Dolomiti Superski - the once in a lifetime for every skier. Beware, you will return and always compare all other resorts to Dolomiti Superski / Sella Ronda. Amazing in size and quality of pistes and food.

Great area - huge amount of terrain and you can spend different days in different areas all linked by fast lifts. Good mountain hut options for lunch as well and some lively apres if you know where to go

Great mixture of a wide range of skiing in multiple valleys with amazing Italian food. Will be a main stay location when skiing with the family from now on.

Well thought out friendly reasonably priced. The locals make it and are very friendly and proud of their home. Virtually snow guaranteed. The range of runs suits all levels and families. World class lift system possibly the best. Non skiers can take advantage of the tourist office arranged activities and easily use the transport system to get to other villages or even Bolzano. The villages are always very clean and retain character. There are also a lot of winter walks cafes and resort shops. Apart from the villages in Val Gardena there is easy access to the vast array of runs in the Sella Ronda and now Cortina. Now attracting ski snobs who are finding other resorts expensive. Once you know the area though you can have great ski days and avoid the crowds. Rarely has lift queues. New investment each year has helped with that. Best resort hands down and all Ski Dolomiti resorts are invested in each year.

Having been to numerous resorts and ski areas in the past, this was my first time in the Dolomites, and the Sella Ronda region. Without question this is the best region I have skied for both quality and variety of runs and scenery. A fantastic region. Stayed at the Hotel Boutique Pralong, a small gem of a hotel run by Christian and his family. A welcoming hotel, sumptuous in its decor, with excellent food. A hotel way beyond its 3 star rating. Will be returning to both the Sella Ronda, Selva and the Pralong again next season.
