Visiting Alta Badia, Italy: Best Hikes and Villages (original) (raw)

Alta Badia is a mountain region surrounding the valley of Val Badia/Gadertal in South Tyrol in the Italian Dolomites. This holiday area encompasses the villages of Colfosco, Corvara, La Villa, San Cassiano, Badia, and La Val.

Nestled between the Fanes Group, the Sella Group, and the Puez Group, Alta Badia is one of the best places to stay in the Dolomites for hiking in summer and skiing in winter.

Showered in Michelin stars and spa hotels, Alta Badia emerges as a haven for those seeking both exquisite dining experiences and rejuvenating wellness retreats. Here in this enchanting valley, luxury and the raw beauty of nature converge harmoniously.

As you explore Alta Badia, you’ll quickly notice that each village (park, mountain hut, etc…) has three names: the Italian name, the German name, and the Ladin name. The Ladin people are the oldest (surviving) inhabitants of this mountainous region. Their culture, heritage, and language continue to thrive here.

Around 9000 years ago, Alta Badia was first discovered by ancient hunters and gatherers. Long-term settlements emerged circa 1700 BC, evident from Bronze Age artifacts discovered in Badia.

In the wake of Alpine integration into the Roman Empire, the populace of the Dolomites regions gradually adopted the Latin spoken by Roman soldiers, shaping it into the distinctive Ladin language, which is still spoken today.

The Ladin people distinguish themselves not only through their language but also through a rich cultural heritage rooted in mountain farming and artisanal crafts.

Where is Alta Badia

Val Badia (Gadertal in German) is a side valley of Puster Valley. The 35-km-long Dolomites valley runs south from Val Pusteria (Pustertal), near Brunico (Bruneck), to the Sella Group.

Alta Badia is distinctly the mountain region, ski resort, and “brand,” surrounding Upper Val Badia.

The region north of La Val (Wengen in German) is part of the Plan de Corones (Kronplatz) holiday resort, which includes San Martino in Badia (St. Martin in Thurn), San Vigilio (St. Vigil), Longiarù (Lungiarü, Campill), and other hamlets.

There are some stunning hiking trails in Lower Badia Valley, which are often overlooked.

If you’re seeking a quiet place to explore (best with a car), consider staying in the Ladin village of Lungiarü, nestled in a side valley of Val Badia. Check out Les Dolomites Mountain Resorts aparthotel (read our review) and Berghotel Sanví.

5. Sass de Putia Circuit Trail

Sass de Putia, Dolomites

Sass de Putia/Peitlerkofel is a solitary two-headed mountain in Puez-Odle Nature Park.

A highly enjoyable hiking path circuits Sass de Putia, weaving through forest and across alpine pastures.

The trail starts at the Passo delle Erbe mountain pass, high above Val Badia. From the pass, follow the road towards Sass de Putia. When you reach the alpine pastures at the base of the mountain’s northern slopes (20 minutes), turn right and follow signs to the Forcela de Pütia/Peitlerscharte mountain saddle.

The ascent to Forcela de Pütia saddle is the hardest part of the hike. It’s straightforward, but continuously uphill.

From here, the trail descends across romantic alpine pastures and continues to Ütia Vaciara and Ütia de Göma, two alpine pasture huts directly on the trail.

Insider Tip: You can stay directly at Passo delle Erbe at at Ütia de Börz, an upscale mountain refuge.

Along the way to Sass da Ciampac, you’ll cross the Cir Peaks, drop into Val de Chedul valley, and make a counter-ascent to Forcella de Crespeina, the gateway to the Crespëina High Plateau.

The ascent to Sass da Ciampac is straightforward and rewards you with wonderful views of Val Badia, the Sella Group, and the Puez Peaks. The descent to Crespëina plateau and Lake Crespëina is more difficult, because of the scree and slippery terrain.

8. Lungiarü – Ütia Ciampcios – Kreuzjoch Hike

Lungiarü - Ütia Ciampcios - Kreuzjoch Hiking Trail, Val Badia, Dolomites

Tucked away in a side valley of Val Badia, Lungiarü (Longiarù in Italian and Campill in German) serves as a secret gateway to Puez-Odle Nature Park.

