The hotels are always reachable by car and on skis. In the heart of the "SELLA RONDA". - a single ski pass - Superski Dolomiti allows the use of 460 structures and 1.220 km of perfect, snow-capped slopes.The ski pass can be bought at the hotel.
The Four Dolomite Passes Tour, called "Sella Ronda", is situated around the Sella massif, passing through the four Ladin valleys: the Val di Fassa, the Val Gardena, the Val Badia and the Fodom. It takes you about a day to do the tour.
The Sella Ronda ski tour can be done clockwise, following the orange marks, or anticlockwise, following the green marks. You start at 50 m altitude from the Hotel Pordoi and the Hotel Appartamenti Garni Gonzaga.
It is one of the most beautiful ski raids in the world, a ski-safari with modern ski lifts, which you can also use during summer, admiring famous valleys such as the Fassa Valley, the Val Gardena, the Alta Badia and the Fodom. You will see the following places: Canazei, Selva Gardena, Colfosco, Corvara and Arabba di Livinallongo del Col di Lana. You will pass the four mythic passes of the Dolomites: the 2.239 m high Pordoi Pass, the 2.237 m high Sella Pass, the 2.212 m high Gardena Pass and the 1.875 m high Campolongo Pass.
You can do the Sella Ronda also on two wheels, i.e. by bicycle, thinking of the historical deeds of Coppi and Bartali at the Giro d'Italia or by motorcycle, feeling the fizzy air in you face. Incomparable panoramas of the Dolomites follow one another, the Marmolada, Queen of the Dolomites, the Sella Group, the Sasso Lungo, the Cinque Dita, the Sasso Piatto and the Monti Pallidi, witnesses of the homonymous famous legend.
The Sella Ronda - either done on skis, two wheels or four wheels - leaves indelible impressions.
The Freedom Tour is partly situated on First World War territory. It takes you about a day to do the tour and it can be done clockwise or anticlockwise too. The starting point is always the ski lift of the Gonzaga and the chair lift Sass Bacè (with 6 seating places). Then you descend to Arabba a Portavescovo towards the Marmolada. On the Malga Ciapela is a ski bus, which takes you to the skiing area "Civetta" and from there to the skiing areas Passo Giau, Cinque Torri and Passo Falzarego. You reach the 2.752 m high Cima Lagazuoi by cableway in order to then descend via the "gran canion" to the Armentarola and San Cassiano al Piz Sorega. From there you arrive - always on skis - to the Pralongià and descend to the Passo Campolongo until Arabba di Livinallongo del Col di Lana. From Arabba you reach the Pordoi Pass and our hotels with the ski lifts of the Sella Ronda. In summer, you can do the Freedom Tour by motorcycle too.
You can visit the museums of the Great War 1914-1918 and the "Forte Tre Sassi". In Lagazuoi you can visit the trenches digged in the heart of the mountain. The Freedom Tour leaves unforgettable impressions too.
