Resort Height:1563m

"The variety of skiing on offer here is truly fantastic, and the town has the energy to match the die-hards at the end of the day. Once again the quality of the rooms and accommodation is fantastic, so there’s always a comfy nights sleep ahead of you when you do hit the hay"

Prior to the World War I, these towns were actually part of Austria, hence the Tyrolean identity here. Both Italian and German are spoken as well as Ladino, a Latin dialect specific to Val Gardena. Another Sella Ronda linked resort, it boasts several fast lifts from the town, meaning wherever you are staying in the resort, you are never far from a lift to take you into the mountains. Selva boasts some beautiful pistes against the back drop of the Sella Massif, ranging from wide open runs above the tree line to pretty little enclosed runs back towards resort.
Please note:Ski helmets are compulsory for children and are included when children pre book ski hire.

Apres Ski
As much or as little as you like. There is a plethora of bars, cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes at the foot of the slopes that fill up quickly from about 4 ‘o clock and are open till late, providing a choice of jolly Austrian style après or more chilled out italian chic.

Beginners
Meet with the ski school and get straight onto the slopes that terminate in the village. There’s a plentiful supply of flattering blue runs in the surrounding area that will give you plenty to do once you fly the nest of the nursery slopes, located just outside the resort centre.

Intermediates
Another Sella Ronda gem to be savoured. The lift systems ensure that you are catapulted straight into breathtaking blues and reds that surround Selva and beyond the Sella gruppe. Mile after mile of well groomed slopes call out to be skied each day, taking you to a new restaurant everyday for lunch on the sunny slopes

Advanced
Although the surrounding slopes of Selva are generally fairly flattering reds and blues, there is a World Cup downhill course that is kept in racing condition for the Italian teams training, and is open to the public when there is not a race on. For those wanting to put some miles under their skis, head over towards Arabba where you can ski the famous Marmolada Glacier on the generally more challenging slopes of Portavescovo

Snowboarding
The modern lift system is particularly boarder friendly with all the main lifts out of resort being either chairs or gondolas. The pistes on the whole are wide and above the trees, and drag lifts are minimal. The Sella Ronda does have one or two flatter sections that might require a short walk between lifts.
