possibilities in and around Ortisei/St.Ulrich:
– In local part “Überwasser” of ortisei near
the Val Gardena river and easily accessible from the main square.
Nearby is the ski school which offers easy beginner runs “Palmer”
and “Furdenan”.
– The “Piz Ronce”, FIS-Slalom slope of the world
championship in 1970 has a 600 meter long lift that lies on the
same side of the mountain, somewhat to the west.
– Directly from the Seiser-Alm-Seilbahn (cable car) mountain
station (2005 m) average skiers can take the new slope “Pilat”
back to Ortisei. Length: 6 km, altitude change 800 m.
– From the Seiser-Alm mountain station facing southwest one
can behold the ski lift “Ludy”, “Sanon”
and “Leo Demetz” as well as the chair lift “Sonne”
(sun). One can also return with the “Sonne“. Average
skiers and kids do splendidly on these fairly steep, sunny slopes
with lovely mountain backdrop.
– The ski slopes to the far south of the Seiser Alm (Goldknop/Saltria
– Florianlift/Zallinger) and the ski slopes on the west end
of the Alm (Kompatsch/Panorama/Puflatsch) offer four runs of all
difficulty levels. They reach as far as Monte Piz – Stegerlift
– Paradisolift and return over the Paradisoabfahrt –
Monte Piz – Skilift Sanon –Skilift Leo Demetz –
chair lift Sonne all the way back to the cable car.
– In case one desires more variety and a connection to the
valley floor one can take the slope from the mountain station
“Florian Lift” (2140 m) on northeast side towards Monte
Pana. (Also includes a short incline.) Caution: the slope is not
maintained so without maintenance it can be hazardous. It is fairly
steep and can be a chalenge for average skiers without experience
in deep snow.
– The “Raschötzer” run (8 km, altitude change
900 m) begins five minutes south of the Raschötzer mountain
station. For a change of scenery, this is a very pretty forest run
ideal for above-average skiers. Once at the middle station, Seceda-Seilbahn,
(with connections to the Seceda-Alm or Ortisei) the path merges
into the “Nogler-Abfahrt” and finishes at the valley
station Seceda-Seilbahn.
– After the cable car mountain station “Seceda”
(2450 m) comes the well known Nogler-Abfahrt (downhill run) over
the Cucasattel, past the middle station Furnes and Annatal to return
to the valley station. Altitude change 1282 m, length 8.5 km. On
the way to Furnes for secure skiers and from then on, above average
skiers.
Skiing possibilities in and around
S. Cristina / St.Christina:
– From the Seceda mountain station there is a major run leading
through open, sunny slopes all the way to the valley floor of Cicles
and eventually S. Cristina. Length 7.5 km, altitude change 1090
m.
– In the Seceda-Alm area, two double chairlifts will be introduced
by Col Raiser, “Fermeda” and “Catores”,
three lifts, “Cuca”, “Cisles” and “Juac”
as well as a crossover connection, “Col Raiser” with
numerous different routes. Across the Seceda or possibly the adjoining
cable car “Ruaccia” and chairlift “Sochers”
one can reach the “Ciampinoigipfel” and get to the Men’s
World Championship Downhill run.
– Obove S. Cristina lies the idyllic high plateau of “Monte
Pana” – right under the Langkofel. This is ideal for
children and beginners who use the lifts “Tschucky”,
“Culac”, “Puntea”, “Janon”,
and “Parallel”. More advanced skiers may take two particularly
pretty directions from the “Mont de Sëura” point
(2056 m), accessible halfway with double chairlifts.
Skiing possibilites in and around Selva
Gardena / Wolkenstein:
– In the town alone is where beginners can practice ideally.
– From Selva Gardena one reaches the ski slopes of Dantercepies
(previous host run of the Women’s World Championship route),
the Grödner Joch, as well as the neighboring Gader Valley.
– The Ski area of Ciampinoi is accsesable by the Ciampinoi
cable car. The fantastic slopes of “Plan de Gralba”
and Sellajoch have about 18 lifts, all different levels and are
endless with kilometers of high alpine landscape. This is directly
under the Dolomite boulders.
