Brunico (Bruneck)

Skiing

Alta Badia. The Alta Badia ski area, which includes 52 ski lifts and 130 km (80 mi) of slopes, can be reached by heading 30 km (19 mi) south on SS244 from Brunico. It's cheaper and more Austrian in character than the more famous ski destinations in this region. Groomed trails for cross-country skiing (usually loops marked off by the kilometer) accommodate differing degrees of ability. Inquire at the local tourist office.
