In fact, here on the rapid Gran Risa ski run, there are several races of the international ski world cup every year. During this time of the year, the otherwise quiet village becomes a lively winter sports centre.

Music, holiday spirit, party and ski lovers from all over the world – the ski race itself is not the most important thing during the world cup weekend, as there is very much going on in La Villa in the middle of December.

For the rest of the year, La Villa is a small and rustic village in the mountains. The district of Abtei municipality is located at 1,583 m of altitude in the heart of the Dolomites. Travellers should absolutely visit Ciastel Colz castle that can only be visited from the outside and St. Maria ad Stellam church built in 1516, hence the German name of the village.
