Hotel Pralong is a real gem, especially for couples as the hotel does not cater towards group bookings. It's located opposite the slopes at the top of Selva with spectacular views over the mountains and forests. What sets it apart from others is its owners, the Denicolo family.

Not only do they provide a high standard of service and create a warm and friendly atmosphere, they have a real passion for the mountains and skiing. One of the family has even competed in the Ski World Championships. Be sure to ask for their recommendations of the best slopes in the Dolomites.

Alpine style

The family have put a lot of effort into the attention to detail, design and decorations of the hotel. Nature plays a part in all of this, which can be seen throughout the property with candles surrounded by fur cones in the bar area, beautiful embroidered cushions in the dining room and flowers in reception.

The hotel offers a cosy retreat for your next Italian ski holiday - each of the rooms are furnished in a Tyrolean style with wood and cosy furnishings, plus they are equipped with everything needed for a comfortable week in the Dolomites including internet access and a TV. 

Relax and unwind

The centre of town is roughly 800 metres away but you can catch the local bus - the nearest bus stop is just a short walk from the hotel. The hotel benefits from being close to the slopes so you can easily get on and off the renowned Sellaronda ski circuit each day.  When you return for the day, you can relax in the small wellness area and enjoy the Finnish sauna and Turkish bath.

Each evening a warming four course meal is served in the cosy restaurant, with the menu featuring Ladin specialities. The bar area is the ideal spot to catch up with friends and family, have an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap before heading to bed - be sure to try the local grappa.

Combining the best of Italian and South Tyrolean traditions, Selva is the ideal destination for a unique ski holiday experience. The picturesque resort is surrounded by the impressive mountain peaks of the Gardena Valley. Staying in Selva gives you convenient access to the Dolomiti Superski area - the largest lift linked ski area in Europe, and with over 1200 kilometres of slopes in the whole area, you won't be short of areas to explore.

Skiing and snowboarding in Selva

If you have a Dolomiti Superski lift pass you have access to twelve different ski areas and over 1000 kilometres of slopes. Each day is a new adventure, explore the local area of the Val Gardena, venture towards the surrounding areas of Alta Badia, Val di Fassa and Arabba on the Sella Ronda ski circuit or venture to the highest point in the Dolomites, the Marmolada Glacier. Whether you are just starting out or have been skiing for years,  there truly a piste for everyone in Selva.

Where to stay in Selva

We offer a range of accommodation in Selva, all with great access to the extensive Dolomiti Ski Area, you're spoilt for choice. 

The Chalet Soldanella offers an authentic chalet experience in a great location. The resort centre and slopes are just a short walk from the chalet, and you can enjoy six days of catering and tasty afternoon treats when you return from a day on the slopes. 

Hotel Mignon is a lovely family run hotel on the edge of town, there's a free shuttle service which runs between the lifts, so getting onto the mountain couldn't be easier. 

If you want to be the first and last on the slopes, the Hotel Somont or the Hotel Pozzamanigoni both have ski in, ski out access. 

Bars and restaurants in Selva

There are plenty of cafes and restaurants in Selva serving tasty Tyrolean specialities, as well as classic Italian cuisine.  When you get onto the slopes, you can find a cosy mountain hut on almost every slope, many of them are also serving tasty Tyrolean dishes, but you can also find pizzas, pastas, fish specialities and grilled meats. Be sure to stop for a warming Bombardino or hot chocolate on your way back to resort - the Panorama Hut on the Dantercepies slope is a fantastic spot to watch the sun set over the Dolomiti peaks. 

If you are looking for a spot for some après-ski, there are a few options to choose from. Luiskeller is one of the best known après-ski bars in the Val Gardena, and everyone who has visited Selva has probably partied in the basement bar at least once. Leave your skis at the nearby ski depot and dance the night away.  If you are looking for somewhere with a more relaxed vibe, La Stua has a fantastic location at the foot of the slopes. Many of the other bars in resort have a more relaxed vibe, where you can enjoy a beer or an Aperol Spritz with friends and family.
