it is quite a nice little run if you carry on down the red from the hut to pick up the lower Pralongia chair. If you bend to the left at the hut and go past the bottom of the drag lift and carry on to La Viza then it is a pretty flat blue from memory. Del Sole is the much nicer run back from Pralongia down to La Viza, so I suppose not many people come down Incisa (which is itself nice) to head to La Viza. The red is pretty narrow through a valley in woods, I recall enjoying it in fresh fallen snow ...

We should fix that on this trip captain!! |
So many lunch places, so few days! But you never know, maybe yes.

I've been down Pista Del Sole quite a few times but will definitely try out Incisa and the La Marmotta - Planac Red.
Just to add to the list of Refugios, The Punta Trieste does good ribs and has a lovely sunny terrace with great views. It does get busy though so it can be hard to find a table. It's on the Pralongia II - Punta Trieste blue (some of their piste naming is very logical).

Great views over to the Marmolada, they have the flags of all nations flying along the edge of the terrace. I've stopped for a drink and Kaiserschmarren (Pancakes with sweet cranberry jam).

'Opposite' Las Vegas at the top of the Biok lift is Utia de Bioch, nearly got snowed in there last March and wouldn't have complained. Great food and if you like steak, (we went a bit mad on a boys trip considering it was a late lunch) we ordered their special on a hotplate.... I've never seen four bigger, or eaten better fillets. The tray was greeted by a round of applause by the whole restaurant (I'll try and upload a photo) which was only surpassed by the gasp when we'd pre-ordered two extra portions of chips!!
A real treat, highly recommended and go 1 between 2 on the steaks

Just stayed in Colfosco for a week and have been mightily impressed with the quality and variety of the food at all the rifugios we've visited. The best hot chocolates I've ever tasted, delicious sweet pancakes, lots of speck and fresh bread, lovely dumpling soups, mushroom pasta, veal, pizzas, and much more. Along with the fantastic skiing, we have been completely won over by this area and plan to come back as soon as we can!

We have never been very successful at finding good places on the Skitour Panorama (Alba-Pozza), Valeruz, Al Zedron, Buffaure and Malga Al Crocifisso all seem to have disappointed a bit.
Maybe I need to try the place that @cameronphillips2000 refers to above - would that be Pizzeria Winkler?
Pizzeria Winkler is not on the mountain but in Pozza. Exit to the right of Buffaure and it is just along past San Nicolo Hotel. (We stayed at San Nic and their bar wasn't bad, quite lively compared to some in Pozza.) Winkler we ate at twice and they do do a mean pizza and were v friendly.
If staying in Pozza - I was recommended the Miro Bar by a local. Tiny frontage on square with nativity in it - great reggae tunes playing and always a decent plate of nibbles given with drinks.

Stoped in there most nights on my way down. Always people in there from 4pm onwards. Opening times are: from 15.45 to 20.45. had some good fun in there. Was never really busy but this was a mid March trip so we didnt expect it to be. I used to then ski from there back to my hotel near the bottom of the hill.
The apres doesn't compare with some Austrian resorts I've been to (Saalbach, Wagrain) but there were plenty of punters dancing and singing most afternoons. Otherwise in Corvara village there's not much else Apres wise apart from the small umbrella bar near the Borest gondola and the small bar round the back of the Boe gondola station
However there are a couple of huts playing apre type music just up the mountain: Capanna nera and La Baita hut. Think also Boconara hut advertises Apres ski ,though I never stopped there late afternon

You know it makes sense.

I'm in awe of the detailed knowledge people have of such a large area. I went last season for the first time and although I have many happy memories of various areas visited i struggle to remember details of where they are. I'm going back this year, (week after the BB) and hope to attempt to pay more attention this time.

My daughter got food poisoning from ciampai last week due to uncooked meat. It smells amazing which is why she really wanted to go there. So avoid it completely
The other bad one is called Col gallinia or something like that at the bottom of the 3 person chair lift on the 5 torre avoid that too.
But in 5 weeks in Alta Badia they are the only two dreadful ones.
The rest are down to personal taste and budget
