The Gardena in Ortisei is an excellent base for discovering the Dolomites, one of the most enchanting Alpine regions as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Just 200 metres from the Hotel is the cable car station for getting to the Alpe di Siusi, the largest high-altitude plateau in Europe, with its pleasant downhill slopes for speed-loving skiers and an excellent network of trails for those who prefer cross-country skiing. Also close to the Hotel is the ultra-modern tunnel with escalators to connect the town centre to the Seceda cable car station, taking skiers to the Gherdëina Skiring and the famous Sella Ronda ski circuit.
