From Munich, it is just a 3.5 hour drive to Gröden (it. Val Gardena), one of Italy's largest skiing location in the dolomite alps. We went there with a couple with whom we are friends. We stayed in Wolkenstein (it. Selva) in a guesthouse close by the Saslong FIZ slope. Gröden is part of the Dolomiti Superski region, whose main attraction is to circumnavigate the Gruppo del Sella mountain. The "Sellaronda", as this tour is called, is about 40km long, takes about 6 hours and can be done clockwise or counter-clockwise. We did both directions on two days. Besides excellent skiing, the craggy and sandstone-colored peaks of the dolomite alps are quite unique and provided a fascinating backdrop for our skiing adventures.
