With a long history of this part of the Italian Dolomites being in Austrian hands, there is a distinctly Tirolean feel to the resort, reflected not only in the look of the place, but the menus in the restaurants and also by the fact that many of the locals speak German as a first language. Staying in the centre of Selva of the resort affords maximum convenience and the quickest access to the main circuit. Further down the valley, St Ortesei and St Cristina offer good alternative locations.
Food plays a big part in the Val Gardena ski holiday experience. Not only are there excellent restaurants in town serving Sudtirol specialities, but on the hill there are some very good mountain restaurants. These won’t break the bank either, unlike at some other major ski resorts.
Resort may close on a different date depending on conditions
The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.
Val Gardena has received certification from the Global Sustainability Tourism Council (GSTC) as a sustainable tourist destination, requiring the a destination to meet criteria across four areas, including sustainable management, socio-economic sustainability, cultural sustainability, and environmental sustainability.
The GSTC is a UN-affiliated body dedicated to enabling sustainable tourism around the world. GSTC certification is controlled by Vireo, an Italian for-profit certification and licencing organisation that manages several similar schemes. Val Gardena was awarded its certificate in 2023, which expires in 2026.
