The Hotel Rodella's has a stunning location on the outskirts of Selva, with amazing views over the valley and mountains. The Planker family have run the hotel for generations and are extremely welcoming and informative. Get chatting and if you're lucky you may get to join one of their weekly wine tastings in the cellar!

Idyllic location

Set on a hill on the outskirts of Selva, the hotel enjoys a peaceful location with incredible views of the Val Gardena - look out for the Sella massif to the east, the spectacular Sassolungo to the south and the Pic to the north.

The centre of town is about a kilometre away but there are plenty of options available to get you there and back. Jump on the hotel's free shuttle to and from the lifts or use the free local bus which runs every half an hour at peak times. If the conditions are good, you can even ski straight to the Santa Cristina lift.

Fabulous food and drink

The real star of the show is the food. The hotel have been awarded the ‘Gambero Rosso award’ for exceptional Italian food and wine. A varied breakfast buffet is served each day with hot and cold options available.

Dinner is served in the lovely dining area, where you can enjoy a four course meal and each week you can taste some Tyrolean specialities with local cheeses and wine. Take in the incredible mountain views with a drink or two at the hotel bar - it is the ideal spot to enjoy an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap. 

Soothing spa and relaxation

The rest of the hotel is special too. The bedrooms are furnished in a modern Tyrolean style, and benefit from having a balcony with mountain views, so you can watch the world go by from the comfort of your room. 

Take a moment to enjoy the spa and wellness area. Take a dip in the panoramic indoor pool, and enjoy views of the village, relax in the jacuzzies, unwind in the sauna or steam room, or soak up the winter sun on the terrace. Massages and treatments are available for a local fee.

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 1200 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.
