  • Mountain Christmas (runs throughout December)
  • Ski shows
  • Ski World Cup 
  • Rock the Dolomites
  • Sellaronda Ski marathon

For a bit of evening entertainment head down to the Tennis Bowling Bar and Restaurant. Enjoy a game or two of bowling, before grabbing a bite to eat at the pizzeria.

Tobogganing is fun for the whole family, and the 4.9 kilometre run at the top of the Rasciesa funicular in Ortisei won't disappoint. Head to the top and enjoy whizzing down the run to the mid-station where you can take the cable car back to the top and repeat the run.  Alternatively head over to Alpe d'Suisi where you can find four wonderful toboggan runs set against the magnificent Dolomite backdrop. The Florian and Panorama chairlifts and the Bullaccia cable car take you to the starting point of the toboggan runs.

Toboggans can be hired and returned at the valley station, and in the huts in Alpe d'Suisi. A valid lift pass is required to use the funiculars and cable cars.

The Pranives Arena is home of the Gherdeina Ice Hockey Club, and there are lots of games on throughout the winter with a fantastic atmosphere. Many of the locals show up to enthusiastically support their team during home games - even more so during the playoffs at the end of the season.

When there's not ice hockey games, you can visit the ice rink and swap your skis for a pair of skates and enjoy whizzing around the ice - you can rent the skates on-site for a fee. There is also a lovely pizzeria on site too. 

There's more than 140 kilometres of well-prepared cross-country ski runs in the Val Gardena.  Traverse through the snow-covered forests, pastures and enjoy the stunning alpine scenery surrounding you. The Vallunga area is the ideal spot for novices and experts alike, there's a range of trails varying from one to ten kilometres - the Vullunga is about a twenty minute walk from the centre of resort.  You can glide through Europe's highest alpine pasture on the extensive trails around Alpe di Siusi, with 80 kilometres of trails you wont be short of areas to explore - there's also plenty of photo opportunities in the area, with Sassolungo mountain overlooking the area. 

Explore the tranquil landscapes of Selva on a snowshoe hike through the forests, pastures and over the streams for rewarding panoramic views of the valley. 

The Hidden Valley is a must-do during your ski holiday in Selva, ski down the 7km run through the charming Fanes valley between jagged mountain faces and ice falls down towards Sas Dlacia, from here you'll be towed along by horses to the Armentarola ski lift.
