About the Resort
About Alpe Di Siusi
Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm) is a breathtakingly beautiful plateau nestled in the Italian Dolomites, renowned as Europe's largest high-altitude alpine meadow. Set against the dramatic, jagged peaks of the Sassolungo, Sassopiatto, and Sciliar mountains, the resort offers a uniquely tranquil and scenic winter experience. Unlike the steep, narrow valleys typical of other alpine resorts, Alpe di Siusi presents a vast, rolling landscape bathed in winter sunshine.
The Resort
The resort is a haven for families, beginners, and those who appreciate a relaxed pace of skiing. The local villages, ranging from the valley towns of Ortisei and Siusi allo Sciliar to the high-plateau outposts of Compatsch and Saltria, maintain a traditional South Tyrolean charm. Here, Italian dolce vita blends seamlessly with Austrian alpine traditions, reflected in both the architecture and the exceptional mountain gastronomy.
While hardcore experts might find the local slopes too gentle, Alpe di Siusi is perfectly integrated into the Val Gardena ski area and the massive Dolomiti Superski network. This allows more ambitious skiers to easily access the famous Sella Ronda circuit and hundreds of kilometers of world-class terrain, all while retaining the peaceful, uncrowded sanctuary of the Alm as their home base.
