Selva Gardena, which derives from the Latin word ‘Silva,’ meaning forest, is nestled in the picturesque Dolomite landscape, amidst the peaks of Sassolungo, Puez, and the Sella Group. It is one of the most sought-after destinations for both winter and summer vacations, with an altitude of over 1500 meters.

Located in the heart of the ‘Sella Ronda’ ski carousel, Selva offers kilometers of snow-covered slopes for thrilling descents, ice skating, sledding, snowshoeing, ski mountaineering, and ice climbing. In the summer, Selva is known for its endless mountain trails, where you can spend hours in contact with nature, enjoying sunny walks and daring hikes, breathtaking via ferratas, adventurous Nordic walking paths, and mountain biking trails.

Here in the Dolomites, the universe showcases the exceptional beauty of the region in every season, offering an excellent array of art and culture.

Among the treasures of the valley is Castel Gardena, located between Selva and Santa Cristina. It boasts a Renaissance style that conceals a medieval heritage, enriched by its current owners, the Franchetti barons.

Selva di Val Gardena is a beloved destination for mountain biking enthusiasts who enjoy high-speed descents and aren’t afraid of steep climbs.

The Hero Südtirol Dolomites is one of the most challenging MTB events in the industry and is a must for all enthusiasts.

In winter, Selva di Val Gardena belongs to skiers, snowboarders, and sledders.”

Then, there are other sports facilities like the Pranives ice stadium, riding schools, an indoor tennis court with billiards and bowling, a golf practice range, and a climbing gym in the town center.
