Skied this area and the surrounding resorts of the Sella Ronda several times between 2014-2016 and overdue another visit.
I've skied all over the Alps in the past 35 years and have to say the Dolomites are jaw-dropingly beautiful. The skiing is pretty good too, with plenty of challenge all around the Sella Ronda and lots of cruising runs for intermediates.
The lift system is modern and impressive, though not quite as cutting edge as the big name resorts in nearby Tirol. But generally far better than the French equivalents.
The area has a well earned reputation for gourmet cuisine both on and off the mountain, with hostelries dotted all over the area which pretty much guarantee great pitstop each lunchtime.
Corvara, itself, is delightful and generally low key on the apres-ski front but there is a cracking bar at the bottom of the piste opposite the Boe Gondelbahn. Murin is more full on and rather like the big name bars in St Anton and Ischgl. If you want to party hard everyday, then neighbouring Selva is probably a better bet but the pistes are busier.
Cost wise, the value for money is excellent. Slightly cheaper than Austria. But massively cheaper than both France and Switzerland. Moreover, there is no compromise on the quality of hotels and subsistence.

Three times here and so much to explore. 2016 had a poor start with snow but the piste maintenance was superb. Did the Sella Ronda in both directions with all pistes perfect. Many mountain restaurants and good food at good prices. Corvara is very quiet; don't go for apres-ski, but go for no queues, easy access, stunning scenery and friendly service. Can't fault it and struggling to find a better place for a relaxing and adventurous ski week.

Just back from a week skiing (March 2016). I pity a bit those who skied the previous week and those this week. The previous week they had at least one white out day, which laid an excellent base. It was topped up on Tuesday night. So the best week skiing I have ever had with clear blue skies and zero clouds most days. Corvara itself has a good plateau with lots of easy blues but the real fun is the Super Dolomiti. We covered 185km slips on 110 lifts (73 different ones) including the Sellaronda, Marmolada (the highest in the area at 3,200m), Hidden Valley, Val Gardena, etc. Most days were a long way out, lunch and then looping back. And all of the runs pisted nightly so I felt like a really good skier. It did mean that the blacks were steep but not mogully. And more reds than blacks. So perfect for me, a 60 year old who first skied at 16. Loved it.

We stayed, in Corvara, at the family owned and run Hotel Posta Zirm. It was an amazing experience as the family welcomes you in to their home. Walking out the back door to the Col Alt lift was fantastic and a quick run down to Boe where you can start the epic Sellaronda ski tour.
The village of Corvara, in Badia, is charming and not over-run by up tight skiers. The food and wine bars, in the areas, offer all of the Italian food and wine as well as the typical Tyrolean dishes. We needed to climb some hills to burn off all of the good food we ate.
A must see destination for snow seekers with a passion for beautiful sites, culture, food, wine and the ability to take a nice spa treatment at the Hotel Posta wellness center.

I was surfing and found this site and thought it correct to comment.
Corvara has brilliant scenery, is on the Sella Ronda, close to the Marmalade, and not far from Cortina.
Piste grooming, lift queues, mountain restaurants are superb. Our hotel was better than anything I have ever had in Switzerland-and cheaper!
Cannot recommend this spot too much; access is difficult, it's quiet at night, but worth the mission to get there!

I skied in Corvara in season 2010 with 14 other skiers from Australia.
We have all skied all over the world and had such a good time there we are returning for this ski season 2011/12. We found the skiing absolutely fantastic and took guides on a number of days and they took us to places we probably would not have found ourselves. We are all very competent skiers and found many challenging runs. The Selaronda ski tour both ways exceptional fun with many on ski eating areas. We also frequented La Perla restaurant in Corvara and Shria restaurant in Colfosco on a number of occasions, both worth a visit as food was good. We actually stayed in Colfosco and loved it, we are staying there again.

