Events Val Gardena (Gröden)

Val Gardena is the place to be if you want to experience that special feeling in the air which comes right before Christmas. Nowhere other can you live the excitement of the advent period like at the heart of the Dolomites. Part of the magic lies in the countless attractions which make Val Gardena just that bit more christmassy:

Christmas Village Ortisei: 05.12.2024 - 05.01.2025
"Mountain Christmas" - Christmas in Selva Val Gardena: 06.12.2024 until 05.01.2025

The Sellaronda is one of the most beautiful skiing carousels in the whole world and is visited every year by countless skiers during the winter season. Hop into a lift in Dolomites Val Gardena up into the mountains and access the carousel to be rewarded by stunning views and slopes for every skiing level. And, once a year, the Sellaronda takes on a completely new shape: indeed, normally families and expert skiers would explore the carousel but on this special occasion 1,000 participants will be testing their strength, their stamina and their flexibility as well as their courage during the Sellaronda skiing marathon.

Rock the Dolomites is a music festival many won’t expect in peaceful Dolomites Val Gardena. Rock bands from the region will enthuse the audience with their tunes for a whole week. Instead of folk music and unique sounds you’ll only hear virtuoso guitar riffs, drum solos and passionately sung rock lyrics. Guests and locals alike appreciate this change, as proven by the fact some holiday-goers have recently started planning their trips to Dolomites Val Gardena around the Rock the Dolomites dates.

You can enjoy peace and quiet in Dolomites Val Gardena all year round. However, the day of the Spring Race is the perfect excuse for organising a terrific party! It’s a fun obstacle challenger that will take skiers from the Seceda meadow right to the centre of Ortisei; here, all the brave and brazen souls who took part will be welcomed by the party of a lifetime.
The participating teams always come up with funny costumes, be it bathrobes, a swimming costume or funny hats and wear them as they ski. The winners and the most creative team will be awarded various prizes.
