The world-famous resort of Val Gardena is one of Italy’s best-loved resorts. Located in the heart of the breathtaking 360° scenery of the awe-inspiring Dolomite mountains, it is one of the most stunning ski locations on the planet. The valley is served by fast, modern lifts and fabulous cruising terrain and is part of one of the world’s largest ski areas with 500km of ski runs, inter-connected around the Sellaronda circuit, and all on the Dolomiti Superski lift pass.
Despite this huge ski area, the communities of Val Gardena are relatively compact villages with a strong sense of their history and heritage, living with tourism as a part of their existence, but not swamped by it. Add into the mix a great snowfall record despite boasting over 300 days of sunshine annually and you begin to see why Val Gardena is so popular with its fans.
