In this special episode of NOS, we venture into the woods of Alta Badia together with Giulia Consalvo, a Montessori teacher and educator, and her daughter Viola. As always, our guide is Valentina Lo Surdo, who leads us through an intimate and authentic conversation about how the mountains can become an ideal place to grow, to learn, and to explore.

Drawing on the words and philosophy of Maria Montessori, we reflect on the importance of staying connected with nature, the freedom of movement, and the kind of education that arises spontaneously from observation and wonder.

A journey through trees, moss, and silence becomes an opportunity to discover how the mountains are not just a place to visit, but a space where both children and adults can rediscover their own rhythm, listen to themselves, and grow freer.

A new magazine, made of paper and real stories. STÜA is Alta Badia’s editorial project, born from the land itself and giving voice to those who live it, know it deeply, and care for it every day. We talk about it with Anna Quinz, founder of FranzLab and curator of the project, Andy Pertot, hotelier and president of Alta Badia Brand, and Milena Callegari, part of the team that brought it to life. An honest conversation about identity, quality, and the need to create spaces where people can truly see themselves—now more than ever.

In this episode of NOS, we delve into a world that breathes, grows, and protects: the forest. It's not just a postcard backdrop, but a vital ecosystem that tells the story of our land and safeguards its future. Guiding us on this journey are three authoritative and passionate voices: Giorgio De Grandi, Commander of the La Villa Forestry Station; Lucio Brotto, founder of Etifor – a spin-off of the University of Padua specializing in sustainability; and Caterina Crepaz, digital strategist for Alta Badia Brand.

Discover why the forest is much more than what you see: it's a refuge, a resource, an invisible network that keeps everything in balance. An invitation to experience it, respect it, and defend it. Let yourself be inspired by the sound of the trees and the stories of those who truly know them.

Together with Enrico Baccanti, mountain guide, Egon Pescollderungg, director of the Cross-country Ski School, and Nicole Dorigo, head of the press office of Alta Badia Brand, we discover some of the splendid activities that can be practiced in winter, as well as alpine skiing.

The Dolomites, enveloped in a blanket of snow, are transformed into an enchanted place, to be experienced to the fullest. An opportunity to get to know and appreciate them in new ways, letting yourself be fascinated by their unique beauty.

Every year, in the period leading up to Christmas, Gran Risa becomes the stage for unforgettable emotions, hosting the men's Ski World Cup races. An iconic slope, carved among the peaks of Alta Badia, where legends such as Alberto Tomba, Marcel Hirscher, Ingemar Stenmark and Marc Girardelli have written epic pages in the history of skiing.

The World Cup is more than a sporting event: it is the reflection of the valley's soul, a moment when over a thousand volunteers work together to make every detail perfect, showing the world the values of a community that lives on passion and tradition.

To accompany us to the heart of the organization will be Andy Varallo, President of the Organizing Committee, Stefanie Nagler, Secretary General, and Anna Costamoling, part of the Product Management department of Alta Badia Brand and a ski instructor. Their story will guide us on an exciting journey, as intense as a descent between the mythical gates of Gran Risa.

Imagine gliding down perfectly groomed slopes, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, surrounded by majestic peaks that turn golden at dawn. This is the spirit of Alta Badia, a true paradise for ski enthusiasts and a unique starting point for the legendary Sellaronda and other breathtaking itineraries of the Dolomiti Superski.

But the experience in Alta Badia goes beyond just the sport. Here, skiing meets the art of living well, celebrating an important anniversary this year: 15 years of "Sciare con Gusto" (Skiing with Taste). This project combines the passion for snow with the pleasure of good food, transforming a day on the slopes into an adventure for the senses.

To guide us through this tale of emotions and flavors, we have Stefanie Irsara, Sales Manager of Alta Badia Brand, Alessandro Huber, Product Manager of Skicarosello Corvara, and Simone Cantafio, 1 Michelin Star Chef at La Stüa de Michil Restaurant in Corvara. Together, they reveal how Alta Badia is not just a destination, but a place where the magic of winter comes alive in every turn and in every dish.

Autumn is approaching and Alta Badia is ready to unveil a season full of surprises. In this episode, we discover why this is the perfect time for more intimate explorations of the woods and along paths nestled within the Dolomite frame, made even more evocative by the colours of the foliage.

In this episode, accompanied by Alessia Sorà, mid-mountain guide and Alta Badia Brand communication manager, Luca Pescollderungg, Spartan Race World Champion and member of the Alta Badia Tourist Cooperative team, and Markus Valentini, mountain hut attendant, we explore Alta Badia on foot.

The Maratona dles Dolomites is more than just a bike race. It is a unique experience that combines sport, nature, culture and solidarity. In this special episode we will tell about an iconic event that represents healthy mountain culture. Together with Michil Costa, Giovanni Bruno and Carolin Pitscheider we will discover the sense of joy and celebration that the Marathon represents. In addition to the stories and emotions, we will also discover the themes that the Marathon brings to the public's attention each year. This year's theme is "Mutatio," or continuous metamorphosis.
