Val Gardena / Seiser Alm is an Alpine ski resort in Italy. Val Gardena / Seiser Alm spans from 1236 m to 2518 m above sea level. The published figures cover 175 km of piste and 79 lifts.
Typically early December to early April. Officially confirmed 2026-27 season for Val Gardena/Sellaronda lifts: 4 Dec 2026 - 4 Apr 2027 (val-gardena.com). No train station in the valley itself. Nearest stations: Ponte Gardena-Waidbruck (~18 km from Selva) and Bolzano (~40 km). Nearest airports: Bolzano Airport (small, limited routes, ~1h transfer), Innsbruck (~2h drive), Verona (~2h15 drive).
Verified locations only: the resort area and its named cable car stations. We don't have precise coordinates for individual accommodation listings, so those aren't plotted here — use the booking link in the sidebar instead.
Ski schools (multiple, across Ortisei, Santa Cristina and Selva)
Terrain parks (Snowpark Sassolungo/Funpark Sassolungo; Snowpark Furdenan in Ortisei)
Ice rinks (Pranives arena in Selva; Setil ice rink in Ortisei; Iman Centre rink in Santa Cristina)
Every note below is drawn from the resort's own or an independent official publication.
Lift count varies by source: 79 lifts is the figure on the official Dolomiti Superski Val Gardena area page and trail-map PDF (used here); several third-party aggregator/booking sites (not official) quote 82-84, likely due to different area boundaries or including summer-only lifts.
Piste km also varies: some tourism-board pages loosely describe 'over 500 km' when conflating Val Gardena with adjacent connected Dolomiti Superski zones — this figure was not used because it does not match the official Val Gardena/Seiser Alm area-specific figure (175 km).
No officially published km-by-difficulty (green/blue/red/black) breakdown was located for Val Gardena specifically; left null.
Village base altitudes differ from the ski area's overall lowest lift point (1,236 m, near Ortisei/St. Ulrich): Selva sits at ~1,563 m and Santa Cristina at ~1,428 m.
Val Gardena has two village tourist offices (Selva and Ortisei) under the same valgardena.it organization; Selva's office is used here as primary contact since it's the more central/higher village, Ortisei office: +39 0471 777600, ortisei@valgardena.it.
Exact lift capacities (persons/hour, cabin size) were not consistently verifiable — Seceda's cabin capacity in particular is reported inconsistently across sources (6-8 person first section stated by one source, second-section cabin described elsewhere as holding anywhere from ~30 to ~60 standing passengers), so capacity_note is left null for all Val Gardena lifts rather than asserting a disputed figure.
Night skiing in Val Gardena could not be confirmed from available sources and is omitted rather than assumed.
Ice rink details come from a single aggregated source; worth re-verifying against gardenaseiseralm.com or valgardena.it directly if precision matters.
