Siusi

One of the most beautiful ski locations we've ever seen with magnificent skiing and links to the huge Sella Ronda.

No, we hadn't heard of it either! Giovanni d Ambrosio, our Italian Director, prides himself on digging out little known gems of almost wilful obscurity, and Siusi village, with its chalets, arches, cobbles, pastel paintwork, wall murals and extraordinary mountain backdrop, is quite simply one of the most gorgeous ski locations we have ever seen.

As a trade-off, we expected the skiing to be negligible, but no, it s great! A state-of-the-art gondola rises from the edge of the village into a fantastic ski area which is shared with much more famous Ortisei. You will find runs of every kind, on high, snow-sure slopes, with Dolomite views of humbling splendour. We are sure most people will be happy with the local skiing but access to the limitless Sella Ronda is only 2mins walk across Santa Christina village. It's included on your pass, so why not?

Siusi, Austrian until 1918, is a medieval village celebrated in poetry and song, and was once a home-from-home to the doomed European and Russian aristocracy. It's popular now with old-money tourists and new-rich ski fashionistas who want something different. There are plenty of civilised and pleasant places to eat, drink and shop.
