and take our way to La Val...I choose to stay in La Val, since i got an offer for an apartment which was incomparable: for eight nights, 18-26 Dec, total cost 186 Euro for two persons incl. taxes, final cleaning etc... the total cost was 246 but because of the offer "stay 4 pay 3" the cost was 186...

to be honest the house was at 1.600 m. altitude...over village...the first time i was little scared because of the road...around 23.50 pm, i saw a small road, only for one car to pass, full of black ice on the left side...but it was ok....
i like very much Alta Badia....the scenery IS AMAZING...just AMAZING...Dolomite Mountain are something extraordinary...i have to admitt: i purely love Austria...austrian alps, villages, cities...but Dolomites are the most beautifull place for skiing-snowboarding...
i dont like that many people smoke cigarettes and throw them on the snow...a ski/snowboard professor did so, when he was on a chairlift....
generally:
+ X 10 for the amazing scenery
+ for sella ronda (one day i will do it)
+ for perfect grooming
+ for connection between villages...i liked very much the bridges over roads
+ many blue slopes for practice
+ cheap private courses
+ small hutte in pralongia II i think...cheap, and tasty soups....
+ nice, cheap apartment....with nice view
+ speak a little german (practice...yeahhh)
- throwing cigarettes on the snow???? in UNESCO world heritage????? no no no no no no.....
- some berg restaurants VERY EXPENSIVE....25 euro for one soup, one lasagna, two large skiwasser....25 Euro???
- at 25 Dec. raining...destroyed our last ski day, and at 14.00 the rain became snow....
so...some photo
lets start with.
