freshly prepared runs down to the

famous Sella Ronda with exciting
variations.
Good skiers can enjoy steep off piste
descents from the Sella plateau

narrow Val Setus and Val Vules, from
the Piz Boè (3150m) to Corvara, the
incredibly steep Holzer gap.

We continue our journey on skis and
get to the foot of the Marmolada. If
the weather conditions allow it, we
go up to the top of the Marmolada
(3250m) by funicular. A special
treat is waiting for us at this magnificent
viewpoint: the descent of
14 kilometres with a difference in
altitude of 1800 meters is one of
the most beautiful runs in the whole
Dolomites area! The wide slopes on
the northern face of the Marmolada
offer some exciting descents for off

Skiing from the door we will explore
the world famous resort of Cortina,
site of the 1956 Olympics and part
of the annual World Cup ski racing
circuit. Cortina is famous for the
awe-inspring scenery and we find
ourselves skiing long perfectly
groomed runs under the shadow of
such majestic peaks as the Tofana,
2650m, Cristallo, 3010m, and
Faloria, 2450m. All of these hide
wonderful off piste valleys for the
adventurous to explore with their
guides.
After the ski day we visit the town
of Cortina with its fabulous shops
and cosy coffee bars.
7th DAY: ALTA BADIA - VAL GARDENA
Once again an early start means the
runs are ours, at least for the first
half hour! Today takes us through
the Val Gardena to ski the famous
World Cup. downhill course to St
Christina, across the valley and up
to the Seceda at 2520m. Then there
is the picturesque 1300v.m. run
down to Ortisei where we cross the
valley once again to take the cable
car to the Alpi di Siusi. Those who
feel they still need more off piste
have the alternative of climbing up
Shute of the Sasso Piatto (45Min) for
a final off piste thrill through deep
snow down to meet us on the Alpi di
Siusi.
Our last turns of the week take us to
yet another welcoming mountain bar
where, over glasses of wine, we can
savour the sunset and make plans
for the next ski adventure!
