Ortisei

Ortisei is one of the top villages in the Gardena Valley and is one of the top destinations for tourists visiting the Dolomites.

Popular during the height of summer as people visit to embrace the natural beauty of the area, Ortisei is also well visited during the winter months when people instead are drawn in by the chance to take to the slopes and enjoy some fun in the snow.

Skiers of all levels will be accommodated within the resort, with gentle nursery slopes that are ideal for beginners and a huge range of intermediate options both within the resort itself and also the wider Sella Ronda area.

For experts, the chance to head out to the nearby slopes of Arabba and the famous Downhill Cup run in St. Cristina is something not to be missed.

With picturesque surroundings, guaranteed snow during the season and an interesting mix of alternative activities to enjoy, it’s little surprise that Ortisei has developed such a strong reputation for a fun-filled winter holiday.
