Orange tour is my favorite, but the green is very nice too. An average skier can perform the orange tour in 2.5-3 hours and the green in 3.5.Some queque leaving Canazei to Arabba but, this apart, a pure pleasure.
Skiing conditions were great, loads of ski area if you are a reasonable level. Ski around the Sella Ronda for a great day of skiing with loads of spectacular scenery. Pink mountains are quite a site in the sun. Mostly reasonable Red runs with a few 'easy' Blacks, nothing too heavy. Plenty of places to eat/drink on the piste and most are picturesque with pleasant friendly staff. Pistes not too busy except early morning when everyone is on the lifts, but even then nothing to be bothered by. Great place to ski. :0)
We had a ski guide taking us round the Sella Ronda orange route. The joy of this was that we did not have to check which lifts to take and we stopped off at places we would not have known about if we had not had a guide. We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather which enhanced the fantastic scenery. We have spent many years skiing in France. Probably never again. We have hardly scratched the surface of the Dolomites. There is not only fantastic skiing, with almost no queuing, but there is a great deal of history, when the Austrians and Germans fought the Italians in the first world war in these high mountains. The local people seem to genuinely want you to have a good time and prices on the mountain were very reasonable for delicious food and drink
excellent ski slopes, fantastic views, service on the hills, variaty of lifts. You can travel from one ski resort to another by ski.
Vast area of skiing. In ten days skiing I felt I has not scratched the surface of this beautiful skiing area. So much so it is a little daunting finding your way without a guide in poor visibility. Having said this I hope I have the chance to return and to discover and learn more about this amazing area.
I have skied all over the world. I would say to ski the Dolomites and start from Canazie or other towns on the Selaronda are the skiers find of the century. It is like skiing in 5 Vail resorts in one place with amazing beauty and wide variety of terrain. This is enough for all levels, but if you are looking for a lot of double blacks, you will not find it here but enough decent challenge to keep even experts happy. By far the most extensive and most beautiful place I have ever skied.
You will never regret taking a trip to the Dolomites, and Canazei is a great place to do it. Beautiful little town with excellent little hotels and B&B's, excellent food, and oh the slopes. Ski different runs every day, get the super pass, and still end up back in town at the end of the day.
Loved wide slopes even if they were black ones. Better to start skiing at 8:30 or around 10 to avoid queing at main elevators.
Sella ronda signs didn't appearu as clear as before,Still very exciting and the piste are very well maintained.Area worth going for guaranteed snow
Four minutes to ski shop,six minutes to cable car and access to whole ski area. Fir.st time in five years we did not have wall to wall sunshine for the week.Quite a lot of flat light making skiing difficult, despite large amounts of snow.Good week
