Dolomiti Superski

The Dolomiti Superski pass covers twelve ski areas across the Dolomites on a single ticket: Val Gardena, Val Badia, Alta Badia, Arabba-Marmolada, Val di Fassa, Cortina d'Ampezzo, and several others, plus the 3 Zinnen (Tre Cime) area in the east. Together they represent around 1,200km of groomed piste and 450 lifts, making it one of the largest and most varied ski circuits in the world.

The Sella Ronda — the classic circuit around the Sella massif — is the heart of the system and can be skied in a day; the full network would take weeks to explore properly. Most skiers base in one of the main valley towns (Selva di Val Gardena, Corvara, Canazei, Arabba, or Cortina) and explore neighbouring areas on day trips. The pass is available for any number of days and is generally good value compared to single-resort passes. Off-piste skiing in the powder bowls above the groomed pistes is excellent after fresh snow; guides are available in all the main towns. Lift queues are worst at the Sella passes on fine Saturdays in January and February.

A story
The Dolomiti Superski pass was created in 1974 as an agreement between a handful of competing valleys to accept each other's lift tickets. It was one of the first inter-valley ski passes in the world. Today it covers 1,200 kilometres of piste across 12 ski areas and around 450 lifts — bigger than any single ski resort anywhere. The original valleys that agreed to share a ticket in 1974 are now part of one of the most complex commercial arrangements in the mountain sports industry.
