The poor peasant society of the last centuries often did not have much food available. So they made the best of what they had and developed a cuisine that makes our mouths water today: Barley soup, turtres (deep-fried dumplings filled with spinach or sauerkraut), Schlutzkrapfen (ravioli with spinach) and furtaies (deep-fried desserts) are an integral part of Alta Badia's cuisine and continue to enchant locals and tourists alike.

The gastronomic diversity of Ladin can be explored at various events. In winter, for example, top chefs serve their delicious masterpieces at selected huts in the ski area. A tasting tour with a ski guide and sommelier is also possible.
