On a holiday in Ortisei, in the heart of Val Gardena, you'll discover the majestic peaks of the Dolomites, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.

As one of the main ski resorts in the Alps, Ortisei is a popular tourist attraction, even during the summer season, thanks to the many hiking, climbing and sports opportunities. With a wide selection of hotels and residences, holiday packages to Ortisei will provide the ideal accommodation for all tastes and requirements.

Ortisei is the perfect place for your summer and winter holidays in Val Gardena. Thanks to the ski lift, you can easily reach the skiing and hiking areas of Rasciesa, Seceda and Alpe di Siusi, which are part of the Dolomiti Superski resort. The complex offers a myriad of options for Alpine skiing beginners and experts. Forcella Mezdì, Forcella del Sassolungo and Forcella del Pordoi are a few examples of the daily high altitude excursions offering a view of the surrounding Dolomites. Apart from the long list of outdoor activities, which include paragliding, climbing, trekking and mountain bike excursions, Ortisei also offers a public swimming pool with sauna in the centre of town, a fitness centre and tennis courts with a climbing gym where you can work out in any weather.

Culture lovers can discover the history of Val Gardena at the Gherdëina Museum, which boasts a collection of antique wooden toys, a section dedicated to art and wooden sculptures, prehistoric archaeological relics and a remarkable collection of fossils found in the valley.

Just outside Ortisei is the must-see Puez-Odle Nature Park, which surrounds the Gruppo delle Odle, where a unique, almost fairytale landscape awaits you, with mountain fields and pastures, but also boulders and sediments typical of the Dolomites. Plan your next holiday in Ortisei and experience one of Italy's most distinctive mountain landscapes in person.
