Sellaronda

The ski area holds the claim to fame of boasting one of the most well-known ski routes in the world, known as the Sellaronda. This must-see route covers 25 miles and has garnered awards as the best ski route in the world, takes you over four stunning mountain passes, and can be fully accessed with your Ikon pass.


The route covers the four Ladin valleys of Val Gardena, Alta Badia, Arabba and Val di Fassa. You can easily cover it in a single day, heading in either direction around the route. If you’re following the route clockwise look out for orange signage, while green signage guides you around the route anti-clockwise. The route is of medium difficulty and requires a bit of stamina!


Tips:

  • This route takes about 6 hours to complete. We recommend setting off before 10 a.m. so you can be on the last pass by 3:30 p.m. 
  • Check the weather before heading out. If the weather conditions are bad (e.g. blowing snow and strong wind), some lifts may be closed.

The First World War ski route

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is also host to the very First World War ski route, known as the Peace Route. This 50-mile historical route through the Dolomites is fully accessible with your Ikon pass, and can be skied as a full day tour, taking you on a journey through history as you ski past numerous historical areas tucked into the mountains.

This route goes around the Col di Lana, a mountain which has become a symbol of the First World War. This is where Austrian, German, and Italian forces battled between 1915 - 1917. It now represents a war memorial. It passes famous mountains such as Civetta, Monte Pelmo, Tofana, Lagazuoi, Conturines, Settsass, Sassongher, Sella and Marmolada –stunning views guaranteed. This ski route is challenging and only for experienced skiers.

Tips:

  • Allow for 6 - 8 hours for this route. If you want to complete the First World War ski route in a single day you should set out early. You can also split it over two days, giving you more time to explore the ski resorts.
  • The Civetta ski resort is a popular starting point for the First World War ski route, but you can also set off from San Cassiano, Corvara, Arabba and Malga Ciapela.
  • The downward slopes from Lagazuoi to Armentarola and from Punta Rocca over the Marmolada glacier to Malga Ciapela are stunning. The latter is 12 km long, making it the longest slope in the Dolomites.

Standout mountains in the region include Arabba/Marmolada and Cortina d’Ampezzo in the heart of the Dolomites, destinations skiers simply can’t miss.
