Colfosco village

Colfosco is the highest settlement in the valley and the upper end of the line 460 bus from Brunico, with stops at the tourist office and Mesules in the South Tyrol timetable. It is the closest of the Alta Badia villages to Gardena Pass and so to the Sella Ronda loop.

Pescosta

Pescosta is a hamlet of the municipality of Corvara, between Corvara and Colfosco, on the same stretch of valley. It suits visitors who want to be between the two villages rather than in either centre; line 460 lists a Pera Ciaslat stop between Colfosco and Corvara, but check which stop is nearest before booking.

Corvara

Corvara is the municipality that contains Colfosco and, according to Wikipedia, the central hub of Alta Badia. The line 460 timetable lists a bus station there, so it is a convenient point for onward connections along the route.

La Villa
- families
- alpine atmosphere
- skiers
La Villa (Stern in German) is further down the valley and one of the five main villages that the Alta Badia tourist board lists. The 460 bus calls at the Casa della Cultura stop, and the village is within the same ski area.
San Cassiano
- skiers
- walkers
San Cassiano (San Ćiascian) is another of the five main villages of Alta Badia named by the tourist board. It lies further along the valley from Colfosco, so check bus times if you plan to move between villages.
Getting around Colfosco
The usual rail gateway is Brunico (Bruneck), from where the line 460 bus runs up the valley through Pedraces, La Villa and Corvara to Colfosco. The South Tyrol public transport timetable for line 460 lists stops at Corvara bus station, La Villa and Pedraces on the way to Brunico, so check the current timetable for times. A local guide to the valley names Bolzano, Innsbruck, Venice and Verona as the main airports, giving about an hour from Bolzano and about an hour and 45 minutes from Innsbruck.
On the mountain, Alta Badia is linked to Dolomiti Superski, and the Sella Ronda circuit goes around the Sella massif by lift in either direction, crossing the Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena passes. In summer the same trails can be ridden by mountain bike.
Living in Colfosco for longer
Colfosco itself is small, so a longer stay here is mostly about the mountains: walking, cycling, skiing and the Ladin culture that the tourist board highlights, including handicrafts and local cooking. A kitchen is useful because the villages are spread along the valley, and bus journeys to Corvara or La Villa are a short step if you want a wider choice.
If you are working remotely or staying several weeks, compare the villages by bus access along line 460 rather than distance alone, and check which village suits your daily routine. The aparthotel versus hotel guide covers what changes with a longer stay.
When to visit Colfosco
Alta Badia is a winter resort as well as a summer one. Wikipedia lists around 130 km of skiable terrain served by 51 lifts, with the Gran Risa giant slalom run a regular December stop on the World Cup circuit. The tourist board lists the Audi FIS Ski World Cup among its winter events.
In summer the same lifts serve hiking, mountain biking, road cycling and via ferrata routes. Lift dates change each year, so check the lift operators and the tourist board before you book.
The village sits in Alta Badia, one of the valleys linked into Dolomiti Superski and the Sella Ronda circuit. Below are the villages worth comparing, how the bus from Brunico works, and when the area is open for skiing and walking.
