Description

The wide-spread district covers resorts such as Pfuels, Runggaditsch, Seis am Schlern, Seiser Alm, St. Michael, St. Oswald, St. Valentin, St. Vigil, Tagusens, Tisens and Sureghes, whereby the Seiser Alm stretches over nearly the entire district. Kastelruth attracts its guests with a rich selection of gastronomy, respectable night-life and a lovely, picturesque resort centre. Even with all the frequent tourism, the resort has still maintained its original village charm. The area around Kastelruth can be explored on a wide-spread net of cross-country ski trails and winter hiking tracks or also on a snowshoe hike. A dominant eye-catcher is the rock formation at the Santnerspitze (2,414 m) and the famous Schlern (2,565 m). The snow-sure and family-friendly ski area Seiser Alm offers 60 km of piste and, as the largest high-altitude mountain pasture in Europe, mainly blue and light red pistes. Beginners and leisurely skiers will enjoy the wide runs at the Laurin and Florian lifts, whereas more the adventurous will enjoy the slalom and speed stretches. The black slalom slope at Puflatsch is the most difficult run and offers an altitude difference of 250 m - a must for cracks! The snow park at Seiser Alm including kickers, rails and boxes also provides all sorts of fun. The connection to Groden via St. Ulrich offers even more variety. With an upgrade to the Dolomiti Superskipass, you can use a total of 1,200 km of piste in 12 ski areas, including the Sella Ronda, the spectacular day circuit around the Sella Massif with ski and lift! While you can quench your thirst and quiet your hunger in numerous lodges and snack stations, bars, discos and a number of restaurants invite you in during the evening. If you'd like an non-skiing alternative during the day, you can head to the historical village centre in Kastelruth, to go shopping for instance. The church tower offers a breathtaking view at a height of 88 m. The off-piste activities are very diverse. For example, you have the opportunity to take a winter hike or glide through the fairy-tale snow scenery with a horse-drawn sleigh. The snow-covered Seiser Alm offers its guests cross-country tracks with a total length of 80 km. On the varied stretches you can constantly enjoy a fabulous panorama of the Dolomites. The wide-reaching trail network, partially with challenging inclines and runs, is also a favourite stop for national teams. The longest and simultaneously most difficult stretch is the 15 km long high-altitude Joch trail, which is only suitable for very well-conditioned skiers. A charge for the the use of the trails at the Seiser Alm needs to be compounded. You will receive the day and week tickets locally. Those who need more choice, have to be told that the trails of the famous Seiser Alm are part of the cross-country ski carousel Dolomiti Nordicski, which offer you legendary 1,300 km of trails, as the biggest cross-country ski area in Europe.
