Val Gardena, Selva & Ortisei

Val Gardena is the classic Dolomites valley, with Ortisei and Selva at its heart. The star walk is the Seceda ridge - reached by gondola from Ortisei, the Odle massif on one side and Sassolungo on the other, and best at sunrise. Granvara Relais above Selva is a five-star base with big gardens, 360-degree views and a gourmet kitchen.
