Selva is the largest town in Val Gardena and is located on the northeast corner of the Sella Ronda Massif.

A vital link in the famous 26km circuit lies just above the resort and there is direct access via two gondolas to either the clockwise or anticlockwise loop. There is also direct access to the Saslong Mountain, home each year to a fearsome World Cup Downhill race, as well as the high Seceda slopes above St Ortesei. Most runs are suited to intermediates and snow reliability issues are long gone – the entire piste network is covered by an extremely powerful snowmaking system.

The scenery around town is spectacular, with towering Dolomite peaks providing the backdrop for the pretty, traditional, mostly wood-clad town of Selva Gardena. Alternative bases are on offer at St Ortesei or St Cristina further down the valley.

Pros and cons

Arguably the best access into the Sella Ronda and great local slopes
Very snowsure thanks to an incredible snowmaking system
Spectacular Dolomite scenery

Beginner areas a little isolated from town
Natural snowfall a bit erratic and limited off piste
Main Sella Ronda circuit can get crowded on sunny days and at weekends

On the Slopes

The east-facing beginner area is located just on the edge of the village of Selva and is a good place to learn, but this is a walk or a short bus ride away from some accommodation. Longer blues are hard to come by, but some of the more gentle reds will be in reach of less confident intermediates. Keen piste skiers and adventurous intermediates will love exploring the vast network of slopes surrounding the Sella Ronda Massif.

In comparison to some other sectors, the slopes around Val Gardena are somewhat steeper, especially on the Saslong Mountain – where the racetrack in particular is a serious challenge. The long reds at Seceda are a blast when freshly groomed and some decent off piste opens up around the valley after heavy snowfall.

Total Pistes: 175km (1000km in Dolomiti Superski)
Blue: 30%
Red: 60%
Black: 10%
Lifts: 79 (452 in Dolomiti Superski)
Altitude: 1816m – 2798m

In the Resort

With a long history of this part of the Italian Dolomites being in Austrian hands, there is a distinctly Tirolean feel to the resort, reflected not only in the look of the place, but the menus in the restaurants and also by the fact that many of the locals speak German as a first language. Staying in the centre of Selva of the resort affords maximum convenience and the quickest access to the main circuit. Further down the valley, St Ortesei and St Cristina offer good alternative locations.
Food plays a big part in the Val Gardena ski holiday experience. Not only are there excellent restaurants in town serving Sudtirol specialities, but on the hill there are some very good mountain restaurants. These won’t break the bank either, unlike at some other major ski resorts.

Green Credentials

Ski Club Recognised: Environmentally Sustainable Resort

The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.

Val Gardena has received certification from the Global Sustainability Tourism Council (GSTC) as a sustainable tourist destination, requiring the a destination to meet criteria across four areas, including sustainable management, socio-economic sustainability, cultural sustainability, and environmental sustainability.

The GSTC is a UN-affiliated body dedicated to enabling sustainable tourism around the world. GSTC certification is controlled by Vireo, an Italian for-profit certification and licencing organisation that manages several similar schemes. Val Gardena was awarded its certificate in 2023, which expires in 2026.

Snow Overview

Italy

Updated 22/01

Good, consistent snowfall will come to most of the Italian Alps in one of the rare seasons where Italy outperforms its Alpine neighbours. At least 30cm can be expected over the course of this weekend and into the new year, beginning on Friday in all areas and strengthening on Saturday. Temperatures remain cold throughout this period with the freezing line staying settled below 1,500m throughout.

A brief pause in the idiocy follows on Sunday and Monday with threats of sunshine in the Dolomites and Piemonte, but snow quickly returns into the new week even as the freezing line spikes close to 2,000m; this does mean snowfall will be more limited to higher ground over this period, but around 15-20cm will fall helping boost already good levels on this side of the Main Alpine Ridge.

Areas close to the Mont Blanc Massif could see a big dump over this period, with 50cm expected over the highest slopes in the middle of the week.
