Corvara (German: Kurfar; Ladin: Corvara; Italian: Corvara in Badia) is a comune (municipality) in the province of Bolzano-Bozen in the Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 80 km northeast of Trento and about 40 km east of Bolzano. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 1,267 and an area of 42.2 km².[1]
Corvara borders the following municipalities: Badia, Canazei, Livinallongo del Col di Lana, San Martin de Tor, and Sëlva (Selva di Val Gardena).
Corvara is the main center of Alta Badia, a prestigious tourist area located at the top end of the Val Badia valley, surrounded by the peaks of the Dolomites mountains. Because of its geographic position in the heart of the Dolomites, Alta Badia gradually transformed itself into an avantgarde tourist area keeping intact its alpine character.
According to the 2001 census, 91.00% of the population speak Ladin, 4.58% German and 4.42% Italian as first language.[2]
