Dolomiti Superski - Val Gardena

The Gardena valley provides one of the largest interconnected lift systems in the world in one of Europe's most spectacular mountain ranges - the Dolomites. Three main villages serve the huge skiing area - Selva, Ortisei and St. Christina. Selva is closest to the interconnected lifts of the vast Dolomiti Superski region which covers 38 resorts served by 464 lifts, all skiable with one pass. Selva is also the starting point of the Sella Ronda, a gentle skiing experience which goes through and around a dozen resorts in the four valleys surrounding the Gruppo Sella, a major mountain surrounded by ancient pass routes linking scores of old villages. This can take five and a half to six hours so it's best to do it early in the week because many ski school classes tackle it as their final project at the end of the week. Experts will find their biggest challenges off-piste.
