Swimming is one of the most complete activities for body and mind: it strengthens muscles, improves posture, relieves stress and is great fun. In Alta Badia, swimming can be enjoyed all year round thanks to a wide range of indoor facilities, alpine lakes and well-equipped hotels.
For those seeking a convenient, year-round option, the public swimming pool in La Villa, located inside the middle school building, is an excellent choice. Open in both summer and winter, it's ideal for training, relaxing or simply spending active time with friends and family.
Many hotels and accommodations in the area offer indoor pools and wellness centers, often featuring spa zones, whirlpools, saunas and rejuvenating treatments. Some also provide swimming lessons for adults and children, aqua gym classes and other water-based activities, suitable for all ages and skill levels.
During the summer months, swimming in Alta Badia becomes a truly unique experience thanks to its natural alpine lakes and biotopes, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Among the most popular spots:
Sotscofes Biotope, in the center of Corvara, with wooden walkways and green spaces to relax;
