Poster: A snowHead
|
Any recommedations? It will be our first time there and my first non-skiing holiday due to knee surgery. I'm planning to take lots of books, but might get cabin fever if I do nothing but sit in my bedroom for a week. Anything else around? I've googled but not come up with much...
Thanks
Lilac

lilac, welcome to snowHeads!
I can't offer you any concrete advice, of the resorts on the Sella Ronda I'd imagine Selva Gardena is your best bet - it is the largest. The scenery is out of this world, so you can spend some time just looking at it and a couple of the lifts out of Selva are cable cars / gondolas - so easily utilised by the non-skier. You might do a day trip to Bolzano.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

lilac, Sorry cant be of benefit either. Was being far too selfish up on the slopes to look around. Scenery is V, V, V beautiful.

lilac, The skibus service in the valley, linking the 3 resorts of Selva/Wolkenstein, St. Cristina and Ortisei/St. Ulrich gives you 7 days useage for only 5 Euros!
In my opinion Ortisei/St Ulrich is the prettiest of the 3 towns (with pedestrianised area), and from Ortisei as a non-skier you can take the gondola and cable car up to the Seceda area. This has beautiful views, good mountain restaurant and is a popular sun-trap area for skiers and non-skiers alike
Although I've not tried it, Ortisei also has a swimming pool complex with water jets etc. - might be good for your knee recovery!
I was in Selva over Christmas, and the British Tour operators (Crystal, Thompson, Inghams, Neilson) organised an optional day trip excursion to Cortina D'Ampezzo on the Wednesday. The drive itself is scenic and interesting, and although the majority were people aiming to spend time on the slopes, there were a few people who just spent the day in the town itself.
