In 2020, the Sellaronda was awarded the title of 'best ski tour' by the portal skiresort.de.

Clockwise the signs are orange, anticlockwise green.  The slopes are suitable for skiers of average experience in good physical condition. For those who wish to dare more, there are some 'disgressions', such as the Gran Risa giant slalom slope in La Villa in Alta Badia or the Saslong descent in Santa Cristina in Val Gardena.  To complete the Sellaronda, one must calculate about 6 hours between descents, ascents and breaks included.

Once you have left the village centre, you will understand why La Val is called the village of Alpine meadows: green, well-kept meadows will constantly surround you during this hike. The man-made landscape between 1300 and 2000 metres above sea level developed through the hard work of our farming ancestors, which today is facilitated by the use of agricultural machinery. 

As the altitude increases, so does the consistency of the meadows: from meagre meadows to the larch meadows of Armentara. Along the route you will find wonderful viewpoints, a sulphurous water spring at Al Bagn and several refreshment points where you can refresh yourself with some of the delicious Ladin specialities that can satisfy every palate: try the typical bales (dumplings) or snack on a well-earned slice of strudel.

I have been practising the profession of mountain guide for over 30 years. Mine has been a life choice I have strongly desired since I was a boy, when I only wanted to spend all my time in the mountains. The Dolomites and Corvara are my favourite place for climbing, hiking and off-piste descents in the surrounding mountains, but also in the Alps, the mountains of the Mediterranean, Scandinavia and many other places. Accompanying people on mountaineering activities is an important assumption of responsibility, but it means first of all understanding their expectations and opening up to them the most authentic aspects of the mountains. After having been part of a team of guides for many years, I preferred to do the job individually in order to give more attention to all those aspects that are important to me in this profession, first and foremost the friendship with the pupil.

"Every grain of that stone, every mineral glow of that mountain, cloaked in night, form, by themselves, a world. Even the struggle to the summit is enough to fill a man's heart." - Albert Camus

The Dolomites, with the mountains of Sas dla Crusc on one side and Pütia on the other one, provide the frame for the expertly and lovingly mown and tended meadows, old barns and farmsteads with the gardens of the 'viles', the traditional rural settlements in the oldest part of La Val. During this simple walk through the old farmsteads of the village, you will feel enveloped by the still living tradition and culture of the village. In addition, on your way you will see the little church of St. Barbara, the symbol of the village, and the bell tower of the old church of La Val.

Along the trail, there are two farmhouses, "Ciablun" and "Lüch de Survisc", where you can stop to savour the authentic and genuine dishes of the Ladin cuisine.
