Sellaronda – Clockwise is Orange, Green is Anit-Clockwise

To go the “orange way” on the Sella Ronda, you should follow the orange signs, which guide you along the clockwise route of the circuit. This direction is generally considered the more challenging and popular option, featuring a greater variety of slopes.  

Key things to know about the orange route:

  • Direction:The orange signs indicate the clockwise direction around the Sella Massif. 
  • Difficulty:It’s often recommended for more experienced skiers and snowboarders due to its more challenging terrain. 
  • Features:This route is known for packing in the most varied slopes and takes you through spectacular parts of the Dolomites. 
  • Navigation:Look for the orange circles on signs at forks in the slopes and near the entrances to the ski lifts to stay on the circuit. 

Green Route

On the Sella Ronda, the green signs guide you on the anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) route. If you are looking for the green path, you should follow the signs to go around the Sella Massif in a counter-clockwise direction.  

Key points for the green route:

  • Direction: Anti-clockwise. 
  • Signage: Follow the green signs. 
  • Characteristics: The green Sella circuit is often considered slightly easier than the orange (clockwise) route, with fewer drag lifts, making it a good option for snowboarders and those looking for a quieter, less demanding day out on the slopes. 
  • Best for: Intermediate skiers, snowboarders, and those who prefer to avoid some of the trickier terrain. 

The Sella Ronda ski route is approximately 40 km (25 miles) long, including both downhill runs and ski lifts, and consists of 26 km (16 miles) of actual pistes. This famous circuit is located in the Dolomites and loops around the Sella Massif, traversing four different valleys and four mountain passes. 
Key Details:
Total Length: Around 40 kilometers. 
Piste Length: Approximately 26 kilometers of downhill ski runs. 
Scenery: The route offers spectacular views as it passes through the Ladin valleys and UNESCO-protected Dolomites. 
Direction: The circuit can be skied in either direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise), with specific signage for each.
