Sella's blog
Stories with heart
New, old, exciting and informative... The Sella Blog offers reading material for everyone:
World Cup, Christmas village, marvels of snow and ice: in the 2023/24 winter season in Val Gardena/Gröden, one highlight follows the next. We asked the Hotel Sella team what they are particularly looking forward to and summarised the highlights for you:
Sometimes we can't believe ourselves how beautiful we have it. Especially in autumn, it seems to us as if creation had slipped out of the box of natural beauty here with us above Val Gardena and landed just in one spot.
Let us guess - you are looking for the perfect bike hotel in the Dolomites, have googled "bike holiday in Val Gardena" or "mountain biking in South Tyrol" or came here via our newsletter, right?
Again and again guests ask us: Which is the best hiking month? Apart from the fact that it is always beautiful here in Selva, we are real fans of early summer.
So why is Selva now called Wolkenstein in German?
If we could, we would ski all year round. But because it's easier to ski on powder snow than on grass, winter is definitely one of our favourite seasons here at Hotel Sella.
You can hike anywhere there are mountains. But this special feeling of elation, this euphoria that sets in as soon as you lace up your hiking boots, is something you probably only feel in the Dolomites. Why is that so?
Speeding around the bends, over hill and dale and competing with the summer wind...
The fresh air, the wonderful view, physical exercise... While for many adults there is hardly anything more beautiful than hiking, many children make a long face just at the sight of the mountain boots. That's obvious, isn't it?
We don’t need to explain anything to die-hard ski fans and winter sports enthusiasts – when it’s winter, nothing keeps sports enthusiasts indoors.
