Romantic sunsets at Col Raiser/Seceda ski area, spectacular
FIS World Cup ski race events on the famous Saslong slope, or the legendary “Sellaronda”
ski tour. Winter in Val Gardena presents the beautiful Dolomites, awarded World
Heritage Site status by the UNESCO, at their best. This beautiful valley is
also member of the Leading Mountain Resorts of the World, a select
collective of mountain destinations. Val Gardena offers imposing mountain scape
inside world's greatest ski carousel as well as lots of history and culture and
plenty of room for solitary excursions into the quiet winter landscape.
One of the
best skiing areas within one of the world's most beautiful mountain regions.
The fascination of this dream
landscape is emphasised by the fact that UNESCO has recently awarded the
Dolomites with the internationally renowned title of World Heritage Site. Val
Gardena with its three charming valley communities of Ortisei, St.Christina and
Selva conveys the whole splendor of this World Heritage Site landscape: a
winter sports resort within a mountain range which also features one of the
world's premium skiing areas. Thanks to the Dolomiti Superski lift union, more
of 500 kilometers of interconnected slopes are directly accessible, including
the adjoining Alpe di Siusi ski area and the link to the famous Sellaronda, with
lifts and slopes in neighboring skiing areas all around the Sella massif. 115
kilometers of cross-country ski-tracks round out the package.
A top skiing area,
beautiful landscapes, cultural and sporting highlights, a choice of attractive
leisure activities and gourmet cuisine: Val Gardena is fast establishing itself
as a mountain valley with lifestyle appeal, without losing its culture, language
(Ladin) and cozy charm. Guaranteed snow despite climate change, above-average
sunshine hours, skiing for all levels of difficulty and new traffic-calmed
zones in all three villages make Val Gardena the perfect choice for a great
winter vacation for all the family. It is hardly surprising that Val Gardena (Italy),
together with prestigious destinations as Banf-Lake Luise (Canada), Are
(Sweden), Queenstown (New Zealand) and Sass Fee (Switzerland) is part of the "Leading
Mountain Resorts of the World" – a network of resorts renowned for
exceptional quality.
