🇮🇹 Dolomites
Corvara
Alta Badia's gourmet heart, Michelin mountain huts under the Sella.
Corvara is the main village of Alta Badia, a polished, Ladin-speaking corner of the Dolomites beneath the Sella towers and the pyramid of the Sassongher. It's quietly upscale and famous for one thing above all: the best mountain-hut dining in the Alps, where rifugi run serious kitchens and a hiking lunch becomes the highlight of the trip.