I have just returned from a fantastic week in this part of the Dolomites. Amazingly good quality snow, both natural and man made! One review I read suggested Corvara can be on the quiet side, however, not if you visit the Taverna at Posta Zirm in Corvara, which is well known for its apres-ski atmosphere. The hotel is good value for money - with the facility to virtually ski in and ski out! The spa facilities are the best I have experienced in the area.Great food as well!.
Notably, Corvara is ideally situated both for the Sella Ronda ski circuit, and the 200 plus kilometres of the Alta Badia circuit. You ski from valley to valley with the benefit of fantastic panoramas from each summit. No wonder this area is well frequented by some well known Hollywood film stars in more recent years.
It's just as well there are less hotel beds in Corvara than in similar resorts such as Selva. The village should remain as it is - rather than become another anonymous mountain ski resort. Of the 30 or so ski trips I have made since starting this sport - this is by far the best for intermediate skiers seeking both ski safaris and the odd challenging run here and there.

I have been going to Colfosco, a small village outside Corvara for the past 7 years. This does sound sad but I have skied in France, Austria and Switzerland for the previous 15 years. The French seem only to want your money. In fifteen years of skiing in France I have only one good experience. In a local bar in Italy you will always be made welcome. The first year in a local bar they even made a cake for the last night, not ideal with beer but what a gesture. Now we are welcomed back as part of the family.
The skiing is fantastic if you like hard packed, well groomed pistes. They are looked after so well you will not have rocks coming through like my last visit to Tignes (after only two day after 500mm of snow fell.) 90% of the Dolimiti super ski area is covered by snow cannons. I skied in Selva at the new year and it had not snowed for 3 weeks but the pistes were perfect so you don`t have to worry about it snowing as long as it is cold enough. The off-piste is very limited and not so good for boarders as some blue runs are a bit flat. The best piste for me is the hidden valley at Lagazuoi; steep, flat, wide, narrow, frozen water falls and you get pulled in the last km behind a horse and sleigh. Sella Ronda in both direction are a must, at 27km it can be skied in about 3 to 4 hours. At Utia la Cruc above Pedraces you will find a church. A short walk higher than the top lift it's a fantastic place to stop for lunch. Next to the church is a very good restaurant. A day in Alpe di Siusi is a good day out it's a bit flat but at the top they have a speed radar on a special run to see how fast you can go, our record is 105.78km/hour, see if you can beat that.
Be careful not to miss the 3.00 bus back from Sultra or you will not get back for the last Dantercepies lift back. The Marmalada is the highest at 3342m but sometimes there are queues to get up the three cable cars. It is always cold at the top and the piste is in the shade and quite steep at the top. The food is fantastic on the mountain and in the village there are tens of restaurants. The black hill fpr pissa`s Peter`s stude for meat and local dishes and there are some a` la carte restaurants as well. The local wine is very good and not expensive.
The lift system is second to none. Every year one or two lifts are built or upgraded. You can go 'round the Sella Ronda without going on one drag lift.
Don`t fly to Innsbruck, fly to Bolzano, only 38 km away. Colfosco has an apres-ski bar 1 km up the mountain. It's open until 8pm which sound early but you try skiing down after four hours of beer and grappa. The piste is now floodlit but if you can`t manage that because of wobbly legs you can get a lift down on the back of a skido.
There are no English tour companies that go to Colfosco so if you like to see and hear lots of English on your holiday it's not the place for you. Colfosco is the best kept secret in skiing. But now you know about it don`t go there it's rubbish.

Corvara is one of the best ski places I've ever stayed. A well kept secret by the Italians, it boasts tree lined runes and snow coverage if you go with in the ski season. Plenty of mountain restaurants with excellent food for people who just like a hot chocolate and chicken and chips at lunch. We stayed in the hotel La Perla in Corvara, right up against the slope for ski in-ski out convenience.
My only problem is that the village doesn't have a village atmosphere, but for me this wasn't a huge problem since I was either on the slopes or in the pool back at the hotel.

The No.1 resort in Italy for sure. Sella Ronda tour provides best skiing for all categories of skiers, but is sometimes too difficult for begginers. Great 'to the front door skiing' in Colfosco (2 km from Corvara). Just one problem. Too much road crossing on slopes of Sella and great amount of time spent on lifts. Marmolada is extremely icy and I reccomend it to experts only!
