Things to do
4-
Passo Gardena
A pass at 2,121 metres between Alta Badia and Val Gardena, under the walls of the Sella massif. It is one of the four passes on the Sella Ronda circuit and a stop rather than a destination. The road over it closes under snow outside the ski season.
-
Santa Croce
A pilgrimage church at 2,045 metres beneath the Sasso della Croce wall, reached on foot or by lift from Badia. It has stood on this shelf since the seventeenth century. A refuge beside it serves through the season and the walk down takes about an hour.
-
Sassongher
The pyramid standing directly over Corvara, climbed by a marked path that turns steep and exposed near the top. It is the local test piece and the summit looks straight down onto the Alta Badia valley. The path leaves from the top of the village lift.
-
Sella
The flat-topped massif the four passes run around, and the reason the Sella Ronda exists as a ski and cycling circuit. The Pordoi cable car reaches 2,950 metres on its eastern side. The circuit round it is signed in both directions and takes a full day.
