GazC do you mean Alleghe? Alta Badia is the Corvara area.

We skied Alleghe last year with a guide. You ski to the Marmolada cable car, cross the road and ski through the Serrai di Sottoguda (a fantastic canyon with ice waterfalls, Make sure it's open before you go!) then a short walk through the village and catch a bus to Alleghe (about 20 mins down the valley). Our guide arranged the transport home so we weren't relying on the bus back. We are probably going to Kronplatz this year and then I think we have done all the area on the pass. I agree, you don't need to do the Sella Ronda or the Hidden Valley as there are plenty of other fabulous areas to ski. :thumbup:
Sunglasses V's Goggles

I had a pair of Bolle goggles with a light reactive lens which were very good, especially in flat light. However, I say had, as I have just returned them to the store because when I got them out of for this years trip the light reactive film on the outside of the goggle has all wrinkled whilst they have been stored since our trip last year and they are now useless! I am waiting for a decision from Bolle whether they will be refunded as I had to buy new goggles in resort for our January trip. I didn't buy Bolle but Cairn bad light yellow lenses and in flat light they were brilliant and half the price! :cry:
