The mountains of Val Gardena really are a fairy-tale. Winter in Ortisei also means sport and fun. Val Gardena is part of the Dolomiti Superski, the world’s most extensive skiing area with 1200 km of slopes and 450 lifts and cross-country tracks. In walking distance from the Stetteneck, modern cable-cars link to the Seceda/Sella Ronda or to the Alpe di Siusi/Seiseralm, Europe’s largest high plateau, a paradise for snow-shoe hiking.
