We start in Selva at the “Kulturhaus Oswald von Wolkenstein” and follow path no. 30B in the direction of Monte Pana, where we also cross the Ciaslat meadow at the foot of the World Cup downhill route Saslong’s notorious “camel back”. Arriving at the Monte Pana road, we cross this and continue on the hiking trail to the next fork, there we bear right in the direction of S. Cristina and come by way of the Tervela Waterfall to the base station of the Monte Pana chair lift. Here we run directly towards Ruacia, right past the finish area of the Saslong downhill route, up the Ruacia road to the roundabout in the centre of S. Cristina and from there the Tieja Road uphill until we turn right on the old railway and head back to Selva.

We start at the Selva skating arena and follow path no. 17A to the first station of the cross, and from there on path no. 17A over the Rifugio Juac in the direction of Rifugio Firenze (path no. 3-1) and over path no. 13 into the UNESCO World Heritage Puez-Geisler Park in the direction of Pieralongia. We then take path no. 4A which brings us to the mountain station of the Col Raiser cable car. We continue on path no. 4 to the Gamsblut hut, from there along path no. 1A to the Sangon hut, past the Lech Ciaulonch and then on path no. 3 to the Rifugio Juac, which leads back to the Selva skating arena.

The Sellaronda is a top-class ski circuit. Winter sports enthusiasts can expect magnificent views of the snow-covered peaks of the Dolomites, long descents on mostly intermediate slopes, and plenty of opportunities to stop at cozy mountain huts. When you add up the chairlift rides and the descents on the slopes, you cover more than 40 kilometers in about 4 hours. However, you can add as many lifts and slopes as you like. The ski circuit is signposted in both directions, but this tour follows the green markings and goes counterclockwise. The green route offers slightly easier slopes compared to the clockwise-running orange route, but both ski circuits are manageable for average skiers with sufficient stamina.

Find the animals in the woods

We live in a stunning natural landscape. The fantastic Dolomite area is a natural habitat for a large number of wild animals such as deer, chamois, foxes, squirrels, marmots and hares. It is difficult for us to see these animals as they live in the wild. This reflection led to the idea of an “Animals in the Woods“ themed path, which we have divided into two Tours. So you can get to see the animals in any case, as life-sized carved figures along the routes.

Tour One: Start out from the tourist office of Selva Val Gardena and proceed towards path no. 14 to Vallunga/Langental to the St. Sylvester’s Chapel. At the chapel follow The Way of the Cross no. 26 to Daunëi and from there take path no. 3, which will bring you to the Juac mountain hut. Taking instead path no 17A from Daunëi you will see more animals. Return along the same path.

Tour Two: Take path no. 27 from the Ciampinoi cable car station in the centre of Selva. Turn left at Hotel La Pineta and follow the path as far as La Sëlva. Return along the same route back to the starting point.

A detailed map showing the exact location of each of the animal figures is available at the tourist information office.

Skiing galore: welcome to Val Gardena’s skiing area, one of the most traditional in South Tyrol, boasting a diverse variety of slopes of different levels.
Every slope has its own history and we could go as far as saying that it is quite a special one: after all, they were the stage of the 1970 World Ski Championships and therefore, witness to an over 100-year-old skiing tradition in our Ladin valley in the Dolomites. What do they have in common? They are all well-groomed slopes and offer breathtaking views across the legendary Dolomites mountains.
