Val Gardena is a major ski region in South Tyrol, Italy, including Ortisei, Selva and Santa Cristina. It forms part of the Dolomiti Superski network, offering around 500km of linked pistes including the Sella Ronda circuit. Terrain is particularly strong for intermediates, with long cruising runs, though beginners and advanced skiers are also well catered for. The altitude and snowmaking infrastructure support consistent winter conditions. The villages vary from traditional to more modern but all retain a strong alpine identity. Val Gardena is especially known for its scenery, perfectly groomed slopes and famous runs such as Saslong.
