The Seiser Alm, Europe’s largest high plateau situated at around 1850 m, offers winter sports enthusiasts perfectly developed and groomed slopes, as well as modern lifts. Other activities such as cross-country skiing, hiking, and horse-drawn sleigh rides are also highly valued here.
You can reach the Seiser Alm either by car via a well-developed road, with the 16-person gondola lift from Seis am Schlern, or from St. Ulrich in Grödnertal with another 15-person gondola lift. From the pass summit/Compatsch, you can take the detachable four-seater chairlift Euro, which mainly serves the practice area on the Seiser Alm, to the Kombibahn Puflatsch. Up here on the Puflatsch (2100 m), the Hexe platter lift is still running, giving you a nostalgic feeling of the times before modern, fast lift systems—something that, especially today, invites skiers to take things easy. The runs back down to the Seiser Alm are intermediate to difficult.
The slope to the other side of the ski area passes under the pass road, leading you to the Spitzbühl double chairlift. On easy and intermediate runs, you can enjoy the detachable four-seater chairlift Laurin and the detachable six-seater chairlift Panorama. Via a very easy run and the detachable six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods Paradiso, you reach the most challenging slopes in the ski area at Goldknopf. The Bubble takes you up to 2249 m, the highest point in the ski area. Up here, there is a speed measurement track where speeds of 100 km/h are not uncommon.
Intermediate slopes lead down to Saltria (1700 m). To reach the Bubble Florian and the ski bus to Monte Pana, you are transported a short distance uphill by a conveyor belt. At the Bubble Florian, you will find wide, long, and intermediate runs. The connection back to the Seiser Alm is no longer a problem with the Bubble Floralpina.
To return to the pass summit, you must first go up to the Goldknopf and then ski down to the four-seater chairlift Bamby, which takes you further towards the Seiser Alm. At Monte Piz, where the gondola lift from St. Ulrich also ends, four more chairlifts and the Bubble Monte Piz are in operation. The runs here are mostly easy to intermediate. With the Steger double chairlift and an easy run, you reach the pass summit again.
With the Dolomiti Superskipass, you can also ski the famous Sella Ronda from the Seiser Alm. From Saltria, a bus (check the timetable, as the bus does not run very often) goes to Monte Pana, from where you can reach Mont de Seura or Ciampinoi to get to Wolkenstein and join the Sella Ronda to circle the Sella massif.
