The Best Insider Tips for Val Gardena

While other ski resorts host celebrities on vacations, this picturesque area is home to some stars of its own: mountaineering legend and actor Luis Trenker, for example, was born in Ortisei in 1892, and music producer Giorgio Moroder, who became a pioneer of electronic dance music with his Euro-disco sound, also comes from Ortisei. And then there is also ski world champion Isolde Kostner and figure skating world champion Carolina Kostner. It's no wonder that this region is home to sports stars: perfect slopes in front of rugged mountain peaks that look like a movie set, as well as picturesque lakes, are right on the doorstep. The Val Gardena ski area is connected to the Alpe di Siusi and together with it is part of the Dolomiti Superski ski carousel.
