Val Gardena or Groednertal might be confusing to visitors trying to find it on a map but that’s the price you pay to maintain the multicultural local traditions that define this part of the Sud Tirol… or is that Alto Adige? Both, actually. more...

Intermediate

Val Gardena and the Sella Ronda haven't got the reputation for huge mileage that some of the mega French resorts enjoy but they should be high on any intermediate's list.

Beginner

You need go no further than Alpe di Siusi. Excellent nursery slopes and perfect pistes to progress to, within a very secure environment, and the view’s are great. more...

 

Boarding & freestyle

There’s good provision for riders wanting park action rather than piste mileage. more...

 

Off-piste

The Val Mezdi route has some excellent off-piste descents but involves a little bit of effort to get to.

Village

No question, the villages throughout the area are strikingly situated. more...

 

Accommodation

Consider your needs carefully. All three Val Gardena villages are large enough – and on steep enough hillsides – that from the outlying hotels and apartments you’re committed to a drive (car, hotel shuttle or ski bus) to reach the lifts. more...

 

Après-ski

There’s true Tirolean-style après-ski throughout Val Gardena more...

 

Restaurants & bars

Many of the visitors to Val Gardena opt for half-board in comfortable hotels serving excellent food, and reserve their eating out for on-mountain blow-outs that leave them almost unable to ski in the afternoon. more...

 

Other information

Val Gardena is exceptional for cross-country skiers and walkers. more...

 

Getting there
