Völs am Schlern - skiing on Europe's highest alp!
Völs am Schlern shines at 880 m with its charming and sunny location. Nestled in gentle mountains, the spa resort is especially known for its hay baths and mild climate. The extensive winter landscape around Völs offers numerous leisure time activities. Alternatives to skiing include tobogganing through the winter scenery, or exploring and enjoying the surroundings on the far-reaching cross-country track network and winter hiking trails, or on a snow-shoe hike. Especially dominant is the rock formation of the Santnerspitze (2,414 m) and the famous Schlern (2,564 m).
SkiWith the lift pass "Gröden/Seiser Alm" you will find 175 km of piste and 87 lift systems available in front of the breathtaking scenery of the Dolomites. The snow-sure and family-friendly ski area Seiser Alm, as the largest high-altitude mountain pasture in Europe, offers mainly blue and light red pistes. Beginners and leisurely skiers will enjoy the wide runs at the Laurin and Florian lifts, whereas the more adventurous will enjoy the slalom and speed stretches. The black slalom slope at Puflatsch is the most difficult run and offers an altitude difference of 250 m - a must for cracks! The snow park at Seiser Alm including kickers, rails and boxes also provides all sorts of fun.
The connection to Gröden via St. Ulrich offers even more variety. With an upgrade to the Dolomiti Superskipass, you can use a total of 1,200 km of piste in 12 ski areas, including the Sella Ronda, the spectacular day circuit around the Sella Massif with ski and lift!
