The Alps in all of their glory, but with their distinctive pointy and orange-yellow mountains surrounded by forests and fields, the Dolomites and Val Gardena offer something very special.
Val Gardena does not only offer spectacular surroundings. You have access to the world's largest ski network, which offers an incredible 1220 kilometers of slopes.
A popular road called Sellaronda takes you all the way around the giant ski system and allows you to access four different valleys and three provinces with one single lift pass. The ride is expected to take up to six hours so be sure to keep track of the time as the ski lifts are not open at night.
Of course, Val Gardena also offers the perfect Italian cuisine and with an average of 300 days of sun, there is a great chance to possibly get the classic goggle sunburn.
The large ski system offers skiing for everyone from beginners to the most experienced skiers.
