Ski Holidays in the Dolomites

The Dolomites offer some of the most spectacular skiing in Italy, with dramatic UNESCO-listed peaks, traditional mountain towns and hundreds of kilometres of beautifully prepared pistes. Our Dolomites ski holidays from Ireland cover two distinct areas: Val Gardena and Val di Fassa in the Eastern Dolomites, and the Brenta Dolomites further west. Each offers a different style of skiing, from the famous Sellaronda circuit to the slopes surrounding Madonna di Campiglio.

Eastern Dolomites: Val Gardena & Val di Fassa

Val Gardena and Val di Fassa lie at the heart of Dolomiti Superski, which covers around 1,200km of pistes across 12 ski areas. Several of our resorts also offer easy access to the Sellaronda, the famous ski circuit around the Sella massif. This part of the Dolomites is ideal for skiers who enjoy covering plenty of terrain, with options for families, couples and experienced skiers alike.

Val Gardena

Val Gardena combines superb skiing with a distinctive South Tyrolean character and some of the Dolomites' most recognisable scenery. Its slopes are particularly strong for intermediate skiers, while connections to the Sellaronda open up miles of skiing across the surrounding valleys.

Selva di Val Gardena
At 1,563m, Selva is a lively, high-altitude resort with direct access to the Sellaronda. Its extensive skiing and good choice of après-ski bars make it a great base for keen skiers, couples and groups.

Ortisei
At 1,236m, Ortisei is a beautiful traditional town with an attractive pedestrian centre, restaurants, cafés and shops. Access to Seceda and family-friendly Alpe di Siusi makes it particularly appealing to families, couples and mixed-ability groups.

Val di Fassa

Val di Fassa has a more typically Italian mountain-resort atmosphere, surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Eastern Dolomites. The valley offers everything from easy Sellaronda access to quieter local ski areas, making it easy to choose a resort to match your preferred style of ski holiday.

Canazei
At 1,465m, Canazei is one of Val di Fassa's liveliest resorts, with easy access towards the Sellaronda and a good selection of bars and restaurants. A strong choice for intermediates, couples and those looking for après-ski.

Campitello di Fassa
At 1,448m, Campitello offers quick access to the Sellaronda via the Col Rodella cable car but has a quieter atmosphere than neighbouring Canazei. Ideal for keen skiers and couples who prefer relaxed evenings.

Pozza di Fassa
At around 1,320m, Pozza is a traditional and relaxed resort with convenient local skiing. Its quieter atmosphere makes it a good base for families and couples who aren't focused on nightlife or direct Sellaronda access.

Vigo di Fassa
At around 1,380m, Vigo di Fassa is ideal for beginners and families, with access to the scenic Catinaccio ski area. Wide, gentle slopes, good snow and beautiful Dolomite views provide a relaxed place to learn, while its location away from the Sellaronda means quieter pistes.

Western Dolomites: Brenta Dolomites

The Brenta Dolomites offer a different skiing experience from Val Gardena and Val di Fassa. This western area has its own extensive ski network and does not connect to the Sellaronda or Dolomiti Superski. Instead, Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo form part of the Campiglio Dolomiti di Brenta ski area, with around 150km of pistes and skiing reaching approximately 2,500m.

Madonna di Campiglio
At 1,550m, Madonna di Campiglio combines extensive skiing with one of Italy's most stylish mountain towns. Restaurants, shops and a lively après-ski scene make it a strong all-round choice for couples, groups and intermediate skiers.

Pinzolo
At around 800m, Pinzolo offers a quieter, more traditional Italian atmosphere while remaining linked to the wider Campiglio ski area. It is particularly appealing to families and couples who want good skiing without the busier resort atmosphere.
