Where to in Dolomites??

Yes--For the Dolomites I can recommend both Selva and Madonna. I have been to both in the past few years. If you are an intermediate skier especially ---lots of cruising Blue & red runs to explore.

Sometimes the Snow record in the Dolomites is bit iffy, however they seem to have improved their snowmaking in recent years.

Hi,

Thanks for that )
Both Selva and Madonna along with Cortina are top of my Dolomites wish list at the moment.

Thanks Andy )
Have you skied there?

I prefer San Cassiano as a centre......and if you are looking for blue runs this gives you a wonderful long blue back at the end of the day, about 9km. We always self-cater as there are lots of good value apartments in San Cassiano. From here you can ski over towards Arabba or Corvara and Colfosco.....onwards and upwards and down over to Selva. If you're up for it ski the Sella Ronda in both directions, San Cassiano is a good setting out point for this expedition. Then there are all the wonderful runs over towards Pedraces or a trip to Lagazuoi with a wonderful ski back towards Armentarola.....with the final flat stretch being towed along with your fellow skiers holding a rope, pulled by a cart horse. Just the best place to ski in the world and with the best mountain restaurants.....food like "mama used to make it!!"
Just as an after thought one problem with La Villa is that you do get some pretty big queues at the bubbles there with everyone from there and Badia area + all those who have skied the fantastic red or the black world cup run down to La Villa, trying to get back up into the main circuit.

Hi Tilloweb,

Thanks for some interesting info )
As La Villa is offered this year by one of the major ski operators it is an interesting option, pity about the
queues.
My OH would probably spend all day on blue runs over the hill in Corvara. As for me Arabba looks interesting :!:
We prefer HB to SC, probably too lazy, or is it tired :) :)So SC in San Cassiano is not for us ATM.

Kind regards,

We stayed in Canazei which wasn't bad, some good skiing and fairly good links to the circuit. But the best runs were in Selva and Arabba. Selva being better for the intermediates.
I loved Selva, the highlight being the Saslong downhill, awesome!

I would definitely go for Selva which has a range of half board accomodation options for you to choose from. From here you can access the Sella Ronda, Corvara/Colfosco, Canazei, Seceda, Alpe di Siusi, Alba and more. The ski schools are excellent if you need them and the apres ski varied. Everything for everybody!!

Thank you, Andy :thumbup:

There is a good choice of HB accommodation in Selva so hopefully we go there this January. If we are very lucky we might be able to re-visit Dolomites later on in the season :!:
