Dolomites Ski Safari Getaway

Arrive in Val Badia at your leisure (private transfer available on request) and check into your hotel.

In the morning, meet your UIAGM/IFMGA professional ski guide (guided trips) for a trip briefing and equipment check (and rent gear if needed).
The Sellaronda Ski Tour is one of the most fantastic spectacular ski tours in the world, circumnavigating the Sella Massif. Considered somewhat of a “merry-go-round” for intermediate level skiers, this unique circular connection of lifts and runs was once the only way the ancient inhabitants of the Ladin villages could maintain a connection with each other. Nowadays it’s a modern day carousel that connects four Dolomite passes and four Ladin valleys (Val Gardena, Alta Badia, Val di Fassa, and Arabba).

Ski to Malga Ciapela, where you'll find the first of the three cable cars taking you up to the Marmolada Glacier. Known as the “Queen of the Dolomites,” Marmolada (3,350m / 10,990') is the highest peak and the only glacier in these mountains. You will get our full share of stunning views all around you, including the Catinaccio, Sassolungo, Sella, and Gran Vernel.
The highest point of the ski area is Punta Rocca Station (3,265m / 10,712'), the starting point of one of the most beautiful ski runs of the Alps, and the longest run in the Dolomites: La Bellunese. This 12-kilometer (7.15-mile) piste features a 1,823-meter (5,981') vertical descent. It is a wide, consistent run, with few corners or changes in gradient, inviting you to find a rhythm and carve turns all the way down the mountain.

In winter the ski slopes of the Lagazuoi, Cinque Torri, and Giau area are always perfect, thanks to the favorable exposure and to the use of artificial snow making when necessary. The slopes are easy to moderate, and all are immensely satisfying.
The Lagazuoi cable car arrives at an altitude of 2,800 meters (9,186') in only three minutes! Once you reach the top, stop to enjoy the breathtaking panorama from the terrace of the Rifugio Lagazuoi, famous throughout the world for its spectacular views of the Dolomite peaks.
The Armentarola slope unfolds along the foot of the imposing Fanes mountain, in an enchanting fairy-tale valley surrounded by majestic castles of rock and frozen waterfalls, making this magical descent an endless flow of thrills and surprises. And just like in the fairy-tales, the run ends with a horse-drawn lift from where you can ski back to your hotel in Alta Badia.

Breakfast and departure on your own (private transfer available on request).
