Selva di Val Gardena, Italy

Selva di Val Gardena Italy

In South Tyrol’s Bolzano province, between 1,236 and 2,518 m, lies Selva di Val Gardena (Wolkenstein in Gröden), one of the most iconic alpine villages in the Dolomites. With about 2,600 inhabitants and direct access to the Dolomiti Superski area, Selva is a true gateway to the legendary Sellaronda circuit.

In winter, Selva is a paradise for snow sports. The Val Gardena ski area offers 181 km of slopes of all levels, from beginner-friendly runs to challenging World Cup trails such as Saslong. Snowparks, freeride areas and award-winning ski schools add to the experience, while alpine huts, après-ski venues and gourmet restaurants ensure refinement and conviviality.

In summer, Selva becomes a vibrant destination for hiking, trekking, cycling and climbing. Trails lead to panoramic peaks such as Sassolungo and Sella, while the Dolomiti Bike Galaxy attracts MTB and e-bike enthusiasts. Families enjoy adventure parks, child-friendly activities and wellness retreats, turning the valley into a year-round haven.

Selva also preserves Ladin culture and traditions, with local festivals, crafts and museums showcasing alpine heritage. Gastronomy blends alpine flavors with Italian refinement: speck, cheeses, polenta and fine wines enrich every stay.

Easily accessible from Bolzano, Innsbruck and Verona, Selva di Val Gardena is a cosmopolitan meeting point for travelers worldwide.
