Dolomiti Superski is the brand of 12 major ski networks made up of 100+ ski resorts and more than 500km of ski slopes accommodating all levels of skiers.
Stretching from Bolzano to Cortina, Dolomiti Superski includes the internationally famous resorts Cortina D’Ampezzo, Canazei and the Unesco mountain range of SellaRonda.
The ski season is from December to April, guaranteeing 4 months of quality skiing. In summer the Dolomites offer spectacular mountain sport activities. The low season is during the months of October & November when neither summer nor winter activities prevail.
How to get to Dolomiti Superski.
International airports include Verona (2hours), Innsbruck (1.5hours), Venice (2 hours) and Bergamo (3 hours). The A22 motorway connects Verona with Innsbruck and is the principal access route to Bolzano the nearest city to the west of Dolomiti Superski. Resorts in the east near to Cortina can be reached from Venice on the A27 motorway.
History
The Dolomites were once ruled by the Austrians. The culture, property designs and language have strong Austrian roots. In some valleys they speak Ladino, the local dialect, which to the untrained ear sounds German/Austrian. Mixed with the Italian flair, food and wine the Dolomites offer a wide cultural experience.
Focus
At the heart of the Dolomiti Superski circuits is the world famous Sella Ronda mountain range. Recent improvements and investment in ski lifts connecting once independent resorts now permits skiers to ski round the mountain range of the SellaRonda over the mountain passes of Campolongo, Gardena, Sella and Pordoi, directly connecting in a circular route the ski networks of Val Gardena, Alto Badia and Arabba. It is 24km round the SellaRonda and you need to set off early in the morning to ensure that you make it all the way round in time for the last ski lift towards your ski resort. (it can prove expensive taking a taxi across valleys !).
Resorts in nearby valleys have also made strategic connections to the SellaRonda circuit, opening their existing network of slopes to extra kilometres of spectacular pistes. Resorts like Canazaei have seen huge expansion after they connected to the SellaRonda.
