\"\"Skiers outnumber snowboarders by far in the Alta Badia<\/strong> area of the Dolomites<\/strong>, which nonetheless is very appropriate for intermediate boarders<\/strong> due to the wide runs and gentle slopes. The main difficulties are avoiding (a) the fast and impolite German speaking skiers and (b) the flat connecting runs.<\/p>\n

For a solid intermediate to advanced boarder I recommend our …<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three favourite runs<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Bamby B run off the Bamby chairlift or the Piz la Ila gondola: excellent for carving in the first half, a good even steep angle in the second half for short turns down the side. A great cardiovascular workout!<\/li>\n
  • Gran Risa (red) access from Bamby or Piz la Ila: the famous run for world cup races has a red (american blue square equivalent) or black route. The first part is steep and icy, black, which then divides into a challenging black, or a very long and pleasant red. There are some flat bits that are easily dealt with if you properly judge where to pick up speed. At the bottom of the red is a chairlift to connect you to La Villa town or gondola.<\/li>\n
  • Piz Sorega red run under the gondola that departs from San Cassiano: slightly easier than Bamby B, excellent for carving the whole way down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Here is a little video of me on Piz Sorega practicing carving with Tommaso on very mushy, slow snow (it was very sunny the whole week we were there).
