Sella Ronda is a wonderful tour where you are skiing
around the Sella mountain during a day. During this tour you are passing
Canazei, Arabba, Alta Badia and Val Gardena.
Based on the weather forecast we decided to do our Sella
Ronda on a Tuesday. We arranged with the transport from Predazzo and
they should pick us at 8 am.
The morning had a thin layer of clouds, but we could see the sun, so we
went of to Campitello, which was our start and finish.
Reaching the starting point, we got a great view of
Sella. Unfortunately we did not have any sun yet, but what a mountain!
There are two directions, the orange which is clockwise and the green one that
is the opposite. We took the green one. The length of them are more and
less the same, but the green one is a little bit easier.
The information says that the lifts will take 2 hours and the skiing
time is between 1 and 1,5 hours. To these times you need to add the
beaks and all lift ques. Saturday says being the best day for making
Sella Ronda , due to that this is the changing day for the hotels. If the
weather has been bad for some days, you should prepare yourself for
longer ques and if you can you should wait one day more.
The tour are well marked with the green and orange
directions. If you are skiing in a larger team, make a stop at every
split of the slope, to secure that all of you are taking the right
direction.
We started with a long nice slope down to the Canazei
system before we continued towards Arabba/Marmolada. On the opposite
side of the slope we could the long lift that took the “orange” skiers
in the opposite direction.
We were surprised about the quality of the slopes around
Sella. Some of them are of course more of transport slopes, but most of
them were good and long slopes which we enjoyed.
The lift stations are also well marked with the Sella
Ronda information.
As we mentioned before we were suprised about the good
skiing...
...and the long slopes.
At some places we neeeded to pass the main road in the
villages by foot. Here in Val Gardena the slope took us through the
houses to the other side of the village. If the weather is warm you
probably need to prepare yourself for longer walking here in Val Gardena.
There are a lot of nice restaurants around the tour, but
you need to keep track on the time.
The recommendation is that you should have started to
pass the last pass at latest 3 pm...
...and there is a risk of disturbing activities.
We were back at the main lift down to Campitello at 4
pm, so plan for a long day. As you also can see the weather changed and
we had snow and hard wind during our last hour. Even if the weather
looks good, prepare yourself for the worst and bring your goggles.
In summary we recommend you to make this tour. It offered a lot of
enjoyable skiing and did also give us a taste of these four different
resorts.
