Badia - Abtei

Built around long-established farming hamlets in upper Val Badia, Badia–Abtei grew into a Ladin-speaking municipality in South Tyrol. Its settlement area lies beneath the Dolomites, with the Santa Croce massif rising above the valley and the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park close by. Ladin, a Rhaeto-Romance language, remains central to local identity alongside Italian and German. The Church of Santa Croce, high beneath the massif, is a longstanding pilgrimage destination and a point of access to mountain paths. In winter, Badia–Abtei is part of the Alta Badia ski area and the Dolomiti Superski network. Explore further webcams across South Tyrol to place Badia–Abtei in its wider Alpine setting.
