The family run Hotel Somont benefits from having a great location, snap on your skis and cruise down the short blue run into Selva which gives you access to the wider Dolomites Ski Area, alternatively it is just a 300 metre walk to the centre where you can find a range of shops, bars and cafes.

The hotel also benefits from having a lovely spa area with an indoor pool and range of saunas.

Homely hotel

Loving run by the Rudiferia family, you'll be sure to receive a warm welcome - be sure to ask the team their recommendations of the best places to ski and have lunch on the slopes. Each room in the Somont is unique, furnished in a modern Alpine style with homely touches and cosy decor throughout.

Many of the rooms feature a balcony with a mountain view, so you can enjoy fabulous views of the Sassolungo and the nearby slopes. 

The food is something to look forward to, too. Fuel up for a day on the mountain at the varied breakfast buffet, and enjoy a delicious evening meal when you return. Each evening you can enjoy a three-course menu featuring fresh ingredients from the South Tyrol. To go with your meal, enjoy a bottle of local wine - the staff will be happy to make recommendations.

Ski in, ski out

The charming hotel benefits from having a piste side location, start your day by heading down the short Freina piste down into the center of Selva and take your pick between heading up the Costabella chairlift for access to Alta Badia including Covara & Colfosco, and La Villa and or head up the Ciampinoi gondola for access to Ortisei, Alpe d'Suisi and Val di Fassa.

You are also just a short walk from the center of Selva Val Gardena, where you can find plenty of lively bars, a range of shops and the ice rink. 

Soothing spa and relaxation

After a day of alpine adventures, return back to the hotel and enjoy a moment of peace in the spa area. Featuring an indoor pool heated to a lovely 31 degrees, a jacuzzi, and a variety of different saunas - relax in the Finnish sauna, soothe any aches in the infrared sauna or unwind in the Turkish steam bath. There is also a range of relaxation areas throughout the wellness area too.

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.
