Cross-country skiing in Selva Val Gardena
The Vallunga offers a great landscape for cross-country skiers in the Natural Park Puez – Odle, just north-east of Selva Val Gardena. Only 15/20 minutes on foot from the parish church of Selva Val Gardena. You can park your car behind the training centre of the Carabinieri (parking place La Ciajota). In the near vicinity you will find the branch of the ski and cross-country school of Selva Val Gardena, which also serves as a meeting place and as a storage facility. A cross-country ski hire centre is also on site.
In the first, flat part of the Vallunga there are short cross-country slopes, identified by green and blue signs. Ideal for beginners. For experienced cross-country skiers there is a 5 km red training slope, which has also been approved for national cross-country races. If you're looking for a longer cross-country hike (black sign), the whole valley can be crossed on a 10 km itinerary until the “Pra da Rì“ field against the stunning backdrop of mountains.
