Ortisei is the principal village of the Gardena Valley, lying 5kms from Selva. Its characteristic centre is full of pastel coloured buildings, boutiques, tea rooms and restaurants. Ortisei’s local Alpe di Siusi ski area is a lovely sunny bowl with a wide choice of cruisy scenic runs, whilst the central Seceda gondola connects Ortisei to the Sella Ronda circuit via Santa Cristina, where advanced skiers can try the men’s World Downhill run en-route. Alternatively take the speedy Gardena Express train. The resort also offers a spa centre, ice skating, sleigh rides and a thrilling 6km Toboggan Run, great fun though not for the faint hearted! Après ski is quite lively, the most popular being Siglu Bar and Bar Mauriz providing entertainment into the small hours.
