WS Days in Ortisei

March 18 - 20, 2025

After our trip to Switzerland last year, we would like to invite you this time to the beautiful Val Gardena in the South Tyrolean Dolomites. Let yourself be inspired by the combination of inspiring lectures and workshops, unforgettable ski tours, and South Tyrolean hospitality.

  To make the booking process as easy as possible for you, this year you can book your accommodation and ski pass directly via our online store. We have also responded to the request for more choice of accommodation and therefore offer you three different hotel categories when booking. We are sure to have just the right thing for you.

A day of skiing together amidst the impressive Dolomites

Whether it's the challenging Sellaronda, leisurely descents, or spectacular panoramas – together with our host Leo Zambon, ski school director of the St. Ulrich Ski School, we have put together three different tours for our ski day.

⛷️Guides from the St. Ulrich Ski School will accompany us on these tours and ensure that you can enjoy the best slopes and views while gliding through this ski adventure safely and comfortably.

  • Ski School Director Leo recommends – Lagazuoi Tour: Embark on a fascinating ski tour through the impressive mountain world of the Dolomites. From St. Ulrich, we will guide you over varied slopes with spectacular views of highlights such as the Grödner Joch, Alta Badia, and the legendary Lagazuoi. A special highlight: The ride on a horse-drawn sleigh will take you through the snow-covered landscape in an unforgettable way.
     
  • The Classic – Sellaronda Tour: Experience an unforgettable ski tour on the famous Sellaronda. From St. Ulrich, we will explore the breathtaking beauty of the Dolomites as you cross the four majestic passes around the Sella massif. This tour offers picturesque villages and impressive landscapes, including Seceda, Arabba, the Sellajoch, and Corvara.
     
  • Leisurely Skiing – Seiser Alm: Romantic silence, white mountains, and an atmosphere straight out of a fairytale – that's the Seiser Alm in winter. With 56 square kilometers, it is the largest high-altitude meadow in Europe. Here you will find breathtaking views of the Dolomites peaks Langkofel, Plattkofel, and Schlern. Enjoy a relaxing day with fantastic descents and delicious local specialties.
