Val Gardena Piste Map and Overview
Val Gardena is one of the most iconic ski destinations in the Dolomites, combining breathtaking scenery with world-class skiing. Nestled between Ortisei, Selva, and Santa Cristina, it offers a fantastic mix of terrain for all levels, from gentle beginner slopes to challenging red and black runs. The well-maintained pistes, modern lift systems, and efficient gondolas make exploring the area effortless, while the picturesque villages add charm and convenience for après-ski, dining, and accommodation.
The region also serves as a gateway to the famous Sellaronda circuit, a ski tour that links Val Gardena with Alta Badia, Arabba, and other Dolomite valleys. Skiers and snowboarders love Val Gardena for its variety, reliable snow conditions, and accessibility to both beginner-friendly slopes around Ortisei and more advanced terrain near Selva. The combination of natural beauty, excellent infrastructure, and vibrant mountain villages ensures a top-notch alpine experience for families, groups, and solo adventurers alike.
