We are pretty much novice skiers and are thinking of Ortisei in late December.

Any thoughts on;
snow
crowds
access and condition of lifts etc.


Is it a decent place etc? We have a 9 year old girl and are looking at staying here

Ortesi is part of the Sella Ronda circuit, not for the faint hearted, if your a novice, stay local, but great sking in the area....B.

Ah, hadn't realised that. The price of the hotel we are looking at is not for the faint-hearted either!

Dreading that I have done the wrong thing. No snow there at the moment from what I can gather. Not sure how hand it is to get to the higher slopes. Hard to work these things things out from the web.
Would anybody have any idea how hard it is to drive (AND PARK the car near a lift) from Ortisei\St Ulrich up to Selva Gardena\Wolkenstein?

For beginners I would recommend Alpe di Suissi, and for transport you can use ski bus that is driving throw the valley all day.

Thanks for the info. Looks like they are getting some decnt snow there too. I see that there appears to be a gondale that goes up to Suisi from Oritsei. Is this a useful option?

Yes, it goes from town center, slopes are very easy there, ideal for the begginers
