Sellaronda

A special highlight for skiers in the Val Gardena is the tour around the distinctive Sella Massif. In just one day, you can ski the famous Sellaronda circuit with its 40 kilometres of pistes - either clockwise or counter-clockwise. It crosses four Dolomite passes: the Passo Gardena, the Campolongo Pass, the Pordoi Pass, and the Passo Sella, which is why it is also known as the "Four Passes Tour". The Sellaronda experience is included in the Dolomiti Superski pass.

The clockwise Sellaronda (orange route) starts in the village centre of Selva Gardena with the Costabella Chairlift. From there, you get to the Dantercepies Cable Car, which takes you up to the Passo Gardena. The route continues to Colfosco and Corvara in Alta Badia. The Boé Cable Car takes you uphill again, and you eventually reach the Campolongo Pass.

The next stop is Arabba, from where a cable car takes you to Pont de Vauz. After that, you continue to the Pordoi Pass. The Belvedere Lift takes you uphill again - the long Belvedere descent leads down to Pian Frataces. From here, you reach the Passo Sella and the Col Rodella. A long descent finally brings you back to Selva Gardena.

A few tips: You need a good level of fitness for the Sellaronda, so beginners should not attempt the tour. Start before 10 am and cross the last pass before 3.30 pm to avoid finding the lifts closed. The Val Stella Alpina (Edelweiss Valley) in Colfosco and the slopes of Porta Vescovo are worthwhile detours. Note that in bad weather, the pistes around the Sella Massif may be closed.
