Corvara in Badia is the main center of Alta Badia, a prestigious tourist area located at the top end of the Val Badia, surrounded by the Dolomites mountains.
Because of its geographic position, Alta Badia gradually transformed itself into an avantgarde tourist area keeping intact its alpine character.According to Michil Costa, owner of the La Perla luxury hotel in Corvara,[2] interviewed in 2023 for a TV documentary on overtourism in the Alps, the area has too many tourists.[3]
The municipality contains the frazioni Calfosch (Italian: Colfosco, German: Kolfuschg) and Pescosta.
The emblem represents three vert mountains, dominated by three gules peaks with the inclined top on an argent background. The three peaks represent the Sassongher mountain overlooking the village. The emblem was granted in 1969.[4]
