The ski area
The Alpe di Siusi plateau has around 73 km of slopes over 65 runs, with 24 winter lifts between 1,227 and 2,220 m. The split is 24 km blue, 46 km red and only 3 km black, and the reds here are gentle by Alpine standards. This is cruising country: broad, sunny pistes across open meadows, with the Sassolungo and Sciliar as a backdrop. Snow parks and well-signposted children’s zones round things off.
A gondola links the plateau with Ortisei in Val Gardena, which puts the Sellaronda within reach. The combined Seiser Alm/Gröden pass zone offers 181 km and 79 lifts, and the Dolomiti Superski pass 1,200 km. The 2026/2027 season runs from 4 December 2026 to 4 April 2027.
Who is Alpe di Siusi for?
Alpe di Siusi is the Dolomites’ family plateau. Children learn on wide, flat nursery slopes, parents ski gentle reds within sight of the hotel, and nobody is in a hurry. It is also a fine choice for mixed groups: winter walkers, cross-country skiers and tobogganers have as much to do as the downhill skiers. Confident skiers should treat it as a base for Val Gardena and the Sellaronda rather than a destination; the blacks run out on day one. Nightlife is minimal.
Practical
From Belgium plan about 1,000 km and 10 hours via the Brenner, with Innsbruck airport about 110 km away. Hotels on the plateau are ski-in/ski-out and car-free in winter; Siusi, Castelrotto and Ortisei below are cheaper and connected by gondola. Book early for the February holidays.
