The Sella Ronda is a circular route (it is more a square for those people who like to be pedantic), which you can tackle clockwise (orange route) or anti-clockwise (green route). Of course you do not have to do it all you can use it go from one ski area to another.
Example Corvara to Val Gardena – my guess this is 35 minutes skiing. Then with the Dolomiti Superski pass explore that area.
Alternatively go the other way and explore Araba.
Each of these named town / villages have lift systems which enable the exploration of that part of the Alps.
The fastest you can go round the whole route with no stops and no queuing for lifts is 3-hours.
Andrea (Tam’s travel contact) has suggested Corvara would be a good location for a good deal on accommodation and great skiing.

ABOUT CORVARA
Corvara and Colfosco are delightful villages nestled in the Alta Badia region of the Dolomites and have been enjoyed by British skiers for many years. Ideally located on the Sellaronda circuit, both areas have easy access to the main slopes including connections to
- Arabba,
- Selva,
- Val di Fassa and the exhilarating Marmolada glacier.
The local ski areas of La Villa and San Cassiano also boast superb skiing amidst inspiring scenery.
Apart from the Sellaronda, the best local skiing is “up the road” at Corvara, taking in the excellent “local” slopes of La Villa and San Cassiano.
Both villages also have access to the ski areas of Arabba, Selva, Val di Fassa and the iconic Marmolada glacier. Colfosco is the final destination for one of the great off-piste descents in the Dolomites – the Val Mezdi (Mid-day Valley). But do take a guide and be prepared to turn back if the steep start of the run puts you off! It quickly levels out, and by the time you have reached Colfosco, you’ll have descended well over 1,200 vertical metres (almost 4,000 feet) – and skied one of Italy’s classic runs.

Important information skiing in Italy If you’re skiing or snowboarding in Italy, it’s a legal requirement to have third-party liability insurance. This protects you in case you accidentally bump into someone on the slopes, and local authorities do carry out spot checks to ensure you’re covered. Wearing a helmet is also now compulsory for all skiers and snowboarders in Italy. If you’re not wearing one, you could face a fine or even have your lift pass taken away – so it’s best to stay safe and protected on the mountain. |
I doubt if you’d get bored skiing around Corvara:
– Both areas have World Cup black runs
– Both are on the Sella Ronda
– Corvara has better access to some easy but fun exploring such as the Hidden Valley, Santa Croce and Cinque Torri
– Corvara has easy access to Arabba if you want some more challenging slopes.
– For longer trips from Corvara you can ski to Marmolada or ski over and explore some of Cortina.
