ℹ️ These figures refer to the Val Gardena ski area, shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all of them. The values shown here and on the pages of neighbouring resorts therefore refer to the same ski area and the same lift pass, so they should not be added together.
The 181 km, 78 lifts and lift pass listed are those of the Val Gardena ski area, shared by Ortisei, Santa Cristina and Selva. The Dolomiti Superski pass also allows you to go round the Sella Ronda. The day price is dynamic or not published: the price shown is an estimate. The breakdown of runs is given as a percentage of the kilometres for each difficulty level. Ortisei (St. Ulrich) is the main village of the Val Gardena, a valley of Ladin culture renowned for its wood carvers. The village gives access to the Seceda, from which a long descent faces the Odle, and to the Alpe di Siusi.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
The Ortisei ski area, with its 181 km of runs, offers a good choice for every type of skier: large enough not to go round in circles for a week, yet compact enough to find your favourite sectors easily. The 78 lifts let you link descents without long queues. Ortisei has kept the authentic identity of a mountain village, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoiled landscapes and a friendly atmosphere that stands apart from the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. With a summit at 2,518 m and a village at 1,236 m, snow reliability in Ortisei is generally good from January to the end of March. A few exceptionally mild winters can cause strains early in the season, but the situation improves quickly with the first substantial snowfalls. The budget for a stay in Ortisei is clearly high: 80€ for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short, Ortisei keeps its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
