lifts.

Corvara itself is a traditional Dolomite village, with chalet-style buildings arranged around a central piazza. Half-board hotels are the standard, offering friendly service and high-quality food that makes it easy to settle in and feel at home. Evenings are typically low-key, with much of the social scene centred around hotel bars and lounges, perfect for a glass of local wine after a day on the mountain.

The scenery is a major highlight, and winter walks are a great way to slow down and take in the dramatic views of the surrounding Dolomites.
