This summer season, Val Gardena will introduce “mountain rangers” to the valley.
Four Dolomites Rangers, who are tasked with protecting Val Gardena’s unique nature, will take turns to work across the valley’s locations to raise awareness on how to behave, give safety tips to hikers and cyclists, provide information about the paths, weather, and other relevant topics as well as monitoring illegal camping practices. Rangers can also perform first aid in the case of an emergency.
On Saturday 29 March top athletes will once again compete against ski legends and amateurs on the six-kilometre-long course for the 27th edition of the Südtirol Gardenissima.
The Südtirol Gardenissima is all about sport, competition, fun, emotions and challenges, as it is the longest giant slalom in the world.
Val Gardena, part of Italy’s famous Sellaronda ski circuit in The Dolomites, has a selection of events, parties and special offers to close out the 2022/23 season.
The ‘Rock the Dolomites’ music festival runs from 18-26 March 2023. The programme includes blues, rock ‘n’ roll, rock, pop, reggae, indie and funk.
New attractions and improvements await skiers and snowboarders visiting the Italian resort of Val Gardena this season. The area, which includes the villages of Ortisei, S. Cristina and Selva, has access to 500 km of slopes.
Keen runners and cyclists can choose between four events taking place in Val Gardena this summer.
The Italian resort, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has three main villages – Ortisei (1,236 m), Santa Cristina (1,428 m) and Selva di Val Gardena (1,563 m) – in the heart of the Dolomites. Between them they offer more than 600km of bike trails.
The Südtirol Gardenissima, which claims to be the most demanding Giant Slalom in the world, is back. It returns to the slopes for the 24th time, along with the Gardenissima Kids race, on 2 and 3 April 2022.