The Lungiarü – Ütia Ciampcios – Kreuzjoch circuit trail is a well-rounded hike with meadow crossings, impressive mountain views, historic hamlets, and forest trails.

For a low-key outing (families with small children), we recommend hiking to Ütia Ciampcios, or Kreuzjoch saddle out-and-back. The circuit is recommended for surefooted hikers who love quiet trails and unfazed by crumbling, potentially washed out paths.

Trail Description

Ütia Ciampcios Mountain Pasture, Puez-Odle Nature Park, Dolomites

Starting at the Val di Morins Lungiarü paid car park, follow signs to Kreuzjoch, one of the passes that links Val di Funes with Val Badia.

After about 15 minutes, the wide gravel track divides. Bear right on trail 5 and ascend through the forest, passing scenic meadows along the way.

The ascent continues to the Ütia Ciampcios mountain pasture, which boasts one of the prettiest outlooks in the Dolomites. A congregation of Puez mountains stretching between Piz Duleda and Crep dales Dodesc (Antersasc) steals the show. And luckily, hikers can relish the view with regional goodies from the managed Ütia Ciampcios hut.

Continue following the gravel road to the Kreuzjoch saddle, where views open up to the cinematic Odle/Geisler peaks.

The circuit hike continues in the direction of Rifugio Genova (Schlüterhütte) along trail 3. After passing the managed Malga Medalges hut, cross the grassy slopes of Medalges and Sobutsch to a viewpoint overlooking Val Badia and the Fanes Group.

Veer left, carefully picking your way across a crumbling and rugged stretch of path, which is partially exposed.

Ignore the turn-off to Rifugio Genova and cross the pasture to Passo di Poma / Kreuzkofeljoch, following trail 4A.

At the next junction, turn right on trail 4 to Lungiarü/Campill. This quiet path descends across mountain pastures and then drops steeply down the forest to the bed of the Seres stream. Sections of the path are washed out.

Join the water mill trail (Roda dles Viles in Ladin, Mühlenweg in German) through the historic hamlets of Val di Morins (“Valley of the Mills”) to complete the circuit.

The hamlet of Misci (1612 m) was first mentioned in 1671. Eight water mills of Val di Morins are a cultural heritage and are fully functional due to the restoration efforts by locals.

9. Lago di Boe and Rifugio Franz Kostner

Hike to Rifugio Franz Kostner, Alta Badia, Italy

The day we arrived in Corvara, we walked to Cablecar Boé and took the gondola up for the views. We didn’t get a chance to do a long hike, because it was already late afternoon. But, we did walk to Rifugio Franz Kostner (2500 m) and to the small lake Lago di Boe (2250 m).

At the Cablecar Boé top station, there’s a stunning lookout point and posh lounge with indoor and outdoor seating. From here, the trail leads under the Vallon chairlift to Lago di Boe and then to Rifugio Franz Kostner. Honestly, this trail is boring, and we regretted not taking the Vallon chairlift up.

Rifugio Franz Kostner is a lively mountain hut with brilliant views of Marmolada, Civetta, and Pelmo. With more time, we would have hiked trail 638 to Piz Boé (next time!). There are also several via ferrata options in the area as well.

The highlight of our short visit was seeing a herdsman and his two dogs guide a flock of sheep down the mountain.

Trail Stats

Trailhead | Cablecar Boé, or Chairlift Vallon mountain station

Distance | 2 km one-way from Cablecar Boé top station to Rifugio Franz Kostner

Time Needed | 1 – 2 hours

When to Hike in Alta Badia, Italy

Sass da Ciampac hike, Alta Badia, Dolomites

Early/Mid-June until Mid/Late-October.

Weather permitting, the best time to hike in Alta Bada is from mid-June to mid-October.

That being said, most chairlifts and cableways only run until late September. There are plenty of trails that don’t require cableway ascents, so if you choose to arrive in October, you’ll still have options.

Another thing to consider is transit. If you’re planning to visit Alta Badia without a car, you should come between mid-June and mid-September. Starting in October, there are less frequent bus connections.
