Ski-in/ski-out

Ortisei is a handsome valley-floor town with gondolas climbing straight onto the slopes; many hotels are in the centre with the lifts a short walk away.

Get to know the resort

Ortisei is the most attractive valley-floor town in the Dolomites, a Ladin centre famous for its woodcarving where Tyrolean and Italian cultures blend. Three gondolas from the edge of town climb to Seceda, the Alpe di Siusi and the Sella Ronda circuit, opening 175 km of Val Gardena piste and the giant Dolomiti Superski beyond. Calm and family-friendly compared with Selva up the valley, with some of the loveliest piste-side views in the Alps.
