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 shown are those of the Val Gardena ski area, shared by Ortisei, Santa Cristina and Selva. The Dolomiti Superski pass also lets you ski the Sella Ronda. The day price is dynamic or not published: the one shown is an estimate. The breakdown of runs is given as a percentage of the kilometres of each difficulty.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
The Selva di Val Gardena ski area, with its 181 km of runs, offers a fine range 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 runs without long queues. Selva di Val Gardena has managed to keep an authentic mountain-village identity, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoilt scenery and a warm, friendly atmosphere that stands apart from the industrial side of skiing in some large ski areas. With a summit at 2,518 m and a village at 1,563 m, snow reliability at Selva di Val Gardena is generally good from January to late March. A few exceptionally mild winters can cause snow shortages early in the season, but the situation recovers quickly once serious snowfalls arrive. The budget for a stay at Selva di Val Gardena 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 be aware of it before you go. In short: Selva di Val Gardena lives up to its promises. A resort in the Northern Alps that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
