Why ski Val Gardena / Sellaronda?

Val Gardena is the gateway to the Sella Ronda — the most famous ski circuit in the Dolomites, where you can ski a 40km loop around the Sella massif connecting four valleys on a single lift pass. The Dolomiti Superski pass unlocks 1,200km of linked pistes across 12 resort areas — the largest linked ski area in the world. Val Gardena itself has the added advantage of being a Ladin-speaking area with a distinctive culture all of its own.
