I have just returned from a fantastic week in this part of the Dolomites. Amazingly good quality snow, both natural and man made! One review I read suggested Corvara can be on the quiet side, however, not if you visit the Taverna at Posta Zirm in Corvara, which is well known for its apres-ski atmosphere. The hotel is good value for money - with the facility to virtually ski in and ski out! The spa facilities are the best I have experienced in the area.Great food as well!.
Notably, Corvara is ideally situated both for the Sella Ronda ski circuit, and the 200 plus kilometres of the Alta Badia circuit. You ski from valley to valley with the benefit of fantastic panoramas from each summit. No wonder this area is well frequented by some well known Hollywood film stars in more recent years.
It's just as well there are less hotel beds in Corvara than in similar resorts such as Selva. The village should remain as it is - rather than become another anonymous mountain ski resort. Of the 30 or so ski trips I have made since starting this sport - this is by far the best for intermediate skiers seeking both ski safaris and the odd challenging run here and there.
