The fun of skiing, and interesting wine knowledge and wine tastings to boot. How does that sound to you? It will be possible this winter in Alta Badia. As a result of the extensive training of the ski instructors, the wine culture and ski culture are moving even closer together.

Within the framework of the initiative of the Consortium of Alto Adige Wine, Alta Badia, and the local ski schools, the "Ski Wine Ambassador" project has been launched this year. The ski instructors took part in a training course organised by professional sommeliers of the Alto Adige Sommelier Association. Everything from the basics of wine tasting to the differences and characteristics of Alto Adige wines were included.

The combination of landscape, skiing, and dining and oenological experiences you find in Alta Badia is unique. So ski lovers and winter holidaymakers in Alta Badia can look forward to a winter that is both exciting and educational.
