Corvara shines as a traditional village offering 130km of local skiing, links to the Dolomiti Superski, and access to the famous Sella Ronda ski circuit, all set against a backdrop of charming wooden architecture and scrumptious local cuisine.
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.

Plus, let's not forget the must-do Sella Ronda circuit—a 26km loop of blues and reds accessible through either Colfosco or Arabba.
