Corvara lies in a sunny basin at the end of the upper southern Gadertal valley and is surrounded by the massive mountains of the Dolomites. The village is one of the three Ladin municipalities of Alta Badia valley and is spread across the three villages of Corvara, Pescosta and Kolfuschg, which have nearly grown together over the course of the years.

The 2,665-metre-high Sassongher mountain towers majestically above Corvara. The Sella massif and Puez-Geisler Nature Park surround the village, which can look back on a long tradition of tourism and is still a popular place for holidays – also with high society. The Sellaronda, the circuit route around the Sella massif, is popular with skiers in winter and mountain bikers in summer. Anyone going for a Farm Holiday in Corvara will spend it in a cosy mountain village with impressive mountains in the background and plenty of free time options.

Between culture and enjoyment
Corvara has been described as the cradle of tourism in Alta Badia valley. Back in the 18th century, the first guests came on holiday here and climbed the surrounding Dolomite peaks accompanied by local guides. In 1938, the first ski lift was built, a drag lift, which was replaced in 1947 by the first chair lift in Italy. Even then, guests enjoyed the views of the Marmolata glacier, the Sella massif and the many Dolomite peaks on Pralongià plateau.

There are attractions not far from your holiday flat or room in Corvara for culture-seekers, such as the parish church of St. Katharina. The Holy Cross Church lies at the foot of the Fanes-Sennes mountain range and a permanent exhibition of watercolours and studies in bronze are on display in the atelier of Raimund Mussner. Gourmets will be able to look forward to the numerous restaurants, cosy bars, cake shops, tea rooms and chocolate shops.

Active in summer and winter
Those seeking a bit of action on holiday in Corvara can choose between a number of options at any time of year. In summer, there are strolls in the valley, extensive walks through Puez-Geisler Nature Park and more challenging tours to mountain peaks on the Sassongher or the Piz Boè. One highlight for experienced Alpine hikers with a head for heights is definitely Pisciadù 'via ferrata' in the Sellastock massif.
Indoor and outdoor tennis courts and Sotscofes lake will add variety to your Farm Holiday. 'Tranrüs' 9-hole golf course set at 1,700 metres above sea level is three kilometres from Corvara.
There are 130 easy to challenging pistes and super-modern lifts to look forward to for leisurely skiers, families with children and expert skiers in winter. In the middle of the village there is a direct connection to two of the finest ski circuits in the Alps: the Sellaronda and the First World War ski circuit. Skiing around the Sella massif, in particular, should be one of the things to do on a Farm Holiday in Corvara.
The landscape of Corvara is also suitable for winter walks, snow shoe walks and ski tours. There is a covered ice stadium and cross-country runs through woodland up to Pisciadù waterfall.
