Nestled within the breathtaking mountain landscape of the Dolomites, Val Gardena (Gröden) is one of the most beautiful regions in South Tyrol. The three villages of Ortisei, St. Christina, and Selva di Val Gardena combine Alpine tradition, South Tyrolean hospitality, and Italian lifestyle in a truly unique way. Surrounded by iconic peaks such as the Sassolungo and the Sella Group, the region offers a spectacular natural setting with countless opportunities for both outdoor adventure and relaxation.
Beyond the ice rink, the region invites visitors to explore every facet of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether strolling through picturesque villages, hiking to traditional mountain huts, or visiting breathtaking viewpoints, Val Gardena offers unforgettable experiences in nature. Famous destinations such as Alpe di Siusi, Passo Gardena, and the legendary Tre Cime di Lavaredo are also easily accessible from the valley.
The village of Selva di Val Gardena charms visitors with its cafés, restaurants, shops, and welcoming atmosphere. At the same time, the rich Ladin culture that characterizes the entire valley gives the region its distinctive identity and unique appeal.
As a result, Val Gardena offers far more than just outstanding training conditions. It provides the perfect setting for memorable iceDOME camp days surrounded by the extraordinary beauty of the Dolomites.
