The Ladins have always called it "Sella", since the time when there were a few mud tracks and no ski-lifts. It was the circuit on skis around this massif in the Dolomites, the Sella, across the four passes, which the Ladins used in order to keep in contact with the other inhabitants in the area. Nowadays the name still means the circuit around the Sella massif but it has also come to indicate what amounts to a sort of merry-go-round for skiers, the only one of its kind, a series of ski-lifts and downhill runs, all linked to one another and set against a background of woods, rocky peaks and expanses of snow that is no exaggeration to call extraordinary. Joining the skiing circuit is easy: just follow the roads that take you to one of the four villages around the Sella mountain: Selva di Val Gardena, Corvara, Canazei, Arabba. The length of the circuit, including both, ski lifts and ski runs, is a little less than 40 km and it is an easy route to ski along.
Cortina D’Ampezzo

9.02.2012 (Day ticket Euro 44,00)

In 1956, the first televised Winter Olympic Games were held in Cortina d'Ampezzo. This is also where the “Pink Panther” movies were filmed, as well as several scenes of the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only." The ski tour will take you along the paths of great Olympic athletes, with an unforgettable panoramic view of the famed Dolomites and with unrivalled skiing pleasure down the best slopes (Ravalles and the ladies' slope of Cannellone).
