Activities for Non-Cycling Days
There are several other ways to enjoy your vacation in the mountains aside from biking.
Walking & Hiking
Paths wind their way through the spectacular scenery of the Dolomites with trails to suit hikers of all ages and abilities, from the most experienced to those who just want a nice quiet walk. During the summer, hikers can take advantage of the mountain pass service which takes them directly to the mountain top.
Our staff is always on hand to recommend the best routes.
Guests can purchase the mountain pass for the lifts directly in the hotel.
Paths and trails can be downloaded from the following websites: Alta Badia and www.trekking.suedtirol.info
Via Ferratas
The Dolomites are the number one location for via ferratas (literally «iron paths») in terms of their quantity and quality: experienced climbers are familiar with the thrill of tackling these difficult but exciting routes. Even beginners can rise to the challenge but we recommend you go accompanied by an skilled Alpine guide: we guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience.
Advice and assistance available from our ski instructor and Alpine guide, Ingo Irsara.
Equipment provided free of charge for groups of up to three people.
Guests can purchase the mountain pass for the lifts directly at the hotel.
Culture
Badia is a small village located in the centre of the Ladin region which includes Val Badia, Val Gardena, Val di Fassa, Livinalongo (the valleys around the Sella Massif) and the valley of Cortina d'Ampezzo. The history of these valleys goes back thousands of years and the Ladin culture with its age-old traditions is still very much alive in the typical architecture of the «viles» (farming villages), the building decorations in the graffito technique and the traditional costumes. The Ladin language is still spoken today and taught in schools to remind the younger generations of the origins of their people.
