Selva / Val Gardena

Italy

Selva and the Sella Ronda

The upside

  • A key resort of the Sella Ronda region, so it’s good for snowmaking, extent, scenery, mountain huts
  • Spectacular, dramatic setting
  • Excellent local slopes, with big verticals by Sella Ronda standards
  • Mix of open and wooded slopes
  • Excellent nursery slopes

The downside

  • Some of the minus points of the Sella Ronda region apply, too; notably: erratic natural snowfall, crowds on the main Sella Ronda circuit
  • Buses or taxis are needed for access to easy long runs to suit near-beginners, at Plan de Gralba
  • Latest user reviews

    Summary

    Selva is one of three sizeable resorts near the head of Val Gardena (a name well known to ski racing fans) and one of the main bases for exploration of the unique Sella Ronda region, described in a separate page. Selva is one of the best bases in the area, essentially because of the challenging local slopes, including two race courses through woods to the valley. Beginners and timid intermediates, though, are probably better off staying in Corvara or Colfosco.
