Alta Badia - this is how South Tyrol should be!

Alta Badia lies in the heart of the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites. The region could not be more South Tyrolean, as it offers the breathtaking panoramas familiar from this area. Added to this is the Ladin culture that is preserved here.

As you can see, you'll get your money's worth here, both in terms of scenery and culture. And what about mountain biking? Clearly, Alta Badia delivers the biking highlights. Whether you're an MTB beginner, with the family or a downhill junkie.

How about tours such as the one to the Church of the Holy Cross in Badia? Or the Sellaronda for die-hard bikers? You're guaranteed never to get bored here. And then there's the excellent cuisine, which will revitalise you before the tour and give you the energy you need to get going again the next day. True to the motto: Ride. Sleep. Repeat.
