Val Gardena

Val Gardena is located in the heart of the Dolomites in South Tyrol and is known as one of Europe’s most iconic alpine destinations with breathtaking landscapes and top-notch infrastructure. In winter, the valley is internationally renowned for circuit skiing on the legendary Sella Ronda, where skiers can complete a full loop around the Sella massif in a single day via seamlessly connected lifts and well-groomed slopes. The dramatic Dolomite peaks of light limestone create a unique backdrop, making every descent a visual delight. Along the way, numerous traditional chalets offer sunny terraces where local specialties like canederli, speck, and polenta are served with views of some of the Alps' most striking mountain formations. In summer, Val Gardena transforms into an active outdoor paradise with blooming alpine meadows, panoramic hiking trails, and challenging cycling routes at higher altitudes. The local Ladin culture lives on in mountain restaurants, where regional ingredients and recipes take center stage. The combination of world-class alpine skiing, authentic culinary culture, and extraordinary nature makes Val Gardena an exclusive year-round destination for travelers seeking both activity and genuine alpine atmosphere.
