Review on Val Gardena ski resort by Denis Kulibin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Val Gardena's great

This is a great place. I've been there two times already and I am definitely coming back.
It has everything you need in a ski resort: great trails, great location and nice places to take a break. The rooms are comfy, the staff is nice and very helpful. The prices are reasonable. And I also like the design and the atmosphere of the resort - it is just right for my taste.
There is just one small issue: the road might be a bit difficult for the people who are unfamiliar with the mountains, like my friends that I took with me for the last visit. But hey, this is a part of the experience :)
I've seen a few other resorts and I think that Val Gardena is one of the best. Go for the great views, comfortable accommodation and great trails.

The village of Val Gardena ski resort is situated at 1,236m and the peak elevation takes you up to 2,500m providing a 1,264m vertical drop.

Hi. I would like to update my review. This summer I was planning to visit the val gardena ski resort. The booking was successful. The staff were polite. They provided me with complete information on the service. They also spoke about the nearby attractions.

Lots of accommodation options, bars, restaurants, ski slopes of any difficulty level, shops with well-known clothing brands, beautiful nature, lots of positive impressions.

I've already been to those places.

Impressions, just unforgettable, I really miss those places and I recommend this ski resort to everyone.

It is a pity that because of my wife's health I had to choose the seaside.

The first historic via ferrata in the Dolomites was built in Val Gardena. The bold via ferrata, funded by the Pößneck section of the German Alpine Club and opened in 1912, runs from the Sella Pass along the rocky slope of Pizza Selva to the Sella Plateau. Today, Via Ferrata Mayusles is considered one of the best classic slopes and remains a difficult route for rock climbing in terms of its overall complexity.

In a few steps you will descend to the hut of Tony Demets. Impressive magnificent rocky landscapes around, surrounded by sheer walls of the Cinque Dita peaks and the Sassolungo massif.

This was followed by other via ferrata routes, which expanded the range of opportunities on the various mountain ranges around Val Gardena. Meanwhile, more than a hundred years have passed, and the popularity of walking on steel ropes is growing relentlessly. "I have met so many Via Ferrata enthusiasts that I must be behind them, within certain limits, of course, and if not underestimated," Reinhold Messner wrote in 1974 in his book Dolomites-Klettersteig.
