Almost four months, from 15 June to 6 October, to explore the green and car-free plateau of Alta Badia. The complete renovation of the Piz La Ila park is the main novelty of a season marked by cycling on the trails and paths, games and family activities, the rediscovery of well-being through yoga and movement, with many events and appointments.
Movimënt reopens: the Alta Badia plateau welcomes adults, children and four-legged friends from 15 June to 6 October with its parks overlooking the Dolomites, all close and connected to each other by paths. A world full of colors and energy, completely free from cars, which this year offers several new features, including the transformation of Piz la Ila. The season will be officially inaugurated on 21 June by an event organized with Yoga Studio Dolomites of San Cassiano, on the occasion of International Yoga Day.
Under the big MMs: Movimënt renews Piz la Ila
The main park in the area completely changes its look. At Piz la Ila you are greeted by the large MM of the logo, transformed into a “playable” installation, where you can slide, climb and jump. All around we find swings, mini ziplines, and a new area dedicated to the world of bees, all in wood and sustainable materials, respecting nature.
A novelty that will please children, in a context that, year after year, increasingly establishes itself as family-friendly, also thanks to MMH – Movi Family Apart Hotel, the first family hotel in Alta Badia. A structure of 33 apartments complete with Acqua Fun World, games room, spa for all and adults only, entertainment and even a dessert created exclusively by Ernst Knam. Every detail is designed to welcome children and parents, from the environments to the delivery service via app.
Everything around is child-friendly: the off-road strollers perfect for the mountains, which can be rented, the entertainment offered during the Kid’s hour on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday afternoons, the weekly program with treasure hunts, orienteering and e- easy and medium level mountain bike tours, and Movimënt dles Ês, weekly appointments with a beekeeper who tells the secrets of bees.
Welcome to Wellness
We recover primary contact with the elements, the earth, the air, the water, in a unique natural context. This year the season opens in Piz Sorega on June 21st, the first day of summer and International Yoga Day. Throughout the day, from 9am to 3pm, three instructors will hold introductory yoga lessons on the lawns, among the scent of flowers, to help the public – even absolute beginners – rediscover their well-being. The day is also an introduction to the weekly yoga sessions which will be held from 18 July to 22 August, every Thursday, alternating one lesson in the evening (4-5.30pm) and one in the morning (8.30-10am).
Staying on the topic of wellness, one of the most anticipated events is the return of FFL on Tour on 12 and 13 July: the appointment is with Federica Constantini, fitness coach and food blogger, and her team of professionals. For an entire weekend you train, do yoga, discover how to stay fit and healthy. New this year, the Friday talk, dedicated to the theme of longevity.
Beauty is also therapeutic: Movimënt Sunrise also returns in August, in its third edition. Before dawn we go up with the lifts to Club Moritzino, to admire the sunrise at 2100 meters and listen to the energy that is released by the music. An exceptional stage for the violinist Andrea Casta and his luminous bow, with which he tours all over the world. Accompanying him on the keyboard will be Marco Falagiani, Oscar winner for the film Mediterraneo by Salvatores.
Vertical challenges: bikes, e-bikes and walls
It doesn’t matter if you start from San Cassiano, Corvara or La Villa: in just a few minutes, with the lifts, you can still go up to Movimënt, to access a world designed – also – for two wheels. Everything is close by, from the e-bike rentals scattered throughout the plateau, Piz La Ila, Piz Sorega and Col Alt, to the experiences to be had.
Those seeking the thrill of speed will find the Bike Beats, “flow” and smooth routes on dirt and sand full of exciting obstacles: starting from Piz Sorega you go from the simplest and most panoramic Trail Ödli (eyes in Ladin), to the Trail Avëna ( veins), of medium difficulty, and the Trail Mans (hands), which continues up to San Cassiano, while it is in Pralongià that Fle (deep breath) of medium-simple difficulty begins, with a view of the Marmolada and the Sella.
Not just descents: we are in the heart of the Sellaronda MTB Tour area, which becomes very easy to organize with the ski lifts, passing through Alta Badia, Val di Fassa and Val Gardena.
The passion for verticality also takes other paths: the via ferratas, above all that of the Vallon, which connects the Kostner refuge to Piz Boé, and the routes for sport climbing, which are found in the same area. Even higher up, the updrafts are exploited for a paragliding flight, even in tandem mode, with an instructor. A particularly intense formula is Hike and Fly: you reach the launch site on foot, with a nice hike, and then let yourself be carried away by the wind.
