About the area
Seiser Alm in the Dolomites maps out about 60 km of piste, with 36 km red, 21 km blue and only 3 km black - roughly 35% easy and 5% hard. That mix makes it a strong choice for beginners and for families: there are 4 magic carpets, 23 nursery runs and two gondolas for easy uphill travel. Experts will find little to hold them, with just 3 km of black terrain and a maximum vertical of 756 m in one go.
The area runs from 1221 m to 2220 m and is served by 27 lifts, including 15 chairs and 5 platters; the longest run measures 4594 m. Ortisei is the ski-in/ski-out base, 268 m from the lift at 1290 m; Siusi allo Sciliar is a 394 m walk, while Selva di Val Gardena needs a skibus over 6640 m. There are 9 km of cross-country trails. The 2026/27 season runs 4 December to 4 April, and the pass covers Dolomiti Superski, quoted officially at 181 km and 79 lifts.
