- Welcome to the Sunnyside of the Val Gardena.
It's Tuesday 7th December 2021, 3 days after the reopening of skiing and this is the Fermeda piste but most people call it Seceda.
We’re following Louise who is taking the lead followed by Derek, both ski leaders with Inspired ITALY - inspireditaly.com/ - down this 6km slope with around 1,000m vertical. It's classified red and blue and finishes just above Santa Cristina at 1,500m ASL which is the middle village of Val Gardena. www.gardenissima.eu/en/home.html
This run is beautiful!
Late in the season, this piste plays host to the worlds longest giant slalom race called Gardenissima. I’ll put a link in the description below.

amazing environment, great skiing technique and great comments. I really want to go to Dolomites! Thank you for your videos, truly a gem.
Skied the Dolomites many years ago. Fabulous skiing and stunning scenery😊
Come back and ski with us! It's even better now!
Simply amazing
It's so likeable that you wanted to stop when the girl fell. Since she laughed, it's definitely okay to continue driving
We always stop. All our ski leaders are first aid qualified!
Been here all day with lovely weather. With access to all the other parts of sella Ronda, i decide to Stay here because the slopes are wide and not that crowded and its a great area to make progress even if you are a pro. Plus the sun shines here all day and the sunset is amazing!!! And its a good way to finish the day on La Longia.
Ciao Alex, great to hear that you are here. And the fresh snow today means great skiing tomorrow and beyond! Have fun!
Hi Alex, it is great to know that you love the slopes as much as we do! Have a fund time and Tim is right - the fresh snow means some wonderful skiing!
I really like your explanation of the route! This helps me to understand the condition and enjoy the video much more! Signed up!
Thank you
I can't wait to be there after one year of forced stop!
We already booked this year, but next year for sure
We look forward to seeing you here!
Already booked for 10 in France. Dolomites for me next time. I will take a look at inspired Italy. Thanks. Going to be looking at all your videos, I don’t know anything about the Dolomites. Done Cervina and Gressoney. Love Italy
Ciao El, I'll make you a promise ... once you have skied the Dolomites you will find it difficult to go anywhere else!
@@InspiredITALY Hi We might be skiing them sooner than planned, What area would you recommend for a first trip to the Dolomites please. Thanks
i suppose it’s a bit of a journey from val gardena but have you tried “ le cinque torri”? it’s close to lagazuoi to the east of san cassiano, it has one of my favorite slopes and i think anyone would love it
We ❤️ 5 Torri and the new bubble that links with Tofana makes it even more appealing. My favourite run is from Rif Averau down to Bai da Dones.
Looks lovely. Really like my wide pistes . How does Italy compare with France for costs
We haven't skied in France for years and years...why would we☺️! But our guests often comment on the great value they get here on the Dolomites.
With Things changing in France. What area would you recommend on the stellar please…thanks
That entirely depends upon your prefered style of skiing. The Sella Ronda is easy to ski. A good intermediate skier should take around 3h to 4h. Arabba offers more challenging skiing. Alta Badia rolling skiing. Val Gardena and Alpe di Siusi has a variety of skiing. Canazei provides good access to the Sella Ronda and a few outlying areas that we love - Carezza, Passo San Pellegrino, Vigo and Luisa for example. Most people would go to Corvara or Colfosco. Me, I would go to Pozza di Fassa but that's because I know where I am going. Please feel free to visit our website and message us if you'd like to chat.
@@InspiredITALY thanks for replying so quickly. I have organised a group of 10 mixed ability skiers, we where going to france, but now trying to come up with an alternative. I was planning to do the Dolomites next year, last year I was in Gressoney doing an off piste course and did a days heli skiing, but I’m not interested in doing like that but would love the option to do some off piste within the resort. Ideally I’d like to be centrally located, Where would you suggest
@@Adywebb123 Centrally located: Corvara, Colfosco or San Cassiano. Selva Gardena is a great favourite with the Brits too. 2nd choice: Arabba, Canazei or La Villa.
Hello , great video! i'm torn on where to base myself for a week of skiing in the Dolomites, Feb 25 to March 4, 2022. Arabba or Val Gardena or Alta Badia or Cortina d'Ampezzo??
I'm an advanced beginner looking to take ski lessons & improve my skills. Travelling alone, on a mid-range €300/ day budget (hotel + ski pass/ lessons/ rentals) & would like to pick a ski town that's centrally located. Your help is highly appreciated!
I'm looking to do the same in a couple of weeks. Would you happen to have any recommendations?
Hi Anthony, given the current conditions, I'd probably go with Arabba.
@@InspiredITALY Thank you for the fast reply! I'm hoping a random snow storm comes through like it did in Colorado recently. If not, we'll make the best of it!
i’ve been to all these places, i can tell you val gardena and cortina are probably the most popular places, the villages are also bigger than the others, very touristic. but if you’re looking for the best skiing place i’d say arabba, beautiful, anyway you can access all the places you mentioned from all the places you mentioned, that’s what’s special in italy
Is this from this season?
Hi Mohammed yes, 2 days ago
@@louiseanderton6748 sweet! Headed there in February, can't wait!
@@wisemanwoz Look out for the Ski Safari Red Back Packs
@@louiseanderton6748 Haha will do! :)
What is this run called?
Well, depends who you ask! Fermeda or Seceda. Hope that helps!
Looks beautiful! Which is best airport to fly to for skiing in Val Gardena? Thanks for advice
Hi Susan, not sure how I missed this comment - sorry! Innsbruck! From there you can take a private taxi, take the bus the short ride to the station and take the train to Ponte Gardena, then either take the bus or a taxi.
When are you planning on being here?
Happy to help further if we can My@Inspireditlay.com
@@InspiredITALY thanks for reply.
I wld be flying from Ireland, but no flights to Innsbruck from my nearest airport, only Salzburg. Anyway I thought maybe I'd have to fly to some airport in Italy to get to Val Gardena. We've been to Zell am See for skiing a couple of times, but never in Italy yet, at least not for skiing. Just not sure how to get there. One of my sons is living in Vienna. He might join from there. End of Feb wld be nice. Living in hope , 🙂

Take a look at this piece on our website and scroll down to the airports and trains paragraphs.
Hope that is of help!
@@InspiredITALY 👍
@Susan Venice or Verona are pretty close.
Nice! But one advise: if you follow someone, try to follow his turns and rhythm, otherwise it looks like a pendulum in front of eyes ... :)
I hear you Ivo! Easier said than done and keeping close enough to make it meaningful!
your voice is kinda overshadowed by the music
I'll speak up next time! Still experimenting with the audio. So difficult to get right!
Annoying music! 🤔
Let us know what music you'd like and we'll do our best!
@@InspiredITALY Adding music to a video so no one can hear your comments is stupid. Skip the music and let us hear the skies against the snow instead! 😀👍
@@chrisman686 Thanks for sharing your opinion!
