Winter holidays in the winter wonderland of South Tyrol

Adventure alpine skiing in the largest ski carousel of the world

Val Gardena - since the end of the XIX century it was already a destination for the first skiing tourists, in 1970 there has been the World Ski Championship and today the Super-G and the men's downhill are still taking place here on the very well known "Saslong" run. It is not a case that Val Gardena has a rich skiing history and still today remains a paradise for ski lovers - from the beginner to the carving expert.

Some numbers show the infinitive possibilities of this skiing district: the  Dolomites Superski  is the world biggest district with its 460 lift facilities and more than 1,200 km of runs.
Only the area including  Val Gardena-Alps of Siusi  offers 84 lift facilities and 176 km of runs, from the baby runs to the World Cup black runs. The district is very well known also for the very good conditions of its runs - from the beginning of December to late spring.

Sellaronda is a special experience, the ski tour around the Sella Massif: 26km of runs offering an always different view of the Dolomites, the tour can take different directions and becoming longer. Val Gardena most beautiful thing is with no doubt the perfect links offered by the lift facilities, for example the  "Gherdeina Skiring", not so known as Sellaronda but not less exciting, it takes you in one day from Seceda along the Saslong run up to the Piz Sella or Dantercepies.

A real paradise for winter walkers is, with no doubt, the Alpe di Siusi with its very well-kept paths, but also Resciesa, Monte Pana or Vallunga offer many walking opportunities.

Ice skating, tobogganing, snowshoeing - Varied leisure activities in Ortisei

Dolomites offer a myriad of possibilities for high alpine ski, with a stunning landscape, grounds and runs suitable for any difficulty levels. It is advisable first of all to be informed on the snow conditions and avalanches danger; it is better to be accompanied by an alpine guide.

For those who want to enjoy the peacefulness of the Dolomites covered with snow but far from the runs, they can also decide for a walk on snowshoes - and reach the places with the best view in winter, too.

Tobogganing is an amusing activity both for adults and children. Every day the tobogganing slope of Resciesa is prepared professionally; the intermediate funicular stop allows to repeat slope as many times as you want. You can find different sledging paths also on the Alps of Siusi. Toboggan hire at the lifts.
