How to ski in Ortisei
Beginners and families will find their slopes close to the valley station in Ortisei, where the terrain is flat and easy to read before you head higher up. From here the lift system takes you on up towards the high plateau at Seceda, an area of open, sun-drenched slopes that suits anyone wanting to keep practising without immediately running into steep sections.
The more demanding pistes lie higher up towards the ridge, where the terrain becomes steeper and more varied. With 30 per cent red and 10 per cent black pistes out of a total of 175 km, there are plenty of challenges for those who have mastered the easier sections, but blue runs dominate with 40 per cent of the network, making Ortisei an area where most abilities can get around with confidence.
The 81 lifts tie the valley station to the heights in a way that makes it possible to move between different parts of the ski area within a single day. Anyone wanting to see more of the region can also head on into Dolomiti Superski, where a full 1 200 km of pistes are linked by lifts and ski buses, opening up long days out without having to ski the same run twice.
The difference in altitude between the village at 1 236 metres and the top at 2 518 metres gives a vertical drop of 1 282 metres, and that is clearly reflected in the snow quality. The higher sections at Seceda often hold better snow later into the season thanks to the altitude, while the pistes closest to the village can feel softer in the middle of the day once the sun has warmed the lower slopes.
