The Alta Badia Valley, which spreads over 16 km in the southeastern part of Südtirol/Alto Adige, lies in a sunny basin surrounded by imposing Dolomite peaks and framed by two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Puez - Odle Nature Park and the Fanes - Senes – Braies Nature Park.
The Puez - Odle Nature Park is extremely interesting from a geological point of view, here you can find all the rock strata which are typical of the Dolomites. One of the most popular entrances to the Nature Park is the Edelweiss Valley in Colfosco. The rustic-romantic valley is destination and start point of many hikes. The views from every point of the valley are simply unique, but the view from the Col Pradat hill on the Sella massif and the Val de Mesdí Valley is especially worth mentioning. The mountain seems close enough to touch them!
In winter, the Edelweiss Valley is especially popular for leisurely skiers and families.
Follow the SS244 Val Badia road towards Corvara and continue on road SS37 to Colfosco.
