SKI AND SNOWBOARD
Dolomiti Superski
The possibility to ski in a UNESCO World Heritage site with 1,200km of interconnected slopes across 12 ski areas, all with a single ski pass. One of the world’s largest ski carousels with downhill runs, snow parks, and night skiing. An experience that will make your ski holiday between the Val di Fassa and Val Gardena/Grödner Tal valleys one of a kind.
Sellaronda clockwise and anti-clockwise
One of the world’s most famous ski routes. A tour that lets you enjoy a day filled with excitement, moving from place to place, accompanied by breathtaking scenery. You can also try two World Cup runs: the Saslong from Mt Ciampinoi to Santa Cristina and the Gran Risa that leads from Mt Piz la Ila to La Villa. The route winds around the four Dolomites passes that embrace the Sella group, letting you ski in the Val di Fassa valley, Alta Badia, Arabba, and the Val Gardena/Grödner Tal valley, discovering the charming valleys where the minority Ladin language and culture still thrive. The Sellaronda covers a total of 40 kilometres, 27 of which you can conquer on skis.
Arabba
A well-connected ski area that is simple to reach from our hut, with stunning panoramas and a good mix of easy and challenging slopes.
Val Stella Alpina/Edelweisstal valley
The tour of the Val Stella Alpina/Edelweisstal valley awaits you with wide, sunny slopes as well as inviting huts with panoramic terraces.
From the village of Colfosco in the valley, a modern lift connects the slopes of Sellaronda with Val Stella Alpina/Edelweisstal, a sunny valley framed by the peaks of Mt Sassongher and Mt Ciampać to the north, with views of the Val Mezdì valley and the Sella group opening up to the south.
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
Canazei-Campitello di Fassa
The cross-country circuit that connects Canazei to Campitello di Fassa and Mazzin. In the season of the famous Marcialonga cross-country ski marathon, this trail connects the whole of the Val di Fassa valley and also extends to the Val di Fiemme valley for a longer, more challenging tour. Discover how fantastic skiing in Campitello di Fassa can be!
Vallunga valley
The Vallunga valley cross-country ski centre is the most important in the Val Gardena/Grödner Tal valley. The trails begin just outside the village of Selva and, together with the trails at Mt Pana in Santa Cristina and on the Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm pasture, offer 130km of cross-country skiing bliss. The route runs through the Puez-Odle/Puez-Geisler Nature Park in an exquisitely panoramic natural setting.
Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm pasture
80km of perfectly groomed cross-country trails with double and quadruple tracks cross the Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm pasture between 1,800 and 2,200 metres above sea level. It’s a veritable paradise for fans of both classic and skating style, beginners and pros.
Cross-country skiing at Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm, Europe’s largest high-Alpine pasture, offers not only infinite space, but also spectacular views of the Dolomites, Mt Sassolungo/Langkofel, Mt Sasso Piatto/Plattkofel, and Mt Sciliar/Schlern.
