Blow The Bonus – Wine Ski Safari
Alta Badia, the stunningly located ski area in the Italian Dolomites, which also sits on the famous Sellaronda ski circuit, has been making a name for itself in recent years, not just for its skiing, but also its fabulous food and local wines.
That’s not just through its restaurants and mountain huts, but also with themed events through the season, including those with names like “Sommelier on the slopes”, “A Taste For Skiing”, “Breakfast with powder snow” and the “Gourmet Skisafari” (this year on 12 December).

However, the annual Wine Skisafari in March is one of Alta Badia’s most popular celebrations. It sees around 80 delicious local South Tyrol wines on offer to taste at four mountain huts, with one ticket enabling participants to ski between the huts and taste as they wish, all to the backdrop of live music.

Each hut offers a variety of sparkling, rosé, white and red wine, each served by an expert sommelier, many of which are produced by small family estates and are in such demand, they are rarely exported. Taking place on Sunday 22 March 2026 at Piz Arlara, Bioch, I Tablá and Pralongiá mountain huts, tasting tickets are €35pp.
This season, UK-based skiers can enjoy Alta Badia’s Wine Skisafari with a new short break package running from Friday 20 to Monday 23 March. Priced at £1,769pp, based on two sharing and organised by Skiworld, the trip includes return flights and private transfers from Heathrow and a four-day/three-night stay in Alta Badia, staying at luxury Hotel Gran Paradiso on a half-board basis, with breakfast and dinner included each day.
You’ll also enjoy two delicious mountain hut lunches (at Jimmy’s Hut and Piz Arlara), a three-day Dolomiti Superski pass and ski hire (or ski carriage if preferred) and Wine Skisafari tickets all included.
