A cold wind from the high crags meets the car as you crest the pass — the road unfurls in a series of hairpin turns and the Sella Group rises in vertical slabs ahead. Your day begins with a modern gondola lift to 1,830 m, where a 2.5 km toboggan run waits, lit for night descents and topped by an artificial-snow system that keeps the line open when winter slackens.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

A cold wind from the high crags meets the car as you crest the pass — the road unfurls in a series of hairpin turns and the Sella Group rises in vertical slabs ahead. Your day begins with a modern gondola lift to 1,830 m, where a 2.5 km toboggan run waits, lit for night descents and topped by an artificial-snow system that keeps the line open when winter slackens.
This loop through the western Dolomites threads geology and history together: pale dolostone walls carved by ancient seas now glitter with vertical faces; the Great Dolomites Road (Grande Strada delle Dolomiti) was built to connect mountain communities and today showcases valleys like Fassa and Gardena, with the Costalunga Pass and the Grand Hotel Carezza — opened in 1893 — as cultural waypoints. Carezza Lake offers a thirty-minute stroll on emerald water, while Sella Pass puts the Marmolada glacier (3,343 m) and Sassolungo (3,181 m) squarely in view.
Practically, the tour is private, roughly 6–7 hours door-to-door from Bolzano, and beginner-friendly: the toboggan descent drops about 280 m in elevation and is graded simple — suitable for children and adults with basic mobility. Expect short walks, photo stops, and a lunch break in Ortisei.
Plan layers for sharp alpine sun and sudden wind, bring waterproof shoes for snow-side walking, and allow extra time for photography. The route favors clear-weather panoramas; if clouds roll in the cliffs recede into brooding shapes, still dramatic but with reduced distant visibility.
