Alpe di Siusi

Italy · South Tyrol · 1,227m - 2,220m · 73 km of pistes · 22 lifts · Dolomiti Superski

Summary

Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm) is Europe’s largest alpine plateau and one of the 12 areas within Dolomiti Superski. With 73 km of pistes between 1,227m and 2,220m served by 22 lifts, it is the family destination par excellence in the Dolomites: 93% of pistes are easy or intermediate (24 km easy + 46 km intermediate, only 3 km difficult).

The landscape is extraordinary: a rolling plateau at 1,800–2,000m altitude with panoramic views of Sassolungo, Sciliar and the Odle. Directly connected to Val Gardena via lifts and a shared lift pass.
