Winter in Selva di Val Gardena: true emotion

Sun and relaxation at high altitude

If the mantra of an active winter has won you over, this does not mean doing without long moments of relaxation outdoors. You will find a typical Ladin welcome in the mountain huts and refuges, which are accessible by ski lift, on foot with snowshoes or on skis. You can rest and relax, sip a hot drink and think of nothing but how majestic the Dolomites are from the sunny terraces.
