La Villa in Alta Badia
Alpine village in a dream location
Gentle meadows and old courtyards, white rock faces and sky to see all round. This is La Villa, a montane village (1480 m) in Alta Badia, with locals who speak Ladin. Embedded in a breath-taking rocky landscape, it is situated between the Dolomite wildlife parks Puez-Geisler and Fanes-Sennes-Prags. The Ćiastel Colz castle and the church both testify to the traditional Ladin culture. There are also first-rate restaurants and the annual world cup for the giant slalom at the Gran-Risa-Piste to spark some international flair.
