Sella Ronda

The Gruppo Sella is one of the South Tyrol highlights. In Italian, Sella means Saddle and the massif is so named because from distance it resembles a horse saddle. The Sella Ronda is a very well known tour around the massif either on ski, foot, car or cycle. It is a must for every ski enthusiast and can be skied either clockwise or anticlockwise. The route runs completely around the Sella massif, the huge massifs at the end of the Gardena Valle, which are among the Dolomites' most well-known mountains along with the Catinaccio and the Three Peaks.

The majestic massifs connect four of the most famous Dolomite passes: included among them are the Sella Pass, Pordoi Pass, Campolongo Pass and Gardena Pass. For winter sports fans this is a dream destination in winter and, in the summer, Sella Ronda is one of the most popular destinations for mountain bikers, particularly once a year when the streets are closed off to all traffic with the exception of bicycles for the big Sella Ronda Bike Day.
