BEFORE MODERN SPORT

Alta Badia

How settlement, access and winter sport shaped Alta Badia.

Scroll to read the contour through time

Alta Badia is a ski resort in the Dolomites of northern Italy, in the upper part of the Val Badia (German: Hochabtei) in South Tyrol.

BEFORE TOURISM

Before the resort map

The linked local overview does not preserve a clear account of Alta Badia before modern tourism.

This edition leaves that part of the timeline open rather than mistaking the first surviving sporting reference for the beginning of the place.

THE LIVING MAP

The mapped place

Alta Badia is recorded at 46.574° N, 11.850° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,521 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
