Corvara Boè – Vallon

Corvara Boè – Vallon launches at 2,195 m above Corvara in the Alta Badia valley, Dolomites, with two separate take-off points to choose from: one at the end of the gondola's middle station, the other at the top of a chairlift. That gives pilots a fallback option if one lift line suits the day's wind better than the other. Recorded wind directions run from north-east through south-east to south, and the site supports both thermal flying and genuine cross-country lines out into the surrounding Dolomite terrain. Landing is in a large meadow right by the gondola station and parking area, which keeps the whole outing — lift up, fly, land, walk to the car — compact and convenient by Dolomites standards. Lift schedules run seasonally, so it's worth checking current summer opening times before planning a trip around either the gondola or the chairlift. With two launch options and an easy landing back at the base, Corvara Boè – Vallon is an accessible high-Alpine flight for pilots already in the Alta Badia area.
