Location and surroundings
Kastelruth
Kastelruth, or Castelrotto in Italian, is an authentic, small, and picturesque village in the heart of South Tyrol in Italy. It is a charming destination without a ski area right on its doorstep. The village’s traditional churches are certainly worth a visit.
Via the gondola in Seis am Schlern, you can easily reach the family-friendly Seiser Alm ski area, located just a few minutes from Kastelruth. This ski area offers a total of 60 kilometers of slopes. At an altitude of 1,825 meters, it is also an ideal destination for cross-country skiers who appreciate peace, authenticity, and nature.
As Kastelruth itself is not a ski resort, there is no après-ski scene here. Instead, you will find excellent restaurants serving delicious local specialties and wines. With breathtaking views of the Italian Dolomites, Kastelruth is the perfect destination for those who love charming, small villages and are seeking tranquility.
Seiser Alm
The Seiser Alm ski area, or Alpe di Siusi in Italian, is located in South Tyrol and is the largest alpine meadow in Europe. Nestled among the mountains at an altitude of 1,825 meters, it offers a sheltered ski area with approximately 60 km of varied slopes and one of the best snow parks in South Tyrol. The area features mainly wide blue and gentle red runs, as well as a few black runs and several fun parks. This makes Seiser Alm an excellent destination for beginners and families with children.
From Seis am Schlern, Seiser Alm can be reached in just 15 minutes by gondola lift. The highest point of the ski area lies at an altitude of 2,220 meters. Seiser Alm is connected to Val Gardena by bus, although the bus ride from Saltria to Monte Pana requires an additional fee. From here, you can access the more challenging slopes of Val Gardena.
The slopes, cross-country ski trails, and winter hiking paths on Seiser Alm offer spectacular views of the Dolomite peaks. Approximately 80 km of cross-country trails are available across the area. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking, with around 30 km of cleared winter hiking trails, as well as routes for snowshoeing. A more relaxed way to experience Seiser Alm is by taking a horse-drawn sleigh ride.
