With more than 1200 slopes Alta-Badia and the entire ski area of the Dolomites are a real winter paradise, which was formed 200 million years ago at the site of the once-existing primitive sea. In particular, once the highest and most famous peaks of the Dolomites - the Sella massif, the Marmolada glacier and the Mount Sivetta - were atolls.
