Introducing Val Gardena

For skiers who seriously love their sport, this awe-inspiring valley is it. Hemmed in by the Parco Naturale Puez-Odle, the imposing Gruppo del Sella and Sassolungo, and the gentle slopes of the Alpe di Siusi (the largest high plain in the Alps), glitz and glamour take second place to great skiing, hence prices are relatively reasonable.

Also keeping visitor numbers down are the twisting mountain roads and passes that access the valley, which is a key reason why Ladin culture has remained strong here. The valley’s main towns, Ortisei (population 5700; elevation 1236m), Santa Cristina (population 1840; elevation 1428m) and Selva (population 2580; elevation 1563m), all have good facilities.
