Alta Badia is situated between Val Pusteria, Val Gardena, Val di Fassa, Cortina and Arabba and includes the localites of Colfosco, Corvara, La Villa, San Cassiano, Pedraces, S. Leonardo and La Valle. These villages have become popular winter and summer holiday destinations, but are yet very proud of their customs and traditions. A perfect example is the Ladin language, which is still spoken in Val Badia.
