dolomiti ski tour

Orange tour is my favorite, but the green is very nice too. An average skier can perform the orange tour in 2.5-3 hours and the green in 3.5.Some queque leaving Canazei to Arabba but, this apart, a pure pleasure.

Very large ski area with a lot of elevators and slops. Very good equipment and responsible staff. There is different slops for any level of experiance.

Vast area of skiing. In ten days skiing I felt I has not scratched the surface of this beautiful skiing area. So much so it is a little daunting finding your way without a guide in poor visibility. Having said this I hope I have the chance to return and to discover and learn more about this amazing area.

every day another skitour. Excellent connected slopes and lifts. Eating and drinking in mountain lodges everywhere. People are nice and helpful.

Loved wide slopes even if they were black ones. Better to start skiing at 8:30 or around 10 to avoid queing at main elevators.

Skiing conditions were great, loads of ski area if you are a reasonable level. Ski around the Sella Ronda for a great day of skiing with loads of spectacular scenery. Pink mountains are quite a site in the sun. Mostly reasonable Red runs with a few 'easy' Blacks, nothing too heavy. Plenty of places to eat/drink on the piste and most are picturesque with pleasant friendly staff. Pistes not too busy except early morning when everyone is on the lifts, but even then nothing to be bothered by. Great place to ski. :0)

Such a well organised area. On the piste catering is superb, good value, clean and quick (if you wish.)Every effort was made to make pistes safe & enjoyable. Well done guys! Briliant job. See you again next year.

We had a ski guide taking us round the Sella Ronda orange route. The joy of this was that we did not have to check which lifts to take and we stopped off at places we would not have known about if we had not had a guide. We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather which enhanced the fantastic scenery. We have spent many years skiing in France. Probably never again. We have hardly scratched the surface of the Dolomites. There is not only fantastic skiing, with almost no queuing, but there is a great deal of history, when the Austrians and Germans fought the Italians in the first world war in these high mountains. The local people seem to genuinely want you to have a good time and prices on the mountain were very reasonable for delicious food and drink

excellent ski slopes, fantastic views, service on the hills, variaty of lifts. You can travel from one ski resort to another by ski.

A group of us have just finished skiing in the Dolomites for the past 9 days, using the SkiPass system, and a ski safari organised by the Dolomite Mountains business. The SkiPass enables you to ski over a massive area (with 1200 km of prepared trails throughout 12 resorts), using lifts, cable cars, gondolas and anything imaginable to get you up the mountain so you can go down multiple ways. Despite the lack of natural snow throughout the region, we still had a great experience and good conditions, with fine days and very little wind to effect our daily experience. We still managed to ski between 20-40 km each day, averaging about 30km a day. The area had extensive man made snow and so we were able to ski on ribbons of white snow over brown mountains. Wind only effected one day where we couldn't use the top cable ways, but fortunately with local knowledge, it didn't impact our skiing all that much. We did have a local mountain guide and this saved the day for us. Without Max, we wouldn't have known where there was snow or what were suitable alternative routes. While this is an additional cost, if you have travelled a distance to be in the region it's well worth the investment. Max was friendly, helpful, resourceful, full of local history and great company too. We started in Ortisei and finished in Cortina, using a combination of standard local bus services as part of the SkiPass, skiing in to our accommodation as we were able to do at Rifugio Averau, or we had transport organised to take us from the area we skied in to Rifugio Fuciade, where sadly we were not able to ski in or out of. ( When they have snow, you get taken to the Rifugio on a snow cat, with a trailer. ) We stayed in a variety of friendly hotels and mountain lodges but we especially enjoyed the mountain Rifugio's and their amazing culinary delights. We had dinner and breakfast provided so only had to look for lunch. Throughout the various ski areas, we had plenty to choose from to be able to enjoy local cuisine for lunches on the mountain slopes. The villages we passed through either on skiis or in a vehicle were lit up at night with Christmas lights, making it all very magical.Our group all had a similar advanced skiing ability and this helped us all enjoy the amazing environment at every turn on this safari. While people with good intermediate skiing ability could do a safari, it's best to be skiing with people with similar skill levels so everyone can enjoy the trip. A beginner skier will find this type of touring challenging.The whole experience has been wonderful and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys skiing and is looking for a different "on piste" experience where you don't need to ski the same runs all day, but you can enjoy skiing from mountain to mountain, valley to valley using the lift systems and prepared trials..

Sella ronda signs didn't appearu as clear as before,Still very exciting and the piste are very well maintained.Area worth going for guaranteed snow

You will never regret taking a trip to the Dolomites, and Canazei is a great place to do it. Beautiful little town with excellent little hotels and B&B's, excellent food, and oh the slopes. Ski different runs every day, get the super pass, and still end up back in town at the end of the day.

The area is big, with a lot of opportunities with.The Sella Ronda as a must. We lived in Canazei, and I can really recommend this if you are going to stay close to the Sella part of the Dolomites. A small town, but with a couple of good restaurants and after ski.. The skiing is mostly easy. Some places it can be crowded, but just get through it and you will find a lot of slopes with less people. If you decide to take the Sella Ronda, get up in the morning. It's better at the start of the day. I also recommend to do the Sella clockwise. I found it a little more challenging. But why not go both ways :-).The slopes are usually well groomed, but as you can expect it will have some moguls at the end of the day at certain areas. Some days it can also get a bit icy, but not too much. This of course depend on the weather too. But if you want to bring your family, or are a group of friends that are not too into the extreme skiing, I can warmy recommend Sella ( and Canazei ).

I have skied all over the world. I would say to ski the Dolomites and start from Canazie or other towns on the Selaronda are the skiers find of the century. It is like skiing in 5 Vail resorts in one place with amazing beauty and wide variety of terrain. This is enough for all levels, but if you are looking for a lot of double blacks, you will not find it here but enough decent challenge to keep even experts happy. By far the most extensive and most beautiful place I have ever skied.

Four minutes to ski shop,six minutes to cable car and access to whole ski area. Fir.st time in five years we did not have wall to wall sunshine for the week.Quite a lot of flat light making skiing difficult, despite large amounts of snow.Good week
