With its south-facing orientation, Seceda isn’t solely one of many sunniest ski areas inside Val Gardena, it’s additionally probably the most lovely. Specifically, the Fermeda slope ranks as one in every of my all-time favourite ski runs within the Dolomites, alongside the Armentarola Piste, the Ra Valles runs within the Cortina d’Ampezzo resort, and the König Laurin II runs in Carezza resort.
There’s no higher strategy to expertise Seceda than on skis. Nevertheless, if you happen to don’t ski, it’s additionally attainable to trip the Ortisei-Furnes-Seceda cableways and hike 10 minutes as much as the Seceda summit viewpoint to soak up the views. I like to recommend sporting microspikes.
