Food is a global passe-partout. And in Alta Badia it has centuries-old origins
A poor, rural cuisine yet rich in values
The history of Ladin food consists of simple ingredients seasoned with patience, passion and ethical respect for all its elements. Savouring the delicacies of our region implies not only tasting something good, actually excellent – it also means appreciating its rural roots which form a significant piece of Alta Badia's identity.
The meaning of being a Ladin today
It is easy to talk about the bond with the territory. But what does it actually entail?
In Alta Badia, this connection can be seen in two intertwined ways: first, there is the natural environment in which lush green forests and pastures blend with the rocks of the Dolomites. Second, there is the language which originates from the fusion of the Latin and Rhaetian culture and has been preserved and developed over the millennia.
The pace of the mountains harbours unrivalled flavours
Alta Badia, a land that upholds its identifying values in the identity of its flavours. The result: one-of-a-kind seasonal dishes which combine nutritional qualities and age-old flavours with intangible features. A profound love for nature, the support of local micro-economies, environmental sustainability and waste reduction.
Alta Badia, cooking together with great passion
Food is one of the most immediate means of getting to know the history of a place and its people. In Alta Badia, the ties between those who work in the kitchen - whether chef or dishwasher - are so powerful that the Ladin flair for hospitality can be relished everywhere.
