About this venue

Val Gardena/Groden is a ski area that feels like a full Alpine “amphitheatre” — a connected network of pistes, lifts, and panoramic viewpoints in the heart of the Dolomites, valued for its broad terrain choice and sense of space on snow. Its importance isn’t just in kilometres of runs, but in how it links the valley’s key zones into one coherent ski experience, equally suited to relaxed cruising and more dynamic lines.

On the slopes, the experience is distinctly premium: well-groomed pistes, clear wayfinding, and services that match the pace of the day — from a quick bite and a hot drink to comfortable spots for a break with a view. What visitors particularly appreciate is the resort’s rhythm: it’s easy to combine short laps with longer routes without feeling like you’re constantly losing time to transfers.

For arrival and access to the main starting points, use Streda/Strada Ruacia 26, 39048 Selva di Val Gardena (St. Christina), Ortisei, Italy as your reference. Right by the entry points to the ski zone you’ll typically find organised drop-off and parking access, and often local stops on the main approaches — close enough to handle gear and entry without stress.

About the city: Ortisei

Ortisei (St. Ulrich/Urtijëi), the picturesque heart of Val Gardena in the Dolomites, is not only a mountain getaway but also a stylish base for sports and live entertainment across the region. The vibe is both relaxed and energetic: pedestrian streets, cafés, and restaurants fill with visitors who want to pair an event experience with genuine Alpine character. Known for its neat layout, high service standards, and a wide range of accommodation—from boutique stays in the center to practical options nearby—Ortisei works equally well for quick breaks and longer trips.

Despite its Alpine setting, Ortisei relies on a highly practical transport network. Local buses and regional routes, with trip planning via südtirolmobil, make it easy to move between villages in the valley and reach key points. Train arrivals typically connect through hubs such as Bolzano/Bozen, Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck, Chiusa/Klausen, or Bressanone/Brixen, followed by a bus into Val Gardena (for example, line 350). Air access is also convenient thanks to nearby airports like Bolzano, Innsbruck, or Verona, and within Ortisei the cable cars play a major role: Funivia Seceda and Cabinovia 2S Ortisei – Alpe di Siusi (Mont Sëuc) take you quickly to panoramic areas and trail gateways—perfect when you want to plan the day around event timing.

As a travel “bonus”, Ortisei is made for easy exploring before or after a concert or match. The highlight is the pedestrian zone around Piazza Sant’Antonio, where shopping, coffee breaks, and a relaxed stroll naturally blend with views of the dramatic Dolomite peaks. Just a few steps away you’ll find quieter corners, churches, and the traditional woodcarving heritage for which Val Gardena is widely known, so even a short walk can feel like a rewarding mini-excursion.

Use Ortisei as a smart starting point: begin the day calmly in the center, travel reliably to venues and sports locations in the valley or elsewhere in South Tyrol, and return in the evening to an atmosphere that feels safe, well-organized, and full of character. That mix of Alpine scenery and strong connectivity is exactly what makes Ortisei a great choice for visitors who want more than just the event itself.
