Entire volumes could be written about walks and Nordic skiing in Alta Badia. Just step out of your apartment at Ciasa Janing in Colfosco and you will find a wide choice of prepared walking paths and Nordic skiing areas. Passionate trekkers, equipped with snowshoes have at their disposal 80 km of groomed and marked paths, immersed in a delightful scenery among the majestic peaks of the Dolomites. The easiest escapes can be definitely done on your own, while for high-altitude and challenging ascents it is important to have by your side a qualified UIAGM guide.

In any case the leading part on the winter stage belongs to silence: hiking up desert slopes, crossing virgin forests, walking through a sun-kissed valley, away from the chaos and hustle of big cities. An experience which is able to regenerate your body, spirit and mind, ideal both for sports enthusiasts and tourists looking for some healthy open air activities. And when it's time for rest and refreshment, get ready for a hard choice between numerous Alpine huts, offering delicious typical meals prepared according to the old Ladin traditions. Don't miss, among many other dishes, the unique barley soup, turtres (a sort of stuffed crullers), ravioli with spinach filling and the legendary furtaies, a scrumptious dessert in the form of fried spirals.
